How to cancel an unconfirmed Bitcoin transaction.

in blockchain •  7 years ago 

When you are treating Bitcoin, you are likely to make a mistake that makes you want to cancel that transaction. Or as often, your transaction can be suspended for long hours or maybe days if the metal charges are not high enough for any Metal to confirm your transaction.

Unfortunately, the steps to cancel the transaction are more complex than simply pressing the "Cancel" button. In this brief guide, I will tell you how to cancel the Bitcoin transaction.

Has your transaction been confirmed?

The first step in canceling your petquin treatment is to check if they have received any assurances.

When you do a homeowner transaction, you must get the transaction ID, which is a series of numbers and letters that looks like this:

240615b6ab59a5adb19ba52cb969aeb16ff82d2082b7a72cb2912c5d38c297cf

Take the transaction ID and enter it in the cluster browser. On Blockchain.info

On the next page, you can see information about your transaction, including the number of confirmations you've received.

If the number of assertions is greater than 0, you will not be able to cancel the transaction. Proven transactions on Blockchain are permanent and irreversible. Just wait and your transaction will end soon.

If the transaction is not confirmed yet, it is still possible to cancel it.

How to cancel an unconfirmed Bitcoin transaction.

There are two main ways you can use to try to remove the unconfirmed Bitcoin treatment:

  1. Replacement of fees (RBF).

2 - double spending using higher fees.

Some portfolios support the RBF protocol, which allows you to replace your original transaction with a new one that includes higher transaction fees. This will result in processing and sending your transaction if it has been stuck for a long time. To use this feature, you must make the original transaction replaceable (usually through the opt-in check box in the RBF-enabled portfolios).

If you are unable to use the RBF method, you can still cancel your Bitcoin transaction using Method 2, double spending using a higher fee.

To do this, make a new transaction equal to the amount of the first transaction, send it to yourself. Make sure the transaction fee is much higher than the first transaction fee. If the transaction is rejected, you may need to use another wallet or a specialized program that allows double-transaction spending to be broadcast to the network.

If all goes well, the two metals will only process the new transaction, and the first transaction will be returned to your wallet.

However, most minerals and preservatives have protection from double-spending, so there are still possibilities that this method will not work.

Finally, I hope you enjoyed reading this article, and that one of these methods will benefit you.
