Hey guys, would appreciate the help. I'am new to bitcoins and am facing some problems with my Electrum transaction. Pretty much the same thing, I made a transaction 3 days ago, it said "unconfirmed parent" and money hasn't been transferred. The person receiving the transaction has said they can see the coins but not access it. Now the unconfirmed parent has gone and it say's "low fee". But I'm worried the bitcoins I transferred to my Electrum wallet never reached it in the first place as next to area that show's my balance it says "- unconfirmed" next to the amount. Plz help, is this only due to a low fee paid and where are my coins?

My transaction ID is: 3e2389fcd405897d41b0cca646bc04127fb215a45b515647bcbf8d84ca1097d3

Any Help would be Appreciated!

Keep submitting your transaction ID to this page until it says its been accepted. The mining pool that runs the page will then confirm your transaction for you. The page has a limit on transactions per hour that it accepts, so you have to keep trying it.

Don't spend from your wallet until all pending transactions are confirmed. That transaction should take about 6 hours to confirm. Enable dynamic fees and set the fee slider to high.

Okay thank you wrote them a message, downloading Bitcoin Core atm, how long does a drop out of my tx from the network take?

2 to 3 days would do as long as no one rebroadcasts the tx every now and then.

Is Electrum rebroadcasting the tx? How can I avoid that?

Electrum doesn't, Bitcoin Core does. Anyone can rebroadcast, so if you're sending bitcoins to someone they can do it IF they want and know how to.

Hello,

I have a little issue with an Electrum transaction. I did not know that if there is a unconfirmed transaction, it is possbile to use this unconfirmed money for a transaction. After the unconfirmed transaction appeared, I sent my other money to a fresh Electrum wallet. A part of the fees was paid by the unconfirmed transaction (0.0099328 BTC), I sent 4.8 BTC to my other wallet, now everything is frozen. The first small unconfirmed transaction is not confirming and now I am sitting here after almost 30 hours, looking at my two wallets and the two "Unconfirmed parent" stamps...

First small transaction which won´t confirm (maybe to small / fees -> it´s only Medium Priority)

https://blockchain.info/tx/773ae0de77d8839732f8c3b89199fda73ca0529b92f19cc052b788c4acce057e

And the transaction to my other wallet:

https://blockchain.info/tx/e3fd371ca3239a1e027624e85f4f5a3c691a5a57ac54b947d6e19e069008fc2f

What should I do now? Wait untill the first one arrives? Double-spend (not 100% sure about what I have to do, need good tutorial)?
Can´t do my stuff...

Regards

Wait for the first tx to confirm. Both transactions have low fees so it probably will take a long time. If those txes stays unconfirmed for days your tx will eventually be dropped from the network. You'll be able to resend with higher fees then.
You can try contacting macbook-air or Quickseller and ask them to push your transactions to F2pool (they may ask for a small payment).

I have a transaction in my Electrum log that's marked as "Unconfirmed Parent". What is this should I do anything about it?

Thanks!

AFAIK unconfirmed parent mean that you spent or sent the coin from which the transaction which it came from is still unconfirmed (the incoming transaction in your wallet. Your outgoing transaction will be confirmed next once that incoming transaction is confirmed. Still it depends on the fee on how long it will take to be confirmed.

Thanks! I guess it's just a matter of "hurry up and wait"

I'm aware the blockchain is severely backlogged at the moment.
