I have a stuck transaction (2 days already)

0

I have this transaction :

https://blockchain.info/tx/8fdb3e8a0a33b3d1721b6ef7c1c2608b1e1a8aacd8857e22287b120c09ee988a

I understand it's stuck because of the low value i spended but look at the fee.

Do you know how much time it will take to be confirmed ?

Can i do somthing to make it confirm faster ?

I was thinkig to merge it with this one :

https://blockchain.info/tx/25f232656860a196b3e694275cc217c6382f638230663de13946ba5e4df80a1d

Is it possible ?

It looks like there is some strange stuff going on here, did you see this note: "This transaction has a very small output and is none standard." Do you own the address 15DkCkxCDE6aUNNSLHyDRCDARiRBwSHmbk?

There is no need to put a "[solved]" marker into your question text. Since you've accepted an answer, you've already marked this question as "solved".Murch 2016-05-30T11:29:57.167

I believe the problem is that the amount being sent (0.0000024 BTC) might have been too small and therefore below the "dust threshold" listed in this old thread as 0.00002730 BTC when minrelayfee = 0.00005 for a normal transaction. Here is the code that determines what is "dust". Comment says:

// "Dust" is defined in terms of CTransaction::minRelayTxFee,
// which has units satoshis-per-kilobyte.
// If you'd pay more than 1/3 in fees
// to spend something, then we consider it dust.
// A typical spendable txout is 34 bytes big, and will
// need a CTxIn of at least 148 bytes to spend:
// so dust is a spendable txout less than
// 546*minRelayTxFee/1000 (in satoshis)

Note: A previous transaction with exact same fee but larger outputs went through just fine.

Is it stuck forever ?yair ed 2016-05-26T12:58:37.200

Does it effect my other transitions ?yair ed 2016-05-26T12:59:56.730

The other transactions that you made after that one from the same address will be dependent on it. You could try to double-spend as @jonas-schnelli suggested.

If using Blockchain.info, probably best to contact their tech support for help. – Jonathan Cross 2016-05-26T13:51:09.540

but when i double spend do i need to spend more in the fees ?yair ed 2016-05-26T13:54:40.070

will Blockchain.info they cancel it ?yair ed 2016-05-26T13:55:57.447

And what should i write to themyair ed 2016-05-26T13:58:20.727

Your transaction was cleared, all should be good now: https://blockchain.info/address/15DkCkxCDE6aUNNSLHyDRCDARiRBwSHmbk

Your transaction is using a extremely low fee (0.0001 BTC for 226 bytes). It might never confirm.

What you should try to do is double-spend your own transaction with a higher fee. You just need to try to create a transaction with the same input: 61ef08eef99e74f9dd6037c6aff3b8b0703fd86371c259a6c4b6bfd2cd7eacf3/vout:1 and maybe the same output but a higher fee (less change).

thx for comment if i have more transion that i made which arent conifrmed too if the one i mntion here wont be confirmed will it affect them ?yair ed 2016-05-26T09:29:22.277

is double spending safe ?yair ed 2016-05-26T09:39:31.543

0.0001 BTC for 226 bytes is not super low, I was able to send 2 such transactions yesterday and both confirmed immediately. According to https://bitcoinfees.21.co - This fee should generally confirm within 0-1 blocks (0-45 min) on average. The optimal fee of 0.0000006 BTC / byte would be just 0.0001356 BTC. I think there may be something else blocking this transaction.Jonathan Cross 2016-05-26T10:04:22.023

In the first one it says the transiction has a very small output and its none standard and the two other i did with higer values it says "the transiction is spending an input which is unconfirmed" , will they ever go through ?yair ed 2016-05-26T10:26:19.087
