Use Tokenly Pockets to automatically charge you the lowest transaction fees. But there is a price to be paid for paying the lowest price… Got it?
Your transaction is in danger of having to wait several hours or longer.
BUT! wait! You can have your cake, AND eat it, too! But like the story of Little Red Hen, it requires some work.
What you are going to want to do next is: there is a free service called a Bitcoin Transaction Accelerator. Every hour this major mining pool “ViaBTC” allows anyone to submit pending transaction IDs for inclusion in their next blockchain block. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
Your Transaction ID is 1.5 to 2 times as long as your Counterwallet’s Bitcoin address. To find your Transaction ID, you can
- use the Transaction History of your online Counterwallet or
- search a blockchain explorer for your wallet’s bitcoin address. Examples include https://counterpartychain.io/asset/COUNTERWALLET and https://chain.so
The catch is, I was told that the Accelerator only takes 100 submissions every hour. So if you try to submit your transaction ID at say 12:30, you are very likely going to be told to “try again later”. The secret is “AT THE VERY TOP OF THE HOUR” (shhhhhh…!!!) I have done this twice successfully (and tried many times unsuccessfully at the middle of the hour or later).
This way, you can submit a cheap 15-20 cent (presently) transaction from Tokenly instead of $1+, and have it semi-quickly get it confirmed (plan for 1 - 3 hours. This is better than 24+ hours).
Or… you could have your transaction confirmed within 30 minutes by using the online Counterwallet (instead of Tokenly) to issue your transaction, and just accepting it’s fee calculation.
