So I’ve got this transaction that’s been sitting in the mempool for nearly 3 months now. I’ve reached out to everyone I could think of. Cashapp denied the original transaction and returned it with a super low fee. If anyone out there could help me speed this up, I’d cover the mempool fee right after I receive the funds. Right now, my wife and I are homeless because I lost my job last month, and we’re in dire need of money to get a hotel room for a week. This is honestly the toughest time in my life and this cash would be a lifesaver. Here’s the TXID: d6d6422223aadc8227e4e3fc5bf09f945556ba712a515c185c19e1e1f316c780
If someone can help, you have no idea how thankful we would be.
Thanks so much to everyone.
BTC transaction is stuck for almost 3 months! I really need help.

If it's sent to your own wallet, you can use Child Pays For Parent. If not, accelerating will be expensive and all you can do is wait. The fee is 9 sat/vbyte, it can take weeks or longer to confirm.
Next time, don't use Cashapp.
Just seeing this
I guessed it's been confirmed
It's been three hours already. The delay was probably the bounce back
OP's transaction was included in a block only 20 minutes after creating this thread by ViaBTC.
First I guessed someone submitted OP's transaction to ViaBTC free accelerator, but since the fee rate was less than 10 sat/byte, it seems that OP used their paid service.

Cashapp must be one of the worst wallets or services to use if one want to withdraw bitcoin out of it. This is probably the 4 person I have come across complaining about a stuck transaction from cashapp due to unreasonably low fee rates
Here is the latest victim.
The transaction is fee rate is 5.99 sat/vB! Imagine, and it has been in the mempool for a week now!
Since the saga of this high transaction fee started I think if you read more than half of members complaining about stuck transactions, it is from a cash app. How can an entity be this careless and the worst of it is that they continue to rebroadcast same transaction over and over again and would frustrate the users about the stuck transaction. If at all it is a mistake they wouldnt be rebroadcasting same thing again.
But nonetheless this period has actually thought many of its users and other centralized services users the essence of using a custodial wallet and not just any but those that allow bumping transaction and fee customization.
This is also my impression that Cashapp somehow does use deliberately too low transaction fees for withdrawals or whatever their customers initiate. Is this a niche app for masochists? What kind of a business model is this to punish customers? Enough ranting, users of Cashapp who suffered from too low transactions fees should do the logical step forward: stop using such an app.

Op's tx has already been confirmed. However, all the cases i have followed about cashapp reversing people's deposit and making the tx with a low fee, cashapp support have been reluctant to help the customers, they also do not adjust or accelerate fees for their customers. If you are in that situation, you have to either use ViaBTC's free accelerator or any paid accelerator before your tx can be confirmed.
