I made a Bitcoin transaction but it's still unconfirmed. I'm wondering if there's a way to cancel it since I accidentally sent it to the wrong address.
Each of these methods has its own benefits and drawbacks, and the choice of which to use will depend on the specific circumstances of your transaction.

One method is Replace-by-Fee (RBF), which allows you to replace the unconfirmed transaction with a new one that has a higher fee.

Another method is Child-Pays-for-Parent (CPFP), where you can create a new transaction that pays a higher combined fee to speed up the confirmation of the original transaction.

Transaction accelerators are also an option, which prioritize your transaction over others to increase its chances of being confirmed.
