<p>I sent the following transaction a few hours ago with Bitcoin-QT:
<a href="https://blockchain.info/tx/b5682b48484a8752be62c6b4036eaf8a8f005d9ea75cbff434476b7506a9e3a2" rel="nofollow">https://blockchain.info/tx/b5682b48484a8752be62c6b4036eaf8a8f005d9ea75cbff434476b7506a9e3a2</a></p>

<p>And the transaction still has not been confirmed. I attached 0.0001 BTC transaction fee.</p>

<p>Did I lose the money? Can I do something to speed up the confirmation of the transaction?</p>

looks to me like it says your transaction will take up to 26 hours and that your transaction fee was low

@MarkS. Is it possible to double spend it with an added fee? I'm using bitcoin-qt on mac.

I don't think any standard wallet will let you double-spend... you would have to hack the transaction yourself.  And even then it probably wouldn't work unless you mined the block yourself.

# Bitcoin transaction with 0.0001 BTC fee not getting confirmed?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-11-19)

I sent the following transaction a few hours ago with Bitcoin-QT:
<https://blockchain.info/tx/b5682b48484a8752be62c6b4036eaf8a8f005d9ea75cbff434476b7506a9e3a2>

And the transaction still has not been confirmed. I attached 0.0001 BTC transaction fee.

Did I lose the money? Can I do something to speed up the confirmation of the transaction?
