How low was the fee? I recommend using dynamic fees in the future to help ensure adequate fees are used for transactions.

You may be able to help push the TX through by creating a new transaction with the change of the first transaction and including a high fee. This sometimes encourages miners to include your transaction so that they can claim the fee of the new transaction.

Hello

about 0.00001. I did not use dynamic fees bc it warned that transaction fee too high Sad What should I do now? how to create new transaction? I did not have another 0.7 BTC in my wallet now.
You need to wait for all the nodes to drop the transactio so the btc you sent will be sent back in your wallet and only then you can make a new transaction. Next time use a higher fee to avoid having problems with confirmation.

how long I have to wait? It has been 6th day until now.

No need to wait for ALL nodes to drop it. That's going to take a really long time. You only need to wait for most nodes to drop the transaction and they already did.
Just click the green ball at the bottom right, untick "Select servers automatically" if it is ticked and change your server. Wait a minute after changing server, if your transaction is still there then change to another server. Once you find a server that doesn't have your transaction you can create the transaction again with higher fee.

Thank you. I will try this trick next time.

Hello all

Just to update that I received my money back after waiting for 9 days. Somehow, my money + transaction fee successfully went to its destination . I don't know what happen. The system might did it finally I think.

Hello

This is my Transaction ID: 21b2fc39030c091090693ae8910f06b17ddd2ca9d5f579600cd85d4eb51470c6
please help me Sad

Wow, that is a huge sized transaction with a really low fee + very small change. It could take awhile before that transaction confirms, if it ever does. Blockchain.info says their node even rejected it due to the fee being too low.

Did you have the "Enable Replace-By-Fee" option enabled in Preferences->Fees? If so, this may make it fairly easy for you to include a higher fee. Otherwise you'll likely need to attempt to double spend it or wait for it to get rejected and fall off the network so you can respend them.

I send the fee 0.00001 because when I use dynamic fee it said tx fee was too high. What should I do now? How to enable the option? or, how to double spend? I do not have enough 0.7 BTC in my wallet now. Sad

Transaction ID? If no one is rebroadcasting the transaction it should have been dropped by most nodes already. Try switching servers.
