My other option would be wait for my wallet to kick out the tranaction correct?
Yes. Since it looks like you are using blockchain.info (IMHO that is a bad idea), they will drop the transaction after 3 days.

This happened one or two other times. I did not realize the size of the transaction referred to bytes not btc.
Yes, that is a common misconception.

Not much other choice But to wait.
You could try the RBF transaction. I created an unsigned tx for you that you just need to sign and then push. It is the exact same thing as your unconfirmed one except it has a higher fee to get it confirmed faster.


It cleared a few minutes ago.

Thanks for help.

I am confused as to your estimate  I paid 0.0002 already.
The two addresses are within the same wallet.
So to push this   I need 0.00011 extra ?
The entire fee should have been 0.0011

If so How do I add this 0.00011 extra.
you must create a second transaction which spends exactly those same inputs just that one of the outputs has slightly less so that the fee is high enough.

I can make it for you, you just need to sign the unsigned transaction which I will create.

Edit: sorry, I had 1 too many zeros. The fee should be 110000 satoshis

You can check it through various decode tx tools like this one: https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/decodetx/ and make sure that it is what you want. Then you can sign it and broadcast it. If you need help with any of those, let me know.

better yet can you push it for a reasonable fee>    say .005

Solution: Set your standard fee to 120% or more. I do 150% on some wallets with a lot of addresses.
This isn't a solution. Some miners calculate the priority of paid TX from fees/kb and hence your transaction size would be rounded up to 3kb. With a fee of 0.0002BTC/3KB, it can take sometime.

By the way you could ask users like "knightdk" to push your transaction, gets confirmed very fast.
Rebroadcasting does not ensure that it will definitely confirm soon. It would still require a miner that is willing to accept it. It would allow for miners to see your TX and even include it if they hadn't or has dropped it out of the mempool.

Here's the raw tx:
Code:

The problem here is the size of the transaction. As Shorena said, the fee isn't sufficient for a transaction of this size. All you can do is wait.

You could attempt a double spend transaction which would simply boost the fee (an RBF transaction). Basically you just need to send the transaction again but with a higher fee.

It isn't the size of the transfer, but rather the size in bytes of the transaction. If those 2.79 Bitcoin all came from the same input, it would cost much less than what you have which comes from 11 inputs. The more inputs and outputs that you have, the larger your transaction will be. Your transaction is 2053 bytes (2.053 kilobytes) which is rather large for a transaction. With a transaction of this size, I estimate that you would need a fee of 0.00011BTC in order for it to confirm within the next block.

I use this site: http://www.cointape.com/ to calculate fees. It does it in satoshis per byte.

I did notice when you use a wallet with a lot of addresses the coins get spread all over those addresses which makes one transaction rather large in size because some wallets generate a lot of inputs. Example: https://blockchain.info/tx/86ac9939ee02a134057acb472a6703251faba6a278219cfdfb6f86227e184045

- Transaction fee less than recommended

Some wallets don't actually calculate this correct causing a transaction to look fine on the fees but they are actually to low because of the many inputs.

Solution: Set your standard fee to 120%

I suspect there is a flag against addresses.
There is not. Nothing "flags" an address for being old or prevents an old address from spending.

The problem here is the size of the transaction. As Shorena said, the fee isn't sufficient for a transaction of this size. All you can do is wait.

You could attempt a double spend transaction which would simply boost the fee (an RBF transaction). Basically you just need to send the transaction again but with a higher fee.

so what should 2.79 coins cost to transfer?

and while I am at what should 30 coins cost to move?

Makes me think.... you mean they "flag" old addresses? I'm not following you on this one...

Yeah it did now... took over 30 mins though with fee higher as recommended.

Very weird that happens a lot to me somehow.

I suspect there is a flag against addresses.

my address is old and has had 1000 plus transactions.

It is now more then 23 blocks and more then 5 hours since my tx id  was  done

I would not be so annoyed but it now has locked up a new transaction of 30 plus coins.

I also am annoyed since the first transaction should be instant and free.  this address

https://blockchain.info/address/1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje  is the old address with 1328 transactions dating back to 2012


this address is newer

https://blockchain.info/address/1BHKKrAh5oTacQnmjfACXjE9cGyFRR8rVD

but in the same wallet.

So I did a transfer within my own wallet.

I spent 0.0002 to do it and All my funds are frozen. Along with 28 coins from other people

 Not good.

here is proof it is between the same wallet
