Accidentally sent a low fee on electrum - any way of raising it?

accidentally set the fee to 1mbtc/kb (usually set it to max). Any way of raising the fee after the fact/making it faster? I've put it through txaccelerator but don't know if it'll work with such a low fee.

Goddamn, I see way too many of these "Set too low of a fee, what can I do now?" posts in here. We really need to sticky something to address this, it's getting annoying as hell.

Just wait it out. If it doesn't confirm, it'll eventually be dropped from the mempool and you should be able to re-spend it

no need, try accelerating the transaction with viabtc.com

"Child pays for parent". I found that on a thread here and i think it worked.

Basically you just issue a new transaction from your wallet to an adress of yours on that same wallet with a higher fee (you can transfer 0 btc and yet put a higher fee).

I tried this once and it worked (or at least thats what it semeed). I couldn't find any more information about it so take it with a pinch of salt.
