Ok, I found a way to get rid of the 0/unconfirmed transactions and recover the stuck funds using a python script:
pywallet fork by jackjack (original pywallet by Joric)
How to recover the inkcoins stuck in 0/unconfirmed transactionsFirst, you need to install python 2.7 (if you don't have it) and add a few extensions (instructions below are reproduced from
pywallet git readme by jackjack)
Debian-based Linux (not tested by me, best of luck to you)
aptitude install build-essential python-dev python-twisted python-bsddb3
Mac OS X (not tested by me, best of luck to you)[/b]
1. Install MacPorts from
http://www.macports.org/ 2. sudo port install python27 py27-twisted py27-pip py-bsddb python_select
3. sudo port select --set python python27
4. sudo easy_install ecdsa
Windows (tested by me and confirmed)
1. Install Python 2.7
2. Install Twisted for Py2.7 from here:
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads 3. Install Zope.Interface for Py2.7 like this
(either) 3.1 The easy way (tested by me and confirmed) proposed by TeaRex on github: install Zope.Interface from
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs(or) 3.2 The hard way: If this (3.1) doesn't work, you will have to install the egg file (not tested by me, best of luck to you)
4. Then follow these instructions by the good fellow jackjack:
Ultimate way to delete your forever unconfirmed transactions
- Backup your wallet just in case
- Download Pywallet
- Run './pywallet.py --web'
- Go to http://localhost:8989 in your browser
- Fill the Delete form like this:
- Wallet Directory: /your/wallet/directory
- Wallet Filename: yourwalletfilename
- Key: all
- Type: leave 'Transaction'
- Click the Delete button
- Run 'inkcoin-qt -rescan' (quote edited by coolisbad for inkcoin)
- Done, no more unconfirmed tx's
Word of warning: Be careful if the wallet asks you for a transaction fee, this might be the sign for a transaction that will get stuck on 0/unconfirmed forever. The only transaction that got stuck for me was this one, and it asked me for a transaction fee of 0.0001 due to the amount. This is _not_ normal behavior for this inkcoin wallet, since the other txes didn't need a tx fee. I retried the tx now and it didn't asked for a tx fee plus it got confirmations from the network.
Well, good luck everyone. If you manage to save your stuck coin and you feel overwhelmed with gratitude, my INK address is
