Topic: bitcoin core missing transaction (Read 1760 times)

For the same reason?
Too small automatic generated transaction?

Exactly the same thing is happening to me now.
Blockchain.info showing Bitcoin Core balance as what it should be but I received 2 transactions today for a sig campaign & avatar campaign.
Neither are reflected in my Core wallet but they show up on blockchain.info 

Yeah
the first arrived after something like 6 hours

12 confirmations now.

Thank you a lot

If any mining pools (or solo miners) see this thread and want to help this guy out, you can include the following transaction in your next block. It's only 617 bytes and includes a fee of 0.0001 BTC.

Got it!

It is shown in blockchain.info because blockchain.info created the transaction, so they know about it.

It shows in blocktrail.com because they apparently run a node that does not ignore transactions with spam sized outputs, and they apparently either have a blockchain.info node as a peer connection, or have a chain of peers between them that do not ignore transactions with spam sized outputs.

Other explorers do not show the transaction either because they ignore transactions with spam sized outputs, or because there is no chain of peers between them and blockchain.info that all relay transactions with spam sized outputs.

I overlooked. As the transaction does not appear on Bitcoin Core, you won't be able to do that.

@DannyHamilton: Do you know why this transaction was shown in Blocktrail.com and Blockchain.info but not in other (known) explorers? Do you think latter filter transactions and exclude transactions like these?

I've read more carefully your last post and now I get what happend!
Thank you for your kindly support
Blockchain.info wallet sucks

The blockchain wallet add 0.0001 btc as transaction automatically.
I really didn't get what is the problem.
However I'll not use blockchain.info wallet anymore btc core is 100000 times better

from console



No information available about transaction (code -5)

This is a bug in the blockchain.info wallet.

Their wallet created a transaction that has an output of 0.00000231 BTC.  This is below the "spam" or "dust" threshold that many nodes use.  As such, most nodes will refuse to accept or relay the transaction.

It is possible that blockchain.info might manage to connect directly to a solo miner or mining pool that is willing to accept and confirm such transactions, but it is also possible that this transaction might not confirm at all.  Since nodes aren't relaying it, your Bitcoin Core wallet hasn't seen it yet. If it does get confirmed, then all nodes (including your Bitcoin Core) will finally see it when the block that it's in gets broadcast.

If the transaction was sent from blockchain.info, it will probably be removed from their servers in a few days.  When that happens, the balance will show back up in your wallet and you will be able to attempt to send a new transaction.  You might want to consider sending the entire balance (minus a 0.0001 BTC transaction fee) to your Bitcoin Core wallet so that you don't need to use the buggy blockchain.info wallet anymore.

The other options would be to export the private key from blockchain.info and import it into your Bitcoin Core so that you can create the transactions in Bitcoin Core instead of blockchain.info.  If you do this you will have immediate access to the funds in Bitcoin Core, and will be able to send the bitcoins without waiting for the transaction that is stuck at blockchain.info.

Go to console and run getrawtransaction txid and can you send me the raw transaction you got?


There are no unconfirmed UTXOs in his address.


The weird thing is I am able to see this transaction on Blocktrail.com and Blockchain.info. I tried Biteasy and Blockr.io but I was not able to find this transaction. Apparently, Blockexplorer.com is out of sync, so I couldn't try it.


I second this. Please PM DannyHamilton with your txid. He is highly trusted and is an expert. Please do it.

P.S. The problem is the change. The change is 0.00000231 which is considered as dust. I doubt this transaction will get any confirmation.

blockchain.info add the transaction fee automatically

ok thank you

it apper just on blockcahin.info and it is from a blockchain.ifo wallet

The coins were all confirmed

Since I haven't seen the transaciton, I can think of several possibilities.

One possibility is that the transaction is considered as spam by most of the nodes on the network.  If that's the case, then most nodes won't relay the transaction. If Muhammed Zakir is correct, then this is the most likely problem.  It is possible that this transaction won't show up in your wallet for many days, and depending on how it was sent to you it may never confirm.

If M. Zakir is not correct, then another possibility is that the transaction included unconfirmed inputs and that it was sent long enough ago that it has dropped out of the mem pool of most nodes.

If M. Zakir is not correct, then another possibility is that the transaction was sent from a blockchain.info wallet and that blcokchain.info is experiencing a problem right now that prevents them from broadcasting the transaction to the network.

There may also be other possibilities depending on the specific details of the transaction.

If you're willing to share the transaction ID or the raw transaction, it might be easier to understand and explain what is going on.

Your transaction has a very low priority and you didn't add appropriate fee for it. It will take sometime to get confirmation.

P.S. I suggest you to use Blocktrail.com which shows you all the inputs used and about priority.

I PM you

thanks for your support

Can you post the address here or PM me or DannyHamilton?
