every time I watch Andreas, I always admire him for the knowledge and clarity he posses ❤️
The best explanation i have heard about this issue
I'll always be grateful for your help and the effort you put in helping to make my withdrawals successfully. DQHACK.
Thanks again for another great explanation!
Thank you. It was really informative 👏
I absolutely subscribed to your channel and you put it I such away I can understand and appreciate. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for this info. Been 6 days feel a little better
Thanks man, I've been searching for a clear explanation of this for 6 days now, since I made a bone head, low fee xfer. I have a lot more peace about the whole situation now.
What happened to you bro maybe We have the same problem
Just waited it out and it fixed itself
I withdrew money from my wallet to an adress but the person told me he didn't receive the money and kraken didn't confirm me that my money arrive the message it sent me was that it's Still processing but i don't see money in my wallet anymore,
@@docthunder1413 how many days did it take bro
@@user-bc2uh8ym3o I’m sorry, I don’t recall the specifics, it was 2 years ago and I haven’t been very active in crypto recently.
Now thats a second video of yours that I watch and Iwould say you rock.Very easy explained, uderstandable. Great gob
Glad it was helpful!
You are the man, thank you very much!
this is very nice to know. It's basic essential info, yet i'm totanly ignorant of this til now.
This guy is the greatest! In an ocean of missinformation, Andreas is a beacon. Thank you!
Thank you. A LOT!
that was such a great explanation. I remember the first time I had this happen when the coin first went bonkers in 2017 and I could see it but couldn’t understand how much to up the fee to move it. At one point the fees were getting way high in the frenzy.
@@yanetgarcia4562 ?
Nope, that's an imposter account.
Excellent advice
Thanks for the clear explanation. I was panicking.
Me too please what happened to you sir
@@user-bc2uh8ym3o nothing really, just a slower than I was accustomed to transaction from exchange to cold wallet. Took a couple of days to confirm. I’d never had a transaction take more than an hour or so to show up so I was convinced that I had done something wrong and lost bitcoin
This was very helpful. I am new to Bitcoin and this was my second transaction at the low rate but this is my first time being "stuck" for about 9 days now. It is exhausting. But you put me in great ease. Thank you.
Can you walk me thru please my btc has been stucked since 14 days
You will have to stick it out. Mine took 3 months. So frustrating.
@@acgmathtutoringstick it out how?
@@user-ev8ik8ov6x Sit and wait. I was extremely stressful. Plus I continued to add in money to show that I was serious. It still took 3 months. You are putting everything in the hands of the miners. SMH
@@acgmathtutoring3 months Thata crazy 🤦🏻♂️
The Btc Master Educator
That was good information
Even if the transaction is dropped from mempools, a malicious node/miner could re-broadcast and confirm that transaction AT ANY POINT in the future. This user *must* move those coins to ensure that they are safe. You should mention that in your video.
oh man, this is needed. i'm going to be sharing the shit out of this. thanks to you sir.
Thanks so much.
Last sentence was glorious. "1st transaction you need to make is to a better wallet"
are u get your bitcoin wallet or still is pending???
Thank you ❤
Thanks for your videos... Recent such videos, actually made me put a transaction to test with the lowest fee via exodus wallet :P LOL - 17+ days and unconfirmed... lets see how many more days to go...
Is it confirned yet ? I'm stuck with 0.70$ as fee
great video
"Get a better wallet" It's my Trezor that's done this... lol.
Well Trezor as a hardware just basically manages your keys and sign transactions. You are not forced to use Trezor Suite or Trezor website wallet which sure both are very limited. So in this case you can just connect your Trezor to let's say Wasabi wallet (not sure if this exact wallet support doublespending but you got a point) and just construct transaction there.
@@desther Thanks a lot for that response. I've just been concerned because I've seen or heard of malicious copies of these wallets that have siphoned everything from people. Is there any risk of that with Electrum or what have you?
I love my Trezor, except this wallet on its own will leave you in suspended animation if you are stuck in the mempool.
I tried to speed up a Trezor transaction but it appeared this feature is not available through the Trezor. In any event, the transaction in question did clear after 2-and-a-half days on its own. I did put in for a low fee on it, but not a crazy low fee. Several other transactions at lower fees had cleared pretty quickly. I got unlucky; the btc network remained continously busy for several days after I entered the transaction.
@@sunchips5 I think Trezor have _just_ implemented the RBF.
Trezor now supports Replace By Fee since the last upgrade.
Thanks.
Similar thing happened to me on my crypto wallet. I simply moved to a different wallet and my money was there
If Bitcoin were to have a ceo or chairman, it would be this guy
Andreas,
As I consider not your keys not your coins, what do you think bout providing defi with liquidity for interest?
Thx!!
Unrelated, and probably silly, question; I imported my public key into electrum (from a hardware wallet) as a watch-only wallet.
I noticed there are multiple bitcoin addresses (I'm guessing for privacy reasons; harder to track transactions, wallet size, etc). Generally a new one gets used after each transaction. If I wanted to use one of those addresses for something like a "Tip Button", would it work? Can those addresses be reused?
Yes, it's best to use a fresh address for every payment received. If you do not, then anyone who knows your address can see all of the payments you are receiving.
If you imported an xpub into electrum (sounds like it) then yes, all of those addresses should be part of your HD wallet. You can receive payments on any of and all of them.
Just be careful not to leave large gaps between the last used address and new the used addresses. If it's less than 10 you should have no problem.
Hands off antooo
Thanks!!! Now I noticed that to get my transaction of 50 usd in btc done I have to spend most part of it in fee.
The most frustrating part is that it is very arbitrary and the transactions should have to go in FIFO
Love you man. Where can I buy that mug “not your key etc...). Henry from Australia

