1- Is that the way to go, to let the second transaction be confirmed?
Base in my own experienced if your first transaction still not confirm your 2nd transaction will not confirm you should wait first(parent) transaction to be confirm your transaction will be confirm sooner.. If you send this transaction just few hours ago your transaction could be long time to confirm due to high traffic from the network look at the fee https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/The transaction fee is getting high every hour that i think there are lots of transaction right now are having the same thing or stuck transaction..
2- Is there a tutorial about manually editing the local ELectrum files, in order to prevent the wallet to re-send the transaction forever?
No you don't need to edit any files and electrum will not resend any bitcoin its all manually..The only thing that i know is to submit your parent transaction to free accelerator if you don't want to pay here https://www.antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm?m=savePrioritiseTx
Just register and go to in that page and submit your parent transaction.. And hope for 1 day to confirm your transaction..
Or hire miners to confirm your transaction there are some paid services to accelerate transaction.
Thanks.
I had the suspect that Electrum resends the rejected transactions all the time , because a friend of mine has Electrum too, he tried to send this transaction the 6th December https://blockchain.info/tx/a7050759f3429363005f370c77814ce4a396f34faa6e081d7289f58ac89d834b
and still unconfirmed!!
Transactions are supposed to be rejected by the network after max 1 week, but now it's taking 2 weeks
2 weeks is not normal
I think this is the big problem right now because there are lots of bitcoin users are having the same problem in their transaction..
Or miners from bitcoin are getting convert to bitcoin cash to mine because its more profitable than bitcoin..
For now better to look for paid service.. check this section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0
As you can seen there are lots of accelerator thread created that i think we are not the only bitcoin user having this issue..
just find legit paid service to accelerate your transaction without waiting queue like in antpool accelerator or viabtc..
Also check this for default fee http://bitcoinfees.earn.com/
And i notice that the fee is really too much high there are lots of transaction will result not confirm if they know what is the recent default fee or fastest fee..
