I think I just sent some Bitcoin to the wrong address. it has not confirmed yet. is there a way I can replace the transaction with one with a higher fee to get it to go through quicker And save my money??
Discussion
You can not replace the address. But you can speed up the transaction time .
fuck
win some, you lose some I guesss.
If it never confirms, do you really lose something ?🙂
unfortunately, it'll confirm pool has cleared a few times
Sorry for your loss 😕
Are you using Sparrow Wallet ?
You can RBF the fees to accelerate a transaction.
Is it fourteen days and the transaction will get canceled and the bitcoin returns to the sender wallet…
Not sure on this.
Read up on RBF
Hey nostr:nprofile1qqs99d9qw67th0wr5xh05de4s9k0wjvnkxudkgptq8yg83vtulad30gpz4mhxue69uhks6tnwshxummnw3ezumrpdejqzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7umhdpjhyefwvdhk6qgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcd5u7te If I created a transaction And it hasn't confirmed yet And then a second transaction I sent that also is not confirmed but includes the coins from the first transaction.... If I speed up The transaction on the first one, will the second one fail because it's a double spend? is that a way I can save it????
Which coordinator/wallet
Cake, unfortunately
Import seed into Sparrow Wallet
(BEWARE OF IMPERSONATORS)
Using a public Electrum server is mostly fine (privacyh
When that loads, find the unconfirmed transaction in the list
Right click
Replace by fee
Now you can change the entire transaction. Remove all outputs and paste your own receive address instead of the wrong address
set the fee to 10 sat/vB
Send
The wrong TX will get effectively cancelled due to you basically doing a double spend with higher fee
If I don't have time to set up Sparrow right now, If I replace the fee in the first transaction though, it will cancel the second transaction eventually because it will be a double spend? thank you, your help is appreciated
No you must also edit the transaction address
The first was sent to the correct address
sorry if I'm not being very clear, I'm a little bit panicked... but the first transaction was sent to the correct address. the second transaction included the coins from the first transaction but went to the wrong address... If I bump the fee on the first transaction that should cancel out the second....
will you look at the txids for me please? I can send a message....
I've downloaded sparrow, how long until transactions appear? Some, but not all my addresses show as well...
It can take a few minutes
Did you use any feature like Coinjon or sub accounts?
they loaded.
Unconfirmed Parent transaction doesn't show rbf fee change, is it because it was sending to a legacy address?
anyway to create a new transaction in sparrow and front run the transaction with incorrect info???
I send you a message request to take it sorta private
I was going to accelerate on mempool. space
Copy paste wrong address? How did you mix it up? So I don't make the same mistake?
Not easy in most wallets but you can double spend to another address at a higher rate if youre fast enough.
It's 4h later, so the TX surely confirmed already but still ...
When blocks are empty as they are these days, there is little hope to get support faster than the transaction will confirm. If your wallet doesn't support RBF you are more likely to lose all the rest than to undo that one transaction, given your average time window is just 10min.
On the other hand, most "wrong addresses" tend to be addresses of people you sent to before, so you know who wrongly got your funds and you can ask politely to send the funds back. I did in the past and others sent funds back I had sent them accidentally as most people are not psychopaths and even psychopaths tend to collaborate if they figure the cost of not doing so might be high.
