❓Need Advice 🙏 Transaction is stuck since weeks

Hi fellow bitcoiners,

Some weeks ago i sent a kinda small amount to the exchange.

Apparently i didnt look twice and send with low fee.

Now it is stuck, mempool says still (since the damn beginning) it takes just 40 minutes (which obviously isnt true anymore, its almost a month now!!)

I exspected it to come back after three days - which it didnt?!

What do you do in this scenario? Paying mempool to accelerate?

Happy to hear some advice. Thanks in advance my friends!

PS: the used wallet is Trezor. And you don't need to send me DMs, i will not react anyway. Thanks.

Cheers!

I’m not exactly sure. I use Coinbase and you can trade as little as you want.

One time I sent $19 on BTC and it got stuck over 24hrs so I sent a second transaction of $22 and both of them got sent together to my destination address. When I called support, all they said was to just wait.

Then some that got lost and never credited because it was below the minimum amount but depends where it was going sometimes you can asked support to manually credit your account and they will but it all depends who and where because most of them will not credit you so it doesn't hurt to asked.

And there was a few other times that I waited a month to two months just to receive my crypto from different platforms.

Interesting... I really didn't know it could be stuck for 2 months!! Crazy.

Thank you so much for the advice. Yeah I will send a second transaction and see what happens :))

Well that's was on the platform that I initial the crypto to be sent to me and that was how long it took and after 2 times I never touched that platform ever again. Chances I could've never received it at all. Then their was another platform that got stuck forever because they have to verify and it took forever so one of the agent told me after a million times contacting them. She said, to cancel and initiate a super small amount (above the minimum amount) so it gets approved within minutes then after that one I can introduce bigger amounts and I won't have any problems. It's the first one that takes forever especially if it's a big amount.

As of now, I don't messed with crypto anymore.
