<p>I'm using MultiBit version 0.5.16 (is this classic?)
I am trying to get my bitcoins from Multibit to Electrum, but my transaction doesnt get confirmed. The current transaction is 1mBTC to test it first, so it's not a huge deal if I lose this 1mBTC.
I saw here something similar: <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/43549/transactions-seen-by-peers-but-not-confirming?newreg=76a48d5c92e044e197c0fa902c848c92">Transactions seen by peers, but not confirming</a>
The answer there is that the version is too old.</p>

<p>As MultiBit is no longer supported, is it even possible to update safely, to make sure my transaction will be confirmed?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,</p>

Move your private keys to Electrum. I had this issue with Multibit HD since last summer. I sent my bitcoin from Hive (which had just become unsupported) to multibit hd. For over a year the transaction showed up on multibit as unconfirmed. The steps I took were:

1. Recover the wallet words from the multibit hd wallet file
2. Use a tool online that converted the multibit wallet words to private keys
3. Added the private keys to Electrum wallet

As soon as I created the electrum wallet with the private keys it showed up as confirmed in electrum. I would completely move to another wallet altogether as multibit is deprecated, and I’ve seen this unconfirmed bug happen quite often, don’t use multibit anymore.
