And as jnano said... if he deleted his wallet, and that transaction drops, then those coins are gone. Why would someone delete a wallet without waiting for transaction confirmation?
Topic: Bitcoin Core transaction not reaching mempools (missing parents) (Read 303 times)
The transaction still seems to be around on some of the various blockexplorers... have you tried rebroadcasting the transaction? It probably won't confirm for a long time given that it has a fee of 16 sats/byte

You're an exchange and you don't know how Bitcoin works?
If it wasn't confirmed and it's no longer in the mempool, that means it remains available for spending in his wallet.
If he deleted his wallet the money is gone.

We have similar problem with one of our customer. He send his BTC to our exchange but he used low transaction fee.
For over a month we saw his payment as pending 0.01095060. Zero confirmation, in memory pool.
This changed today. From today we see Pending 0.00000000 and not in memory pool.
Problem is he don't have access to his btc wallet because he emptied it and deleted.
So where are his bitcoins now? We sure did not got it.
If someone more experienced can help we be thanksful.

(Also, the reason I am sending the BTC is because I want to get at the BCH and BTG that is supposedly in this same wallet. And I wanted to move the BTC somewhere safe while I did that.)
If you're worried about accidental spending, you can just send to a new address in your own wallet. You don't need an exchange.BCH/BTG isn't in a wallet, it's on specific addresses.

When I check the old transaction in pushtx it gives me: transaction already exist and for the new transaction it gives me: Validation Error: BitcoindException(super=com.neemre.btcdcli4j.core.BitcoindException: Error #-26: 18: txn-mempool-conflict, code=-26)
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong and how can I prevent this from happening again?
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong and how can I prevent this from happening again?
it's simply rejecting your tx because of double spend attempt (txn-mempool-conflict)
but I see you or someone else managed to push it to other nodes, it is confirmed now (22 Confirmations)
https://blockchain.info/tx/7f10b2cb874b2d238bb8bd5e480683cd81deea53692da3536bf5d10f7c2ab891
if you check the address 16WHuR9EC on blockchain.info it shows both of your tx (1st-abandon & 2nd-confirmed)
but on address 15rMo5QpG, you can only see (at this time) the 1st tx only, this is bc.info glitch
another explorer shows the 'double spent' tag https://bitaps.com/16WHuR9ECniBVAXqGCM4mJeEgfRU925mwr

Hi guys,
I bumped in almost the same issue like the guy who started the post. I am pretty new to this thing so please bare with me. So I received a transaction in my wallet - bitcoin core 0.15.1 - and I wanted to send transaction. When I didn't get confirmation for 24 hours I did some research and delete my mempool and started the wallet with -walletbroadcast=0 and I was able to abandon the transaction. So far so good - I did another transaction with more fee and now I am facing the same problem. When I check the old transaction in pushtx it gives me: transaction already exist and for the new transaction it gives me: Validation Error: BitcoindException(super=com.neemre.btcdcli4j.core.BitcoindException: Error #-26: 18: txn-mempool-conflict, code=-26)
Can you guys please help?

that's how bitcoin works, that's why we called it 'blockchain', previous outputs used as inputs for new transaction.
Damn I need to learn this shit more in depth

(4ab3ecc9a14ce6a9866ee048eeef4a7ea8c726e016e6316f2a00d5973f22cbae is the ID of a transaction i made from the wallet to this address: 3MPLa3XGKGcDbSCvBdjEtXWkvXAhNGJmcJ and it hasnt confirmed. im not sure what the inputs were or how i'd find out. i don't even recall who i was sending this to or why)
check your pm, I explained all addresses involved with that transaction.Quote
I think I still don't see how that affected this new transaction though. Surely the unconfirmed transaction isn't being considered a "parent" of the new transaction? I don't see how that makes hierarchical sense...

But on the plus side... theoretically I can abandon that old transaction, and that would mean i have more coin in my wallet, and i guess i write a new transaction which would select valid inputs? (bit out of my depth here i think lol)
right on track, abandon 4ab3ecc9a1 and your last tx, then create new tx with all your available unspentsit's not theoretically but it is actually what you have to do

It looks like it could have been dropped as the member above said as a double spend.
I cannot find the on any explorer either.

That transaction was one I made a while ago. I assumed it had gone through. My wallet hasn't downloaded the whole blockchain yet so it's still displaying as having left my wallet.
But if that's the case, that means the funds from that transaction are actually still in my wallet.

Tried to send all the BTC in my wallet to an exchange. Set fee at 0.004 BTC / kb
Transaction ID does not show on any block explorer. In BC, the transaction displayed as "0/unconfirmed, in memory pool" (I assume it means my wallet's local mempool).
After 48 hours, I extracted the hex code from the transaction (getrawtransaction) and ran it through https://blockchain.info/pushtx. This gave me:
After some searching it seemed I could try sending it again with higher fees.
So I updated my client from 0.13.2 to the latest 0.15.1, then managed to "abandon transaction" by removing the mempool file from my system and starting Core with -walletbroadcast=0 in terminal ("open /Applications/bitcoin-qt.app --args -walletbroadcast=0").
This allowed me to try sending the amount again, this time I upped the fee to 0.005 BTC / kb.
I got exactly the same problem.
It seems to me that it isn't a matter of fees at all. Because this isn't even about getting confirmations, I'm not even getting into the mempools. And that is not a fee problem afaik.
So it seems to me that the "missing parents" problem has to do with the source of my btc funds in my wallet. Both times I used pushtx on the hex, it was the same UNKOWN-ADDRESS being inserted that caused the error to show.
There are not that many transactions ("inputs"?) going into my wallet. Only 8. And when I inspect any of these transactions' details, they all show as confirmed. So I would have thought they're all fine. But this "missing parents" problem remains.
What can I do?
(Also, the reason I am sending the BTC is because I want to get at the BCH and BTG that is supposedly in this same wallet. And I wanted to move the BTC somewhere safe while I did that.)
