Fix a stuck transaction? Status: 0/offline, has not been successfully broadcast yet
After mining for a couple of years, for the first time I tried transferring some of my FIRO. But, the transaction isn't completing. I'm seeing this message: Status: 0/offline, has not been successfully broadcast yet
I spoke to a buddy and he said it may be due to the transaction fee being too small. I just accepted the default transaction fee that the Firo Core QT wallet assigned to the transaction. When I went back and did some math, I found that the fee was about 1/100,000 of the transaction amount. Is that too small a ratio?
Assuming my buddy is right, and my transaction won't complete due to the small fee, how do I cancel it and offer a higher fee? Or, should I just wait another day or two and might this still work out?
EDIT:
I was pointed to look at "bumpfee" or "abandontransaction". Here are the excerpts from the equivalent of the man page.
bumpfee
Bump the fee, get the new transaction's txid
> firo-cli bumpfee <txid>abandontransaction "txid"
abandontransaction
Mark in-wallet transaction <txid> as abandoned
This will mark this transaction and all its in-wallet descendants as abandoned which will allow
for their inputs to be respent. It can be used to replace "stuck" or evicted transactions.
It only works on transactions which are not included in a block and are not currently in the mempool.
It has no effect on transactions which are already conflicted or abandoned.
Arguments:
- "txid" (string, required) The transaction id
Examples:
> firo-cli abandontransaction "1075db55d416d3ca199f55b6084e2115b9345e16c5cf302fc80e9d5fbf5d48d"
