Still trying to get in contact with any miners that would think this would be a good project Smiley

An idea: Cant we create a fund for unconfirmed transactions and confirm them from oldest to newest slowly? I would sent a few satoshis for sure!

hello
 you sound interesting but i can't get you clearly please say it again but this time more elaborately with example(s) if possible
thanks

Hello,

Yes of course.

Imagine an online service where you pay a smaller fixed fee and thus would be guaranteed to have your transaction included in the next block the service provider mined.

So as a sender, instead of setting a fee that you think is high enough to be included in a block you would set a really low fee, minimum even, and then pay the fixed fee instead. The fee could in theory be paid with any currency, but most likely easiest with btc.

As a receiver you could easily get any stuck transactions included in a block by paying a small fee. There is no downside for a receiver.

The idea would be to have a person or a group of persons behind the service that run their own miners and mine in a pool to get their own blocks like any miner. But instead of, or apart from, choosing to process only the transactions that have the highest fees like most miningpools do, they would include the transactions that their clients would pay a fixed fee for.

This would possibly create a lower revenue for the miners then if they would mine "normally" but it would provide them with a steady stream of new clients, because nobody wants to pay more then they have to so by offering a lower cost it would quickly be able to become popular.

The same service could offer to include older stuck transaction for free chronologically with partly funds from donations made by its users (clients) and partly the revenue the service make. With the end goal of removing ALL unconfirmed transactions on the network. I am sure that happy users and clients would be happy to round of their payments upwards on the payment page if it was for a good cause like this.

Overtime and if made properly, it and its competition (usually when something works there will be copycats) could reduce the fees in general. Offering a cheaper alternative could lead to less congestion in the network overall.


Update: Maybe even make an ICO to get the startup capital  Grin



i understand and like your logic but  i am not a miner neither are my in any mining pool. so achieving this will be far fetch

do you have any plans on how to get miners on this?

as a matter of fact i already know people who will pay for this.

we need to look for a mining pool which sees at least  1 block in every two days. because what we want to achieve here is low tx fee and not speed

Free accelerators really works?

why not try them out? some will obviously work while others won't but i know paid accelerators which work.
this below will help you if you are looking for something for free

I made a bitcoin transaction on the 2017-05-21 00:15:59 today is the 2017-06-12 8:26:34 that is 3 weeks (21days) yet the transaction is still unconfirmed and the bitcoins have not yet been returned to my wallet as others will suspect so am considering the bitcoins in the transaction stuck..

i have scared through the net for about 2 days now looking for solutions. i found soo many none of which could work in my case.
 
the first solution i saw was to use viabtc.com. which is a website that facilitates bitcoin transactions. but i when tried using them they said my transaction fee was too low.. Yes i blame my self on this because i intentionally set the transaction fee too low. this was because my transaction fee were getting alarming as i was receiving multiply small bitcoin payments which increased my number of inputs per transaction when i want to send btc. and since btc transaction fees are calculated based on inputs and outputs and not amount of bitcoin sent, my transaction fee had to increase. i paid equal amount of fee as the amount i wanted to send in  a particular transaction this is the hash of the transactions where i spent the same on transaction fee as the amount i wanted to send
f09a4f8165e622424cae9b2b0fbcb231688ec308336ab41dec2668f75181750b you can verify

it got so worse that i was to pay a transaction fee which was much higher than the amount of btc i wanted to send. so i ignored the warnings of bockchain.info wallet and went ahead and specified a small transaction fee.. here is the hash of the unconfirmed  transaction
41e96bf8db40818393ed3704a0de7dab97c5955f341644608a41e85a8007c3e5 you can

The second method i tried was the double spending method which i learned from bitzuma.com following the link below
http://bitzuma.com/posts/how-to-clear-a-stuck-bitcoin-transaction/
you can know more about this method by visiting the link above or this link
http://bitcoin-development.narkive.com/NgSiQBmM/bitcoin-development-first-seen-safe-replace-by-fee
 it is simple a path which some nodes on the network accept. they replace an old unconfirmed transactions with a new one following some particular criteria in an attempt to to allow people to increase transaction fee in the new transaction so that their transactions can be confirmed.
after following the lectures i discovered that it were only possible when a single btc address sends send coins (that was the only example i saw)
and i am using a third party blockchain,info which provide different addresses per transaction so for this single transaction i acctually used 7 different wallets so using the double spending method is quite challenging
i have tried a host of others i have seen paid options but i do not trust them
i hope i will get help  here
thanks in advance

There is a guy in this forum in the service section who sped ups transactions for free, i have used his services and it is very quick, you should research and find him , he will be able to help and he can give him a tip as well but next time use higher fees.
oooh that is great but i heard a of guy like that some time ago i researched and had contact with him but he didn't help i do not why and it's not sure if my guy is your guy
but i already found the solution i had to pay 5% of tx to one guy in forum to do it for me //
thanks for the help all the same

Maybe it need some sort of upgrade in the system but i need no one knows how it works if theyou blokchain still like this it will habe athe overloading transactions or maybe we also need a new currency or alternative for a transaction for us to make a psyment fast.

Same thing happened to me as well. I made a transaction many months ago (actually, received BTC). It currently has over 50,000 confirmations, but still says unconfirmed in my wallet.

You most probably already got the amount sent. The reverse is not possible technically. Some people lie and they say that the transaction stuck even a high fee, but this is not true.

what he is saying is his wallet is still showing unconfirmed not that some one is telling him that the transaction is unconfirmed "at least as i understand"
if that be the case then the wallet he is using is to be blamed because a transaction can not be confirmed on blockchain yet the wallet is saying otherwise

You can use blockcypher or another site to watch it.  I have seen a TX take 48 hours and that is the longest.  I like using blockcypher because of two things, you get the network information of how the miner software sees your TX and a lot more.  If you sign up on there, then you can provide a wallet address and get email or SMS alerts anytime your wallet address has a blockchain change, including new TX's and older TX's that are now confirmed. That way you can stop eyeballing it on the web and wait for an alert.  
cool i will try them out ..
hope no additional cost for their services because am already contented with what i have but i would not mine for a free advanced service

Basically, watch it and don't mess around with trying to stop it.  It will confirm and when it does, make sure that you learn why it was slow and work around that in the future.

This is the only thing that i know that is working for me when i got stuck and unconfirmed transaction in the blockchain but remember that you need to have at least a good amount of fee because if you don't have then it will not be able to push (Based on my experience). https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ most of my friends uses that and if it says it is beyond the limit then wait until the next hour because they only refresh every hour. I hope it helps.
