I sent DRK to my new Dash wallet and the transaction is unconfirmed for a long time, what do I do?
DASH and DRK are absoluly the same, beside the name. (But i'll refer to your old wallet as DRK and to your new as DASH)
Before you do anything, backup your wallet.dat from the darkcoin dir and also the wallet.dat from the dash directory.
Do you see the incoming transaction in your DASH wallet? (Does it just not confirm?)
- If thats the case i guess you have to wait until a miner gets your transaction in a block.
You don't see the transaction (with 0 confirmations) in the DASH wallet, and only see it in the DRK wallet.
- It seems like your transaction has not been brodcasted to the network. The client should normaly try to rebroadcast it every x time.
You can try to restart the DRK wallet, perhaps it hangs and will rebroadcast the transaction after.
You could also try to start the DRK wallet with the option "-rescan" if the transaction was not submited to the network, the amount should be avavible in your DRK wallet after.
Hope that helps
Ok, I typed -rescan in the debug console, didn't looked like it worked, because I got an error. So I restarted the client and now my transaction has 1 confirmation, good sign
. I now went to send another transaction with instantx, but it says I can't do that I need to wait for 6 confirmations!?! Can I send without instantx and would it take a lot longer?
You have to start the client with the -rescan option.
If im right your on mac, im not a mac user, but i guess you could start the darkcoin-qt from console/terminal, there you just append " -rescan" and this should do the magic.
never used the console in my life, so what do I exactly do? Yes, I'm on a mac. I would like to see a rescan button inside of the GUI client, that it will rescan all the transaction upon the next restart.
i just copied that from a bitcoin help thread (you can search google for it, too, the mechanism is the same as with bitcoin)
Open terminal (type terminal in spotlight or navigate to Applications -> Utilities).
Type:
/Applications/Darkcoin.app/Contents/MacOS/darkcoin -rescan
I dunno if the path is correct, im never used mac in my life :S (But i guess it could be valid)
If not perhaps can a mac user comment.
I i just sent another transaction to my new wallet and in my Dark wallet it say the transaction is "offline", now what does that mean?
In fact i have never seen that, but i guess it will fit to my assumption that your transaction wasn't submited to the network because your client was/is offline.
(What does the icon in the bottom right corner says? are there connections?)
If thats the case, we need to fix the connection (rescan wont help than). Maybe there could be a problem, if you run both wallets the DRK and DASH at the same time, and they use the same port etc. - if there is a connection problem you could perhaps try to close the wallets and open only the DRK one.
this is golden
