- Dec 27, 2021 · 3 years agoUnfortunately, once a bitcoin transaction is broadcasted to the network, it cannot be canceled. However, if your transaction has 1 or fewer confirmations, there is a chance that it will be dropped by the network and the bitcoins will be returned to your wallet. It may take some time for the transaction to be dropped, so it's best to wait and monitor the situation. If the transaction is not dropped within a reasonable time, you can try contacting the recipient and ask for their cooperation in returning the bitcoins.
- Dec 27, 2021 · 3 years agoI'm sorry to hear that you're facing this issue. Cancelling a bitcoin transaction with 1 or fewer confirmations is not possible. Once a transaction is broadcasted, it becomes a part of the blockchain and cannot be reversed. However, if the transaction is not confirmed by any miners, there is a chance that it will be dropped by the network. In this case, the bitcoins will be returned to your wallet. It's important to note that this process may take some time, so it's best to be patient and wait for the transaction to be dropped.
