2 months ago I withdrew SATs from the Umbrel Bitcoin Wallet.  
The transaction appears and disappears in mempool.  
I know that I put a small fee.  
Transaction stuck for 2 months how to fix the situation?

After sshing into your node, try with this command instead. Hopefully that helps!

> sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/app compose bitcoin exec bitcoind bitcoin-cli bumpfee

Check the transaction at [mempool](https://mempool.space/).

 ![Képernyőkép – 2023-08-21 15-20-16](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/8/8f9d43b5f481fcce826e126964b488dc04121691.png)

If you can see RBF near “Features”, you can bump the fee by ssh-ing into your node using a command like this:

```auto
~/umbrel/scripts/app compose lightning exec lnd lncli wallet bumpfee 8ae8ae07cf8e38b53a01e93b05210b493b6c84547c651a69857651dd8db5514a:0 --sat_per_vbyte 10

```

You can turn on RBF under the advanced settings of Bitcoin Node app (Replace-By-Fee (RBF) for All Transactions).

If RBF was not enabled when the tx has been initiated, all you can do is waiting.

Please note if a lightning channel opening transaction takes longer then 2 weeks, then that channel will never be broadcasted, and you will have to force close it (after it finally gets confirmed) in order to get your sats back.

I assume for the lncli attempt you used the actual tx\_id and not ‘0’?

</div>

I tried  
just tx\_id, then tx\_id:0, tx\_id:1

Without txid:index  
gives me error: [lncli] outpoint should be of the form txid:index

You’ll need to use the tx\_id that was linked when you were looking at mempool.space

Yes you need to use that transaction ID in the script below instead of 0 or 1

> ~/umbrel/scripts/app compose lightning exec lnd lncli wallet bumpfee \<tx\_id\>:0 --sat\_per\_vbyte 10
