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 ?

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).

  • 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 May 26 '16 at 10:04
  • 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 May 26 '16 at 10:26

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.