Did my first transaction from ethereum to coinbase and it’s been 3 days and I’ve not received anything. What should I do??
There are lots of Services to accelerate transactions around
This is a great and straightforward video.
14 days to get your transaction kicked back to you (Although this feels like eternity to be honest)
So my my unconfirmed transaction will come back to me after 14 days
@@drentertainments3910 did they come back to u in 14 days?
And if it has confirmed and the receiver says he hasn’t received it?
Spence101g legit
Went to move $100 of a coin to my hardware wallet, suggested fee was over $200. Heard about manually changing max fee, so I tried it. It's been over 12 hours of pending status. Now, I'm just trying to see if I lost the $100. Need more regulation before crypto will ever replace fiat currency.
So wich one is a good wallet?
Please help I have 3.2 bitcoin in blockchain my Q is why do I have to pay 500£ to see some of my monies in the chain move into my bank
Please talk about what can be done if the usb cable for trezor one is lost. Can the usb cable from the different colors are the same if a different color is bought?
I'm not super familiar with Trezor, but you should be able to use another Micro-USB data cable that matches. Just make sure it is a data cable and not a "power only" cable for phone charging.
@@chaintuts thanks so much. Do you have examples of data cables?
try any cable that has the same plug on it and it will work. Go to your local cell phone shop

@3:37 When he says "kicked out of the blockchain" he means "kicked out of the mempool".
And when it kicks it out do you get back your money?
@@user-bc2uh8ym3o did you get yours back?
when you make a bitcoin transaction, it seems to me that the value of your bitcoin at the point of purchase is not locked in. so while i am waiting for the time to reach the recipients address it is stil liable to currency fluctuation
Trezor offers the lowest fee, promises 1 day, but then refuses to increase the fee. I was told it's the best wallet existing
Yeah screw exodus. Blue wallet at elast allows me to bump it.
This vod cleared a lot focusion. Ill just have to check back in 12ish days, I guess. (Side not: excellent logo, takes away any roast power ppl have. Hilarious 😂)
I'll always be grateful for your help and the effort you put in helping to make my withdrawals successfully. DQHACK.
So eventually if the fees are too low, the transaction will be dropped and the btc will “bounce” back to the original address?
I'll always be grateful for your help and the effort you put in helping to make my withdrawals successfully. DQHACK.
Bitcoin is like screw time value of money it’s so frustrating you should be placed in line regardless of fee and miners should have to confirm the next in line not arbitrary picking high fees.
Exactly how it should be they make it complicated smh my btc been stuck for 14 days cause of this reason
It should be first in first out 🤦🏻♂️
Is there a reason why bitcoin core client can't work like a bittorrent client? It can act as a native wallet, download only a small portion of the blockchain, contribute only a small portion of the hashing power. Now that it's mainstream, there would be billions of clients online and that would work right?
so if there is a sophisticated wallet, why would anyone use anything else? what is the wallet that ALL people should use, or is this just another complicated issue with something that is supposed to be more sophisticated amd simple?
Does this means "exodus " wallet is bad xd ? Cuz i tried sent a transation with a ridiculous low few just for test and it got stuck . I tried send a new transation with more funds and with a normall fee this time and both are now stucked ahahah ( both transations had the same adress as receiver)
If you didn't get your money already , let me know to help you .
This was super applicable and useful to know during 600 sat/vB (May 2023). Thanks!
With a Replace by Fee issue.... Will the coins then go back into the first wallet that you sent from?
No, replace by fee gets them to the destination faster. You may be able to double spend the coins and send them back to yourself though. Some wallets have a cancel feature.
How about pushTx AA?
I have been waiting for half a year for the transaction to be completed on the Blockchain wallet😢

