<p>I made a transaction a few days ago, but the fee was to low so it doesn't get confirmed. So I want to give the transaction a higher fee. But when I resend the transaction I get this error:</p>

<p><code>258: txn-mempool-conflict</code></p>

<p>I restarted my server.
I tried leaving the output the same but added an input.
I tried changing the output to an higher fee and left the input the same.
I tried the <code>abandontransaction</code> command but that returns <code>Transaction not eligible for abandonment</code>.
But the error is still there. How can I resend my transaction so it will get confirmed?</p>

Are you using Bitcoin Core? Did you try using `-zapwallettxes` or `-abandontransaction`? Have you seen [Why is my transaction not getting confirmed and what can I do about it?](http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/9046/5406)

-zapwallettxes doesn't work because I run bitcoind in prune. And -abandontransaction returns the same error.

`abandontransaction` wouldn't work, because the offending transaction is also in your memory pool.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-03-09)

I made a transaction a few days ago, but the fee was to low so it doesn't get confirmed. So I want to give the transaction a higher fee. But when I resend the transaction I get this error:

`258: txn-mempool-conflict`

I restarted my server.
I tried leaving the output the same but added an input.
I tried changing the output to an higher fee and left the input the same.
I tried the `abandontransaction` command but that returns `Transaction not eligible for abandonment`.
But the error is still there. How can I resend my transaction so it will get confirmed?
