As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I'm curious about how one would resolve an unconfirmed Bitcoin transaction. Could you elaborate on the possible steps one could take to troubleshoot this issue? I've heard about the transaction fee playing a role, but are there any other factors that might affect the confirmation time? Furthermore, what are some best practices to avoid such issues in the future, such as choosing the right fee level or ensuring a stable network connection? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

This incentivizes miners to prioritize the new transaction, effectively cancelling the original unconfirmed one.

To address this, two primary methods exist: utilizing the "replace-by-fee" or RBF protocol, and executing a "higher fee double-spend transaction."

The RBF protocol allows the sender to replace an unconfirmed transaction with a new one, provided the new transaction offers a higher fee.

Alternatively, a sender can attempt a higher fee double-spend transaction, where they create a new transaction with the same inputs but a higher fee.
