Thanks for trying to help me figure it out what went wrong....

[\quote]But the input of the previous transaction isn't spent yet, did you used another input(s) for the recreated transaction?
Anyways, 1sat/vB is enough at the moment, it's 1-2 blocks away; but CPFP will definitely speed it up.

What's your client BTW? The previous transaction's input may be locked until you manually drop it from your wallet.
If the new transaction is using the previous' input, then it's not in the mempools yet.

...using coinbin to make tx

....[\quote]  until you manually drop it from your wallet
so tried clearing all cache and temp files and recreating tx.  but still mempool conflict error.

>   txn-mempool-conflict (code 18)

also tried switching Broadcast Network

>  A valid signed transaction hexadecimal string is required. Please check if all inputs in the given transactions are still available to spend. See the "Is Tx Output Spent?" API call for reference.

my friend cant afford to loose $, but this is btc and it says it has not moved so that is comforting -  eventually tx will age out of mempool right?

so adding your points to error code, will try importing key into another wallet and try to resend.  If that does not work will try sending to original address with high fee and hopefully some nice miner will push the entire tx string through.   will update - Thanks again

spot on that looks like the problem....recreated the transaction with higher fee
...but the transaction is now stuck in mempool with the sub 1 satoshi fee.

But the transaction itself has an issue.

 If i do child pays for parent push will that get the transaction through the mempool or do i have to wait until the mempool empties erroneous transactions....

You're getting "TX Decode Failed" probably because of the spaces,
did he sent it to you through bitcointalk's PM? because it will add some spaces in between some of the characters.
For that, you/he should enclose it between [code][/code] tags.

But the transaction itself has an issue.
Its fee rate is lower than the standard default of 1sat/vB, the total fee should be 168sat since the transaction's size is 168vB (it only has 139sat fee).
So, you wont be able to send it to most of the nodes (with default relay fee setting).
