Can someone please do this for me? i am not into technical stuff

I've edited my previous post, but it's rather simple... IF the transaction isn't confirmed in a couple of hours, especially if the network starts to forget your transaction (you cannot find it on blockchain.info, blockr.io,...) you can do the following steps:

1) surf to https://blockr.io/tx/push
2) copy the signed tx from my previous post
3) paste it in the website opened in step 1
4) click on "decode and check"
5) click on "push"

There's no need to do this step to often, only when it takes a really long time, and there's a chance your tx will be forgotten.

BTW: this isn't some magical trick to speed up the transaction, it's just a way to make sure the network remembers your unconfirmed transaction, so you have a shot of getting included in a block.
Thanks but my tx already got 2 confirms now in less then 35 minutes without doing anything.

You got lucky Smiley It's all about averages...
It would be best if you locked this topic now (bottom left corner)

In the future, this problem might also be solved by using CPFP, but that's only when a big part of the nodes are using 0.13.0, so this doesn't help you right now

I withdrawn bitcoin from some website and that generated this tx:
https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/17bc5f723ad82e84f5a3a5e85d3a849521ee158e8632095a097c4542c438149e/
The fees is very low (i think) even it charged me 0.0005 BTC tx fees saying network fees.
Please tell me will it ever get 1 confirmation and how long to wait?

https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ teaches us that at this moment, you would need 70 satoshi's per byte to have a large chance of having your tx added to the next block.

You have added 3730 satoshi's for a 372 byte large transaction. This works out to 10 satoshi's per byte.
ON AVERAGE https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ tells us that a transaction with a fee of 10 satoshi's per byte should probably be confirmed within a timespan of 420 minutes. This works out to 7 hours... Could be more, could be less... There's no way of telling.

The only thing you can easily do is keep rebroadcasting the transaction, so the nodes don't forget about it... Hopefully it'll be confirmed in a reasonable timeframe.

you can do this yourself, either by using bitcoin core, or by using an online service (you can find several on google).

The signed transaction you need to push is this one:
Code:
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
I think you are wrong. Just got 1 confirmation and it's less then 30 minutes way less then 7 hours. Anyways thanks Smiley
