Topic: 4 Unconfirmed transactions ( more than 30 days now ) - Help needed :-[ (Read 362 times)

Since the address type is correct, i can only think of the options mentioned by HCP:
1) Multiple "accounts" used -> derivation path needs to be adjusted or 2) BIP39 passphrase has been used.

Another option might be that you imported the wrong mnemonic code.
How sure are you that this mnemonic codes belongs to the hardware wallet? Do you see any incoming/outgoing transactions in electurm? Is your wallet fully synced?

Most likely to be one of the following:
- You were using multiple "accounts" in Ledger Live (Electrum does not support this, you have to create a separate wallet file for each "account")
- Mix of "Legacy" and "Nested SegWit" accounts in Ledger Live ("old" transactions ie. 2017 and earlier won't show, would need to import your seed and select the "Legacy" option)
- Ledger Passphrase was used (need to use the "extend seed with custom words" option when importing the seed to Electrum)
- Gap Limit issue. How far out did you extend the gap limit?

He mentioned most "old transactions are missing" in the quoted post of his and in the screenshot, the oldest is from January 2018.
The unconfirmed are obviously P2SH-SegWit.

His inputs start with a 3.

How old are those "old transactions"? If those are older than 2017, I highly doubt that they're included in your (P2SH) SegWit Ledger wallet because SegWit wasn't available in Ledger before that date.
You might need to import your seed phrase into a legacy wallet for the older transactions to show up (in Electrum, select legacy when prompted for address type).

For the newer unconfirmed transactions, I second NeuroticFish's link.
If it didn't worked and you have a passphrase in Ledger, review my previous post's notes about the passphrase.

Unfortunately, the legit free accelerators don't accept transactions with very low fee rate, they have a minimum.
Best you can do to those 2 non-RBF txns is to wait and do not re-broadcast them though "fake accelerators" or "push" service so they will be dropped from mempools after a few (2+) weeks for you to be able to re-send them with higher fee.

If the derivation path doesn't work as suggested above try this one.

Since you have all TXID and imported seed backup to Electrum then try to make a raw transaction and make sure to edit the transaction fee higher than the old transaction.

Use this tool https://coinb.in/#newTransaction paste the transaction ID(TXID) now edit the output under amount and take note of the transaction fee make sure to pay a large fee if you want to speed up the transaction.

After you submit you should see a hex/raw transaction then copy all text generated and paste it or import it to Electrum and try to sign the transaction(Let's hope it will work.) if successful you can copy the signed raw/hex transaction and paste it to https://coinb.in/#broadcast.

I hope that it will work if not you might need an extra ledger to recover your old wallet.

I'll ask you try again, but this time, at the step after entering the seed, please do "detect existing accounts".
It may find your addresses since it should do directly the same thing as that tool BitMaxz has told us about.

Maybe you remember if this was your account 2 or more on Ledger? Since those may use different derivation path (m'/49'/0'/1' , m'/49'/0'/2' , ...) as somebody said on reddit. If Electrum didn't find your addresses, you can try with m'/49'/0'/1'

actually, I did tick the BIP 39 option , because without checking it, electrum doesn't allow to forward with just the passphrase.

If you recovered the wallet in Electrum directly from the seed, then you didn't answer to a very important question, I'll re-post it.


It's important that you've checked that checkbox. See the step4 from here, the Options button.

Thank you NeuroticFish,

I got 'false' but I can confirm the seed I imported is ledger's and I've selected "p2sh-segwit (p2wpkh-p2sh)".
 



I'll keep trying what BitMaxz told below. does putting my xpub sites like below is risky?

It should be easy to check. Go to Electrum console and try something like


I've got the address from your first RBF tx.
If the answer is yes, you did right. If it's no, you may be missing something.

I think I did it correctly. addresses are segwit

It is a bit strange that Electrum is showing neither your outgoing transactions nor your balance. If the transactions listed above had been dropped from the mempool, then you should be seeing the outputs they spend in your wallet and available to be spent.

Are you sure you have recovered the correct wallet? If you click on the "addresses" tab, do the addresses from the transactions above show up? Do the addresses start with the character "3"? Does your Electrum client show a green circle or a red one in the bottom right corner?

Hello Guys! thank you for helping me.

