I think I just sent some Bitcoin to the wrong address. it has not confirmed yet. is there a way I can replace the transaction with one with a higher fee to get it to go through quicker And save my mon...
It's 4h later, so the TX surely confirmed already but still ...
When blocks are empty as they are these days, there is little hope to get support faster than the transaction will confirm. If your wallet doesn't support RBF you are more likely to lose all the rest than to undo that one transaction, given your average time window is just 10min.
On the other hand, most "wrong addresses" tend to be addresses of people you sent to before, so you know who wrongly got your funds and you can ask politely to send the funds back. I did in the past and others sent funds back I had sent them accidentally as most people are not psychopaths and even psychopaths tend to collaborate if they figure the cost of not doing so might be high.
