Topic: UPDATE UNCONFIRMED FIXED! (Read 214 times)

UPDATE (FIXED)
This is really easy to fix even for beginners. if using coinb.in. I’m a beginner I’ve literally only ever made a couple purchases using BTC.

Steps as follows

1 make sure you have unspent change in your wallet as this is the only way this will work!

2 deposit a decent amount in to your wallet that you can use as a fee (I used £5)

3 use your own wallet address to send the transaction

4 send the amount of unspent change you had in your wallet

5 add the rest of the BTC in your wallet to the Fee

Send... done... 20 mins later I have 2 confirmations on the original transaction I was trying to push through and 2 confirmations on the new one (CPFP).

Thanks for the help people appreciate it

You did wrong about the fee you should check their fee estimation page where you can estimate the correct fee. Here's the correct page https://coinb.in/#fees you can use it again for the future transaction.

Anyway, there is a step by step procedure to do CPFP manually in Coinb.in you don't need to use any 3rd party wallets.

Legend thank you

On >new transaction there’s loads of options including being able to use multiple outputs and inputs. I’ve noticed when I load my redeem script in the new transaction it gives me the option to retrieve unspent coins! Would that mean the change I would have after the transaction is verified? Or does that mean all of the BTC? Or would doing that enable me to double spend with a higher fee?

Thanks again

I believe that while it marks the transactions as RBF by default... the "wallet" component of Coinb.in doesn't offer a way to actually use RBF... instead, I believe you would need to create the RBF transaction yourself...


That *should* work... but I'm not sure if the coinb.in wallet itself supports coin control and being able to specify exactly which outputs to spend. You'd probably need to use the "New -> Transaction" functionality of the website and manually craft the transaction, specifying exact inputs, outputs and fees etc.

Thanks for taking the time to try and help, appreciate it

I’m using coinb in as my wallet now but I’ve realised it doesn’t auto set the right fee should of stuck with electrum

I’ve looked everywhere possible on coinb in for RBF but I can’t find it anywhere (RBF is checked on login)?

Would it be possible to deposit more bitcoins to my wallet to try CPFP?

and lastly could you paste my hex in a message please for some reason I can’t copy it from the reply

Thanks mate

Here is a link to the transaction: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/d961cac7aa56c53ac73d7e30ca6eda2a3e318e07786f497504da1728dbec8191

Here is your raw transaction hex:

Simply rebroadcasting it won't result in it being confirmed any faster... your options are:

1. Wait (tough, but it's what a lot of folks are looking at given the current network load )
2. Try "Replace-By-Fee" (aka RBF)... not clear if you were sending from Electrum to Coinb.in... or you have started using Coinb.in as your wallet?
3. Try a "Child Pays For Parent" (aka CPFP)


#1 requires the least amount of effort... greatest amount of patience...
#2 requires that your wallet supports it... and the transaction was marked as RBF... looking at the decode, it is... "opt_in_rbf": true, but unfortunately... I suspect the "change" output is only 0.00000721 BTC which means that you will not raise the fee in any meaningful way (maybe +1 sat/vbyte at best)
#3 requires that you are able to spend either of the two outputs created in this transaction... and then create a transaction that spends the output with a HUGE fee... you'll want to make sure the fee will be big enough that the average fee across both transactions ends up being like 120+ sats/vbyte at current fee levels

Would really appreciate some help on this please

I switch from using electrum wallet to coinb in and made a stupid mistake by not checking the mining fee!

Transaction was for 0.0233 btc but I didn’t change the mining fee so that was at its default (0.00004 btc) which I know is way to low and the possibility of getting the transaction mined is near zero

It’s been 20 hours unconfirmed and was wondering if any of you could tak me through how to get this transaction through.

I dont want to just wait in the hope that it gets dropped and returned to my wallet reason for that is 1. I’ve not got the patience and 2. That’s not a guarantee, it might just keep getting resent and never go back in my wallet!

I know noob mistake, my own fault, but lesson learnt and hopefully a lesson on double spends or child parent pay if any of them can be done with coinb in?

EDIT tried to broadcast it again but my transaction ID will not convert to hex
