### How can I speed up/bump an unconfirmed transaction?

Bumping an unconfirmed transaction currently has to be done manually and can only be done by using CPFP.
This means that you need 1 or more outputs of the transaction to be able to bump it.

Bumping can be done with the following steps:

- Figure out which unconfirmed output(s) to use to create the child transaction
- Freeze all other coins in that jar
- Send a (non-collaborative) transaction from that jar with a high(er) fee rate

Which fee rate to use to get confirmed in the desired timeframe has to be calculated manually.

Be aware of the privacy and/or additional cost trade-offs.
