Hello, SInce last night Iv’e tried to withdraw my btc from my counterwallet adress 13NvMqyWLZmDHrTz5upEs2a6VnnnZZ4FyW to this adress 192w7vtkQqumSWK8hijdWjzMeySQL7eyFx. The amount was around 0.046 BTC. I have been waiting for almost a day now and it is still pending. I remember when sending the BTC, i reduced the mining fee, could this be the problem ? if so, how can i cancel my transaction ? ---

Yes you set an ultra low fee: 0.00000415 BTC. So it may take more than one day to get through. Check the fee=time at [https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/](https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/) If it is totally stuck then it will timeout after 5 days. It may be possible to supersede the transaction with another one with higher fees. But that cannot be done in counterwallet but needs some console commands which me don’t know. ---

If the timeout occurs then the transaction is cancelled and the BTC is back in your counterwallet. ---

i’m not really an expert or anything but i’ve been trying to send my .09 btc over to gdax for about a week now. first i tried a small fee (~$5) and that failed after a couple days then i tried a higher one (~$15) and that failed too… i looked at the website foldinger recommended and if i understand corrrectly i basically have to pay $1,000 in fees to send my .09 btc over? is that right? ---

Currently fastest transaction costs fee 155,940 satoshis = 0.00156 btc = 25 dollar But lowest fees are on weekends! And you can use a transaction accelerator. ---