I've imported the seed into electrum , but those transactions are missing. I increased the gap limit yet it doesn't appear those. most of the old transactions are missing on electrum.


unfortunately, I don't control the new address to which I sent coins.

is there anyone who can help me adding these to a tx accelerator or pool?   

thank you again ! <3

Have you ticked "BIP39 seed" in the 'options' under the seed? Yes?
If the addresses are different, you might have to include the passphrase like previously mentioned.

Note: it's not the password that you type at the last part of wallet creation.
To enable it: tick "Extend this seed with custom words" above BIP39 in the 'options' and you'll be able to input your passphrase in the next window.

This is additional from the above posts if you can't find your wallet and the right derivation path there is a tool that you can scan your wallet with balances with the right derivation path developed by mewald55.

You can find the tool from here https://blockpath.com/wallets/local/101?action=appxpub

And here's what it looks like if found addresses with balances.

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/a1gzqg/i_made_an_xpub_scanner_that_searches_all/

You need the xPub,yPub or zPub from your wallet. You can try to import the 24 seed to Electrum and get the master public key under wallet information.
Copy that and paste it to the scanner and let it scan.


You can use that tool to find the right derivation path that you can use to recover the right wallet.
It will only works if you still have remaining balances in your wallet if not it won't work.

Does this mean that the new wallet is yours?
If so,then you can create a CPFP to accelerate the first transaction that wasn't flagged as rbf. Go to your new wallet and send the coins to one of your addresses with enough fee to cover both transactions (the new one and its ancestor).
If you used Electrum to create the new wallet, then you can create a CPFP transaction by simply right clicking on the unconfirmed transaction from the "history tab" and clicking "Child pays for parent".

It works normally.

OP, the seed phrase you Ledger generated will be BIP39, whereas Electrum seeds not BIP39, as explained by Charles-Tim above. When you try to import your seed phrase to Electrum, on the screen where you type your seed phrase in you need to make sure you click the "Options" box and check the box marked "BIP39 seed".

If this isn't working, then Electrum might give you a clue as to why it is not working by saying something like "checksum: failed". Is there any chance your words might be incorrect, have one or two misspelt, be in the wrong order, etc?

Or perhaps you are choosing the wrong derivation path. The addresses you are sending coins from are P2SH addresses, so on the screen after you type in your seed phrase you need to select the option "p2sh-segwit (p2wpkh-p2sh)".

Seed phrase generated from ledger nano is BIP39, importing it on electrum is compatible and it should work perfectly. The reason it may not work is if you did not mark BIP39, you have to indicate while importing the seed phrase on electrum that it is BIP39. Also, you need to be certain if you use passphrase, if used, you will need to include the passphrase while importing it on electrum, if you did not include the passphrase, you will end up getting another derivation entirely.

About your transaction (b7dc92e749b752a5b599ac3f5866d9126ab85fc47e823148853a6a66fd54a45f), it is not supporting RBF, with 13 inputs which makes the fee much more low than to be confirmed early, the transaction is almost a month, but the last time it was rebroadcasted was four days ago, which means you still connect your ledger wallet online four days ago in which automatically rebroadcasted the transaction at the time. It may likely still say in the mempool for almost 2 weeks.

If you control the address it is sent to, you will have to spend the unconfirmed output and send to another address on your wallet you sent it to with a fee that is high enough to confirm two transactions in time.

For your second and third transaction
2532845582ee131cc63850d46101aa88fcc919ce0c2dacb82795d693e9129597
36a6e5a524cfa657537bd5be54fba7119d536a5497a47f055e36b2fd9ab7e387

It supports RBF, try to just import your seed phrase on electrum by follow what I explained above, make sure you click on BIP39 because the seed phrase is not from electrum directly, and if passphrase is included, include it.

Your fourth transaction
Probably most mempool have dropped the transaction, if the seed phrase importation is successful, you should be able to rebroadcast it again, make sure you spend the same input you spent the last time.

As long as you have your 24 seed words, your funds should be safe. I've never tried importing 24 seed words into Electrum (note that importing hardware wallet seeds into a hot wallet is a risk!), but if it doesn't work there's always Ian Coleman. DO NOT do this online, you'll risk your funds. If you copy the site to a system running offline (air gapped) from a Linux LIVE DVD, you can safely experiment until you get it right. It may take some fiddling with the derivation path.
After that, you can create a watch-only Electrum installation on an online computer, import the addresses, create a watch-only wallet, create an unsigned transaction, and sign it offline in Electrum from the LIVE DVD where you've imported the private keys.

This is the very short version, but should be enough to get  you started. Don't take shortcuts, take your time to understand what you're doing.
