Topic: My Transaction Stuck already 4th Day - Please Help. (Read 316 times)

The best you can do is to rebroadcast the transaction, the transaction would have left mempool some weeks ago, it usually take two weeks for transaction to drop from mempool, but it might take before or longer but transaction of 6 to 7 weeks would have dropped from mempool. All you need to to is to spent the same transaction again or cancel it.

They aren't being shown by a block explorer. But they are still taking up space on the Trezor wallet to prohibit double spending. It's via the desktop-web browser.

I'll look into the trezor/electrum thing, thanks for the idea.

6 or 7 weeks? Are they still being shown on a block explorer?
If not, are you using trezor suite on your desktop, are are you using the web interface?

If it's the desktop version, maybe you can try opening your trezor with electrum... That way you should be able to re-spend the unspent outputs (you'll have to activate coin controll to select the unspent output tough).

Some more info, like the tx id, might help getting a better view of the situation: posting the tx id decreases your privacy but not the safety of your funds...

I've had two transactions stuck for nearly 6-7 weeks now from a Trezor. What can I do about this?

This is great, that means free acceleration still works, I have checked to know that the transaction was put in viabtc free acceleration. With the average mempool size we currently having, it is clear that viabtc really helped the transaction confirmed because the mempool is having many transactions to be confirmed which makes miners only to pick high fee ones.

See:
And:
block 670253: Miner ViaBTC

ViaBTC | Transaction Accelerator is the only one I know that really works:

Woow , thank you guys for all your Answers
Finally my Transaction was Confirmed

I don't know how but I am very Happy now
I just learned from all of You, about Bitcoin Transactions what is Great.

Have a Great Day and Weekend.

Kind Regards.

I can second this. The block explorer I use lately tells that the tx was received "2021-02-09 10:19:55 UTC", and that's about 3 days ago.
So I don't know what the wallet shows, but the chance it's re-broadcasting the tx is slim to none.

I ran exactly the same command and it looks like my node has that transaction in its mempool, so it hasn't been dropped completely yet.

I have no idear how breadwallet works... All i can say is that when i query my own node:


So, your transaction is not in my node's mempool... And my node has been running for months... So my node either rejected your transaction or it was already dropped from my mempool... Odds are BRD is not retransmitting it, otherwise i probably would have found it in my mempool...

@Charles-Tim and the Wallet will not retransmit every time I check the Transactions?

I mean if 14 Days over but I check my Wallet and it can be that the Wallet will resend the Transaction?
Because as I check my Transaction in BRD Wallet it always show me the current DateTime as Initialized DateTime for this Transacrion.

I wanted to add a little sidenote to this remark: those 14 days are not set in stone... They're not part of the bitcoin protocol.

There is no cental mempool, every node keeps unconfirmed transactions in it's own mempool for a certain amount of time. The default setting of bitcoin core nodes is 14 days (at least, it used to be 14 days IIRC), but every node can chose to set a higher or lower amount of time. Also, there are other node implementations (and i have no idear what their default setting is). On top of this, the mempool also has a maximum size, if it's full, transactions will be pruned from the node's mempool (so it's possible at times of mempool congestion that your tx is dropped from most mempools after less than 14 days).

Bottom line: after 14 days, an unconfirmed transaction will be dropped from the mempool of the majority of the nodes, but defenatly not all of them. It's possible to see a transaction be dropped from most mempools after 14 days, but still see it end up in a block after 31 days if the mining node was running with a non-standard setting... So, by just recreating the transaction without looking at the unspent outputs that were used in the dropped transaction, it's possible the receiver will end up being payed twice. This is why it's a good idear to re-use the same unspent output when re-creating a transaction that was dropped from most mempools...

It might sound really technical, but it's important to know the difference

With what I have just checked, TheFoolIsBack made a transaction from a legacy address with 2 inputs to pay for goods, he paid to two addresses. No any bitcoin went back to his address, the reason I noticed this is that, TheFoolIsBack used legacy address but the two address paid to are bech32 addresses.

You do not lose anything, you only just have to be patient for the mempool to be less congested, your transaction will be confirmed likely during this weekend if mempool become less congested. Even, if not confirmed within 14 days, the Bitcoin will be dropped from the mempool back into your wallet.

And how can I Recover this Transaction if ViaBTC will not proceed my Transaction because of low amount?
Is there another Option?
Is here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/freepay-bitcoin-transaction-accelerator-5034315 use the same Method with ViaBTC or other (should I post also there my Transaction ID)?

Now I lost again my Hope

I am familiar with the BRD wallet but I think the RBF is not set as the default just like we have on Electrum and by the look of the situation there's no way for the OP to bump up the transaction fee unless he's going to use the paid service offer by ViaBTC which is the best option cause ViaBtc free service accelerator see to work for the transaction with at least 0.0001BTC/kb or 10k sat/kb

Transaction easily get confirmation when there's no congestion and it better you use tx fee estimator as advised.

Let me get this straight: you bought something, paid for it, then in another transaction paid 0.00003850 BTC more (for shipping). So the 0.00099878 BTC BTC went back to your own wallet?
If that's the case, you should have used only 1 instead of 2 inputs (I prefer to use wallets that allow coin control, so I get to manually pick which funds to spend). It would have made your transaction smaller, and the fee lower. Or even better: avoid paying such small amounts of Bitcoin, the webshop itself can barely use it because of transaction fees. It would be great if the webshop can accept Bitcoin Lightning Network for this.

@loyceV  0.00003850 BTC this amount was added the Webshop where I Purchased as Shipping cost

So than now I know this was their Fault not mine.
They should include in price of the goods not separate.

Or am I wrong?

Woow thank you guys for your replies

I will take in consideration all your advises in the Future of my Transactions using Bitcoin
And I will give a shot to BRD and if facing again the same Situation I will change my Wallet.
I am using this Wallet since a while now and never had issues like this. BRD has no option to manual enter a Transaction Fee ... it offers me economy regular and fast.

Kind Regards

I recently used it, and it worked. You have to enter it at exactly the beginning of the hour (say: 10:00:00) to stand a chance.

If ViaBTC doesn't mine it, my guess is it will confirm on Sunday indeed.

For future transactions, you should avoid sending 0.00003850 BTC to change addresses. At current transaction fees, this is worthless dust. You would have been better off adding this amount to the transaction fee.

@mocacinno Thanks for your tips

BRD is on Playstore and AppStore present Wallet.
I will give a last chance to use it onward and see if SegWit Option Help or not
