Hey guys
I made a withdrawal from my wallet to an exchange, but lost internet connection on my laptop sometime during the process or shortly thereafter. I've noticed that I have 0 confirmations within the wallet, and it's been over a half hour now.
Any idea on what I can do? I've restarted the wallet multiple times. Is there some sort of command that can reset the transaction?
Thanks for the help....
I have had the same issue when I shut down my wallet just after sending a transaction - before it could be announced.
You can fix it by doing the following;
1: Make sure your Wallet is closed.
2: Open a folder, and type %appdata% into the address bar and hit enter.
3: go into the MaxCoin folder, then into the blocks folder
4: delete all the .dat files in there
5: Restart the wallet app
6: It will state that the database is corrupt, and ask if you want to fix it - say yes.
7: It will then re-synch your wallet from the beginning, and the transaction will occur
8: send the fixer a tip - address below 
<--- this is the most important part of the process XDJust use
-rescan when starting Maxcoin wallet, there is no need to redownload complete blockchain. If blockchain somehow becomes corrupted
wallet will notice and either fix it or complain about it (as you stated at step 6). Missing, not confirming or any other problematic transactions
have to do with wallet data not being "in sync" with downloaded blockchain so wallet must be fixed, not blockchain. If blockchain itself becomes
corrupted and wallet does not seem to be able to auto-fix it just use
-reindex instead of
-rescan1. Go to folder where you installed Maxcoin wallet
2. Right-click on
maxcoin-qt and select "Create shortcut"
3. Right-click on
maxcoin-qt - Shortcut and select "Properties"
4. In field "Target" add -rescan ("C:\Program Files\Maxcoin\maxcoin-qt.exe" -rescan) and click OK to close window and save changes
5. Use
maxcoin-qt - Shortcut to start Maxcoin wallet
6. Once wallet is up and running you can remove -rescan from shortcut (else every subsequent start will last longer due to rescanning wallet).
Downloaded new wallet, added nodes to config, restarted, waited for 1 hour, but no effect

P.S. Win 8 64bit
Win7 64-bit here, same problem. I think the cause for this situation is most people stopped running their local wallets once solo mining became
hard and moved to pools, sending MAX to exchanges. Totally bad idea, guys. I know many of you are new to crytocoins but important lession you
definitely need to learn is that cryptocoin networks are users with local wallets running. Cryptocoins are supposed to be decentralized! If only few
pools and exchanges are running local wallets we can not really speak about network being secure, all it takes to stall it is to kill those few wallets.
The purpose of local wallet is not just to have your coins localy, wallet main purpose is to be building piece of cryptocoin network. That means to
check any and all transactions and blocks and relay data to other wallets. If you let validation of transactions in hands of few people, especially
big mining pools, we all might start experiencing major problems with MAX. So, unless you are mining and immidiately dumping MAX for BTC you
better have local MAX wallet running at all times.
Using pool or exchange to store your MAX is by far the most stupid idea ever, just like storing your fiat or precious metals in banks.Downloaded new wallet, added nodes to config, restarted, waited for 1 hour, but no effect
- 0 connections.
P.S. Win 8 64bit
delete maxcoin.conf
save new there C:\Users\
\AppData\Roaming\MaxCoin\maxcoin.conf
or remove into C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\MaxCoin\
That worked! Thanks a lot!
P.S. But I really can't imagine, that all the other people figure it out by themselves... Very unfriendly install procedure, definitely bad for coin reputation.
Install procedure, troubleshoting and setting up Maxcoin wallet is identical to Bitcoin and all altcoins based on Bitcoin. It is not friendly toward
average or bellow average computer users but it is still complicated nowhere close to messing with advanced Win features, software or Linux.
Anyway, I'm not mining MAX nor I plan to do so (no hardware) but I'm interested in what hashrate one can expect from certain hardware. Let's
say ATi 5770 GPU, what hashrate is obtainable when mining MAX? I know there are mining calcs out there but for them to be useful to me I need
to know hashrates first ... thanks in advance!
very interesting result. 
Good luck!