I really want to see you debate Mike Green on Real Vision regarding Bitcoin. I think it would be an incredible conversation. Anyway we can get this to happen?
Who is Mike Green and what would Andreas "debate" him about? That is, what things do you think they disagree on?
@@JivanPal Mike Green is a quant for Logica Capital and has some damming criticisms about Bitcoin. Mainly how it works and it's flaws (His words not mine) use cases, the geopolitical risks it poses and how he thinks it's a negative to society. He's an incredible thinker in the finance space and he recently had a debate with Pomp about Bitcoin but I think Andreas would've been a much better guest for the show.
14 days? Then why a transaction I did from a legacy wallet using a trezor in 2018 when. Bitcoin was around 16k bounced after 3 days? Did the wallet caused the transaction to expire before the 14 days? That happened even though the transaction fee was about $1 dollar
Wallets can let you re-spend Bitcoin in an _unconfirmed_ transaction after waiting X number of blocks. Wallet developers simply decide what X should be.
Happen happen, happen
Some example of better wallets plz,
Blockstream Green and BlueWallet
@@JivanPal thanks
I transfer my bitcoin with a to High fee 12 dollar with 6 dollar fee and its pending for 11 hours now wtf
What happens if I unistalled the wallet (lost private keys), and the low fee transaction is finally kicked out of mempools?
Your coins will be there when you recover your wallet. Not a big deal.
If you lost the private key to the wallet that sent the transaction you should consider a “child pays for payment” is the recipient wallet. You’ll pay a miner fee but you won’t have it reverted back to the sender wallet.
Hi aantonop I send some dogecoin to a merchant but he says he didn't receive yet and the transaction is still in the dogecoin chain and it is still unspent

"better wallet" "better wallet" names bro names
@aantonop The only issue is if everyone moves to a better wallet and pays increased fees, everyone will end up paying more but the number of transactions processed by the bitcoin network will remain the same. The problem is there are too many transactions. Paying a higher fee just passes your problem on to another user/transaction as the network does not increase its tx processing capabilities based on the fees paid. The only real solution is to create smaller more efficient transactions using segwit or any new technologies that allow transaction size to be decreased.
I sent my first transaction with a 0.28 fee, never again! It's been two weeks, waiting for coins to come back...
I did the same.. it s now 5 days ... Have u received the coins back to your wallet ?
I did .. I wanted to ease my fear of not getting my coins back
Is this valid for ether, too ?
the ethereum network cancels the transaction after an hour or so, but charges a fee
@@mulimotola44, Ethereum is a smart contract platform, so that behaviour is completely justified; it disincentivises people from trying to execute DDOS attacks on the network.
I've had a BTC transaction stuck for now 21 days, the idea that it is kicked out after 7 or 14 days isn't true. Can't do shit with it because of a crappy Android wallet I used in 2014.

hi, is this principle the same even if you accidentally send bitcoin to the wrong wallet (e.g. bitcoin cash)?
the principle of sending bitcoin to a bitcoin cash address is called idiocy
@@jdr297 thank you but you have not answered my question.
@@Dajlec AFAIK you effectively sent that to a null/unowned address.
@@Dajlec, you should not be able to send BTC to a BCH address; the address formats are (nowadays) incompatible. Modern BTC addresses begin with "bc1", and modern BCH addresses begin with "q". The issue you describe can only happen if you're sending funds to a legacy style address, which begins with "1". Is this the case for you?
@@JivanPal sure, I understand...but just asking from the technological point of view. no, that is not the case with me, just asking out of curiosity:)
