Given the current "bull run"... and the increased network traffic, fees have shot up again... currently you're looking at somewhere around 100 sats/byte to get into a block. If your transaction is paying less than this, it could take quite a while. Given you've been waiting a week, I'm guessing your fee rate was under 5 sats/byte...

As for "recovery"... you'll need the transaction to drop out of the mempool... the default time for this for the majority of nodes is 14 days.

For "acceleration", it depends on your fee rate, if it was actually above 10 sats/byte, you could try the ViaBTC accelerator for free (extremely limited and difficult to actually get into)... or you're looking at paying $$$$ to the commercial accelerators like BTC.com etc.

Otherwise, if RBF was enabled, you could try increasing the fee... but as the current fee levels are massive, that is likely to cost quite a bit.

Thanks to the user community here I was able to fix my Armory wallet.

Now I'm trying to send bitcoins to another address, however, it has been a week and the transaction is still not on the blockchain:
  • Can I get the bitcoins back?
  • Is there any way to get the transaction to go through?
