My Bitcoin transaction is stuck in the mempool for two weeks, any help?

Hey, I'm in a bit of a situation. My transaction ID is 27c69fe601bbdd09ead443496f0ae7364b50834312c57e4b1d36d288346d55da. It's for $180. If someone can help me get this sorted soon, I'll send you $18 as a thank you, promise. I've been waiting way too long for this.

Where does the receiving address belong to? Does it belong to a custodial service like a centralized exchange or a non-custodial wallet? If you have control over the receiving address (means that you have its private key), you can do CPFP. CPFP (child pay for parent) means that you spend the unconfirmed output in a transaction with high transaction fee, so that a miner include both transactions in the same block. If you have full control over the receiving address, but your wallet doesn't allow you to spend unconfirmed outputs, you should import your private key (or your seed phrase) in a wallet allowing you to do so.

Sadly with just 9sat/vbyte you can’t get your transaction processed and even looking a the mempool it is like the Wallet used to make this transaction wasn’t RBF enabled and doesn’t support bumping of the transaction. Can you import the seed of the recipient address into maybe electrum wallet if you’re using desktop or BlueWallet for mobile device to probably use the CPFP method. You can somehow try to accelerate your transaction using viabtc accelerator, but you might have to pay (which I don’t know the amount) because your transaction is larger to been accelerated using the free service.

Next time check https://mempool.space/ before making a transactions, so you can attach a suitable fee to your transaction for it to be confirmed fast. Low priority fees in the mempool at this moment is 13 sat/vbyte and your tx fee rate is 9 sat/vbye, that is very low and for now your tx wouldn't be 'attractive' to miners, unless fees drop. Your tx isn't also flagged by RBF, so you cannot bump the fee, what wallet did you use in making this transaction? Your options now is to either wait or do CPFP if the situation is in your favor.

That is not quite right, thereis still the option of FullRBF, but yes that depends of the software used to do the transacction. Bitcoin Core 24.0 Will Enable Full-RBF — The End Of Unconfirmed Transactions? Example:

I have never been in a situation where my transaction takes that long, but I think you can just wait it out until your transaction is expunged from the mempool. Different nodes have custom times set to expunge the transaction from the mempool, but the default in most nodes is usually roughly 14 days

https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator   would do it if you had paid 11 sats a  byte you paid 9 sats a byte. I entered it 2 times and it said something like "no go bro too small a fee" below tracks the pool https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,1w,fee we have been steady need 12-14 sats a byte track it and see if it goes to 9 sats a byte which is what you paid. here is your transaction good luck maybe this weekend https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/27c69fe601bbdd09ead443496f0ae7364b50834312c57e4b1d36d288346d55da One last hint if you always pay 12 sats a byte you can always use the free accelerator

The wallet is a cash app I need help getting it from pending in cash app to confirmed Thanks for all the feed back !!!!! Much appreciated im rookie when it comes to this situation

It wouldn't. You can't use ViaBTC free accelerator if your transaction size is greater than 500 bytes. OP's transaction size is 630 bytes. So forget about CPFP. Since Cashapp is a custodial service and you have no control over the private key of the receiving address, there is no way to do CPFP. Where did you send the fund from? If you have the private key of the sending addresses, you can replace the transaction with a new one paying higher fee. Of course, as your transaction has not been flagged as RBF, that wouldn't be easy.

There's a good chance that the transaction will fall out of the mempool in 2-3 days, seeing as how its been 12 days already, granted that the Cash App does not rebroadcast the transaction. Most nodes have a default setting to keep transactions alive in the mempool for 14 days. After this happens, you can resend the transaction, and be sure to choose a higher fee (if possible, have no idea because I've never used Cash App). This is my favorite reference for checking how busy the mempool currently is: https://mempool.observer/ So right now 13 sat/byte gets you in the next block. For your tx that would be 0.00000013 x 630 = 0.0000819 BTC.

Nope, it has to be ≤0.5 KB for that to work and OP's transaction is 630 bytes. Nope again: ViaBTC counts bytes instead of vbytes, so if you use Segwit inputs, 12 sat/vbyte will still be less than the minimum of 10 sat/byte. If someone tells you they've "accelerated" your transaction, they're lying.

Did you contact Cash app support? A Bitcoin unconfirmed transaction that has taken 2 weeks time can be canceled if your wallet allows it. I am not sure whether it is possible on the wallet or if you need to contact support. If you are unaware how to contact them follow this page. If they cannot help you then you need to wait for the transaction to fall off from the Bitcoin blockchain into your wallet. There is no specific timeline for it to happen.

Cashapp is the receiver, not the sender. Cancelation (which actually means replacing the transaction with a new one paying higher fee) must be done by the sender. The only thing Cashpp can do is CPFP, but they won't do that. And the 2 weeks period you are referring to is the default time that nodes drop the transactions if they stay unconfirmed. Unconfirmed transactions can be cancelled (replaced by a new one) by the sender at any time.

I just tried to see your transaction in the mempool and it is confirmed now. Just notifying you, but you must already know.

does anybody know what this guy did to get his transaction confirmed

It appears CashApp rebroadcasted it (not recommended at the moment -- you're better off waiting until the transaction falls out of the mempool, which takes about 2 weeks after the first broadcast). On Sept 24th, the mempool started clearing. By Sept 26, median tx fees were low enough for a miner to pick up his tx, which had a fee 9.1 sat/byte. If the transaction is not too large, you might try accelerating it here (ViaBTC will include it in their next mined block): https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator *yes I realize there's not just 1 mempool but I said that for the sake of simplifying the matter

my transaction/ Bitcoin reversal via cash app was November 27th  57295b06730415dfcf8935078e964a8495751044e134dacee3aca70a89afe0ac  That's the TXID

The fee rate used for this tranaction is very low and that's not even sufficient to be eligible to use ViaBTC free accelerator. What do you mean by reversal? Are you saying the transaction has been made by Cashapp? If you are the receiver and you have full control over the receiving address, the only thing you can do is to use CPFP method. CPFP means spending the unconfirmed coins in a new transaction with high fee, so that miners include both transactions in the same block. Edit: I just checked the transaction history of the receiving address and I doubt you have full control over that. Where does the receiving address belong to?

Sheesh. That's a really skimpy fee. Kind of negligent on their part. I'm curious: how much do they charge you for a withdrawal? There's not much you can do except complain to them that they sent your transaction with a fee that is about 1/5 of what it should have been on the date of the transaction.

Seriously the cash app platform have been too negligent on fees for bitcoin withdrawal, since the issue of this network congestion started I have read complaints of user’s transactions getting stuck due to extremely low fees. I even had to check and I saw that they three different bitcoin withdrawal fee charges depending on the block the user wants the transaction complete. The first two are calculated based on the congestion of mempool with charges of $3 for high priority and $2 for medium priority. The last they say is standard which is free and they give estimated time of 24 hours for confirmation. Maybe this is what most users use, but still it is a problem from the platform because they should have Atleast deactivated the last option for now. This is also a good to warn people on storing their bitcoin on centralized platforms like this that they don’t have control off
