<p>A transaction from Electrum is still showing <code>unconfirmed parent</code> even though the previous transaction in the chain has completed. Electrum has shown this for 24 hours now. I realize that my fee is quite small but should it still say unconfirmed parent after so long? </p>

@sr_gi: The asker states that the previous transaction is completed, but Electrum still thinks it isn't. It seems to me that it's not a duplicate of the linked question.

Megarano: I assume that there is _only one_ previous transaction? There could be more than one if you're spending more than one input. If you'd be willing to share the transaction id, we could get a better understanding.

# Electrum transaction still says unconfirmed parent

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-03-01)

A transaction from Electrum is still showing `unconfirmed parent` even though the previous transaction in the chain has completed. Electrum has shown this for 24 hours now. I realize that my fee is quite small but should it still say unconfirmed parent after so long?
