<p>No, you can only confirm a transaction if you found a new block, but this is very unlikely to happen when solo mining.</p>

<p>The answer is yes but very unlikely, when miner solves the block, the miner chooses what transaction to include, by miner means solo mine or owns a pool with a very high share of hashrate</p>

<p>So i found here: 
What can I do to make my stuck transaction confirm?
one of the options was:
Ask a miner for help
Some mining pools and miners offer services to allow you to prioritize your transaction in their mempool so that it is chosen sooner for inclusion in a block. One such service is <a href="https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/</a>. Note that ViaBTC does have a limit the accelerator to 100 transactions every hour and requires that it pays a minimum fee rate of 10 satoshis/byte, so their accelerator may not necessarily work. Another such service is <a href="https://pushtx.btc.com/#/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pushtx.btc.com/#/</a>. Not that BTC.com does require another form of payment in order to "accelerate" your transaction.</p>

<p>Also note that if you attempt a Replace-By-Fee transaction, both the original transaction and the RBF transaction will be considered double spends. Miners will likely not help with any transactions marked as double spends.</p>

<p>So i was curious if i had my own bitcoin mining device node if i could start mining that to push it through like other mines do. I do not care about the reward of mining it just that my confirmation speeds up.</p>

<p>I see these other people doing it so i know there is a way.</p>

As a miner can i mine my own transaction to speed up the confirmation?
