<p>I sent a Bitcoin transaction a few days ago and it still doesn't have any confirmations.
I actually have a ASIC miner. 
Is it possible to confirm a specific transaction, in this case mine, with my miner?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

Is it possible to confirm a specific transaction, in this case mine, with my miner?

Thanks
