how do I RBF or CPFP the stuck transaction when it doesn't appear in the list of transactions? It doesn't even import the wallet as if it's adding to the addresses - it makes it seem that it's sending the transaction to itself?

you can't RBF, as you can do is CPFP in bech32 (bc1qshr07x9j6xkswast6n7v0ttu52mh2qxs3prgpt) received address. if you successfully importing a private key to electrum, that address had a pending transaction appears on history. Right-click the unconfirmed transaction > then select Child pay for parents.

Okay, now I'm getting more confused. It created a transaction that transferred the balance of that address to this new electrum wallet. The transaction that has been pending since Feb 11th or so is nowhere to be seen, doesn't appear in the history as unconfirmed.

I'm thinking my only option is to hope that the transaction is bounced back to me in a few weeks.

Thanks. The wallet I sent it from is an old Android one with very few features, so it doesn't have a CPFP feature.

CPFP can be done from the receiving wallet, not the old Android Bitcoin Wallet.

I've tried that Ian Coleman link and none of the private keys provided will be accepted by other apps. I'd love to be able to get Electrum to accept the 12 word seed phrase but it won't do it.

I haven't tried it, but this looks promising (again: use it offline!). Given that you say you have 12 words already, did you follow this procedure?
Note that you don't have to try importing the private key from Ian Coleman to check, you only need to check if Ian Coleman's script shows 1Bt2ZMR523WZTRQPDuse9gG4yhAW61Nuhi. If it does, Electrum will accept it's private key.

Thanks for the links. The Github Gist above won't install as the build process fails.

As for the Ian Coleman tool, it's a great resource but it only provides master private keys - it only shows public/private keys for newly generated addresses. There's no way to find the private key for that specific address above. I can keep clicking 'more' and regenerate address pairs, but how many addresses can be generated? Millions? Not sure.

Edit: I've been successfully able to import the receiving wallet address into Electrum - how do I RBF or CPFP the stuck transaction when it doesn't appear in the list of transactions? It doesn't even import the wallet as if it's adding to the addresses - it makes it seem that it's sending the transaction to itself?

you can import to electrum by add colon code

Code:

p2pkh:
p2wpkh-p2sh:
p2wpkh:

you used bech32 address, so input p2wpkh:

is that to mean we should avoid transacting when the market booms? Or is there a strategy to go about transacting?

No, When the market gets high transactions, booms, the strategy is to use a higher fee like over 100 sat/byte (OP used 2 sat/byte at the past transaction). you can also search on google for the best fee for the transaction.

Seems this fee errors often occur when the bitcoin market seems to boom newly and later drops even with the price relatively stable for a period on the high side. So, is that to mean we should avoid transacting when the market booms? Or is there a strategy to go about transacting?

Did you send it to your own wallet? If so, you can use CPFP by making a new transaction from your bcq1shr-address to another address in your own wallet, with a much higher fee. The new fee will have to pay for both transactions.

Update: Maybe trying the seed words in IanColeman (use it offline air gapped!) is better: if you can get the private key for the 1Bt2ZMR523WZ-address, you can leave the small inputs (0.00001000 and 0.00005000 currently aren't worth the fee).
And while you have the private key, don't forget you have $18 worth of Forkcoins.

Hi all,

So I found an old Android wallet and sent the remaining funds to my new wallet. The wallet I used to send the funds was this old Android one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet. Obviously there's no RBF feature.

I stupidly put the fee WAY too low, here is the stuck transaction:
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/5efd80ebe5edfe7cb21974b27a33b735151f30706271c1ce467348acd3a8350b.

What can I do to bump this transaction? I can't use Electrum as it won't accept the old BIP32 phrase or the 12 word seed as it's too old. Exodus won't import it because it's not in base58 format and tells me the WIF is too long?

Any help would be appreciated.
