<p>I have a strange situation. I bought some bitcoins with fiat currency and the seller (trading site) have sent my bitcoins to my private wallet. But the problem is that the transaction has a too low fee (143 sat / byte) to be mined.

Unfortunately there's no way to know which mining pool will get to add the next block.

You should create a child-pays-for-parent transaction. Which wallet are you using?

I am using Bitcoin Core but I don't know which wallet does the sender is using. My purpose is to receive a transaction from the sender.

Is it possible to pay externally for unconfirmed transaction?
