    Can you send Bitcoin before the previous BTC Receive Transaction confirms?

    My Blockchain.info BTC balance was zero. I received some BTC yesterday and was surprised that I was able to immediately send BTC before the receive transaction had any confirmations. But it is 24 hours later and the neither the BTC receive or BTC send transaction have any confirmations and the sportsbook has not credited my deposit. I received another BTC transaction that confirmed quickly after this so I an not sure why the previous BTC transaction has not confirmed or why my send transaction has not confirmed.

    Is there anything I can do to get the BTC send deposit to the sportsbook. Is there any way to cancel the send transaction so I can resend with higher fees?

    Yes they can be sent even though not confirmed..The one you received is holding u up...once that confirms the sent one will almost instant confirm too as long as feees at appropriate....one trick is to send unconfirmed btc with a very high fee and they both confirm quicker

    If you use the Electrum wallet they have a function called Replace By Fee that will let you increase the fee if no miner has picked it up.

    I've had this work very well in my favor. Had a pending transaction with Nitrogen that was taking days to confirm. Sent a secondary payment with a higher fee several days later and they both confirmed within 30 minutes. Nice way to clear the log jam.

    I don’t think you can cancel or increase your fee on blockchain.

    still no confirmations on either transaction. I don't see anywhere where i can increase the fee on blockchain.info and it sounds like there is not an option to cancel the send transaction and do another send transaction. I was trying to send money to sportsbetting.ag since they offered me a 50% bonus that expires tomorrow night so I how the transaction goes through within 24 hours or I hope sportsbetting.ag will honor the bonus since I sent the money during the time of the promo.
