  To cancel a pending bitcoin transaction on the blockchain, you need to follow these steps: 1. First, you need to locate the transaction ID (TXID) of the pending transaction. This can usually be found in your wallet or transaction history. 2. Once you have the TXID, you can use a blockchain explorer like Blockchair or Blockchain.com to search for the transaction on the blockchain. 3. Once you have located the transaction, check its status. If it is still pending and has not been confirmed by the network, you can proceed with the cancellation process. 4. To cancel the transaction, you will need to create a new transaction with the same inputs as the original transaction but with a higher transaction fee. This will incentivize miners to prioritize your new transaction over the pending one. 5. Broadcast the new transaction to the network using your wallet software or online wallet. 6. Wait for the new transaction to be confirmed by the network. Once it is confirmed, the pending transaction will be effectively canceled.
