So the priority of the transaction depends on both the transaction size and the fee?

0.1 BTC is usually high enough for you to get lucky and confirm the transaction without a fee.

But next time please either send with a fee, or you can use Coinbase or Localbitcoins wallets which both pays the fee for you, for free.

Good luck!

I can't wait to hear how long it takes to confirm (or be "returned").

It'll be interesting

I saw your transaction and it is still showing unconfirmed!!!!
Really surprised that why did you sent that transaction without paying any fee.

Yes still unconfirmed after 4 days. It was my first bitcoin transaction so I did not know a fee was needed. Anytime with future payments I will always add a fee

That will make it much quicker.  One day transaction fee's alone are suspose to pay for BTC I believe (don't know as far as timeline).  But transaction fee really is important.

If you don't do it this is perfect example in most cases long wait.  And it's over a few cents.

Can you even send a tx without a fee? I thought you need a minimal fee to send bitcoins on the network?

You can choose to send a transaction without any fee whatsoever. However, this transaction will be left behind by miners because it has no incentive. so miners will be considering this Tx with no priority and it keeps being left behind. Eventually, some miner will pick it to complete a block

Usually it takes some time (may be few days) to get confirmed, otherwise you will receive back this amount normally
But it's not advised to send bitcoin without the transaction fee that's complicate the transaction and make it lower

It'll either eventually confirm or be returned so just have patience.

This.

It's a bit of a major fail sending bitcoin's without including a fee. The people who ensure the upkeep of the network need to be paid.

I wouldn't expect them to work for free, just include the minimum fee next time please.

Your transaction will be very low priority so it'll either get confirmed or sent back to you, it may take days though.

I made the same kind of mistake a while back and had to wait 3 days.

Another instance is when I paid a fee of about 12,000 Satoshis on Friday and even that took 7 hours to get the 3 confirmations I needed.

Should go through eventually, or they will be refunded.

For the low priority coins, if you want to send them, you have to pay a fee. Otherwise these pools will not include them.

I'm surprised you never sent a fee.  The last few wallets I have had a fee already set up.

to "unlock" these bitcoins you have two options:

1. double spend the transaction (possible only if you have the private key of the transaction's sending address)

2. spend the unconfirmed output with a big fee and hope that a miner will confirm both the transactions (it's impossible to confirm the transaction with the big fee without confirming the previous zero fee transaction)
(I advice using at least 0.0005 btc)

or you can just wait a couple days, if no miner will confirm the tx it probably will be removed like it never existed.

I sent bitcoin without a fee a few months ago. That transaction was from very old coins, so having very high priority.
