There's something that's causing your transactions to get rejected from your own mempool.
There are a few reasons and the most common in not-yet-synced client is if at least one of the input of the transaction is invalid.

You can also try to manually broadcast it and see what mempool-related error you'll get:

In the transactions tab, right-click on one of the transactions, then select: "Copy raw transaction"
Open the console (Window->Console), then type: sendrawtransaction "Your_Copied_RAW_Transaction"
And it should return with an error which should be the reason why those aren't successfully sent.

If it somehow proceed, then there could be in your setting that's preventing txn broadcast..

Are you using the GUI Bitcoin Core client, or running commands from the command line? If you are running the Bitcoin Core client... it should show you at the bottom of the GUI window if it is currently syncing.

Alternatively, just look at the "Window -> Information" menu item... and check what the "Current Block Height" listed is... if it isn't at least 712289, then your client likely isn't synced properly:

Until your client is synced, you won't be able to send any transactions, as the client cannot guarantee that your wallet balance is true and correct.

I do not remember how it works, but maybe Bitcoin Core is not synced, therefore newly created transactions were not transmitted. The question is at which stage of synchronisation it is. And will it publish transactions when become synchronised?

The transfer won't be submitted to the network until the local client is up to date. Up to this point, the transaction is shown in the local wallet but not in the global network / mempool. So yes it will transmit the transaction after becoming fully synchronized if all inputs needed for the transaction are unspent.

Your question number 2.
How do I find the information to answer this question. Is that information in my Bitcoin Core client?

Code:

bitcoin-cli listreceivedbyaddress

But question 1 is more important

Your new transactions haven't been broadcast yet, that's why your transaction don't show up in any blockexplorer. The fact your balance is going down is likely caused by syncing of new blocks in which past transactions were found spending.

If you do:

Code:

bitcoin-cli getblockcount

What is the height reported?

And question 2:
Is this the address from your wallet with the X.98 balance reported:

At least the transactions from yesterday are neither confirmed, nor in mempool, so from my understanding OP funds are not at risk.
I don't understand why they aren't in the mempool with 9+ / 13+ sat/vbyte and I don't know what is stuck there and made them not get broadcasted.
The tx fees are not extremely big, so I'd expect the missing funds indeed be meant to return to OP's change address if all is good.

The transaction from 2014 is confirmed.

Yes I got one 0 wrong from memory, thanks for noticing.

I assumed it was good protocol to anonymize the actual data.
If posting the actual data is advisable I will be happy to do that if maybe we can figure out some more that way.
Also screenshots I can share (I actually too screen photos with my Iphone)
Please advice, is sharing this ok?

Is your bitcoin core fully synced?
What shows block explorer? Any other output address?
Is your input addres emptied? Maybe there was a transfer to change address which is (no idea why) not visible/counted by BCore.

I then first make one small test sending to my safe Ledger wallet address (legacy wallet) of 0.0001 bitcoin, where transaction fees are to be withdrawn from amount.

First of all, there is a difference between your original post where you claim to have send 0.0001 versus the logs:

Code:

Nettobeløp: -0.00100000 BTC

But anyway, based on the logs you posted the two outgoing transactios have a rather small fee attached to them. So fees are not the problem for your "missing BTC". If anything they might be the reason for your transactions still not being confirmed, so not showing up as received on your ledger address.

Might I have been hacked somehow (im on a pretty new MacBook Pro)

Really hard to say based on what you shared this far. Any reason you removed the address and transaction-id from your logs you later posted? The problem for "disapearing" BTC is not in the transactions from your log.

Thank you.
Where do I find my "from" address in my Bitcoin Core wallet. I have tried to look for it but been unable to find it.

If you don't know how to get the address that is already generated on Bitcoin core you can go to Window>Receiving addresses and then it will pop all addresses generated.

Copy them all and paste it to any block explorer as suggested above or just go to blockchair.com to check if all addresses have a balance.

If you have lots of addresses you can use this bulk checker here https://bitcoindata.science/bitcoin-balance-check.html to check all balances.

If all of them show nothing maybe the BTC that you talking about was being sent already long time ago and Bitcoin core just syncs and download newer blocks. It's happening to me before I thought that I have BTC in my Bitcoin core but after it was syncing my BTC was gone and a few transactions were added to my transaction history. I confirm the transaction was sent to my other wallet. So it was sent safely to my other wallet.

So I think what happened to you is the same as mine the only difference is you have still the remaining amount of 0.07BTC.

Why not let it run the Bitcoin core first and wait until the bitcoin core is fully synced but if you want an instant result then better go to any Bitcoin explorer to check your wallet address.

So this is what I see in transactions.

Somehow this extracted BTC 0.07 from my account. And I do not understand how that could happen.

I think you might be right there about the fees.

I was twinkling with the fees thing, did not understand what I was doing.

It is even possible to mess it up like I have done here, to be charged BTC 0.07 for two tiny sends?

What is the safe way to do this. Thanks.

But this time the balance is down to X.91 so balance is down BTC 0.07 by just sending these two very small dust sendings.
That is USD 4000 of bitcoin just to make two very small dust transactions.

It is, indeed, weird. Select the latest transactions' IDs and search them on a block explorer as PawGo suggests. Unless you don't want to sacrifise your privacy, you can use blockstream via Tor: http://explorerzydxu5ecjrkwceayqybizmpjjznk5izmitf2modhcusuqlid.onion/

Quote from: tothemoon10 on December 02, 2021, 09:42:13 AM

Do I have some kind of setting that is eating BTC?

The most logical explanation I can think of is that you simply put a really high fee or confused sat/byte with sat/kilobyte.

Do not you see it on recent transactions list?
If you know transaction id, you may always get all the information using console:
https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/0.16.0/rpc/wallet/gettransaction/

or just use blockchain.com explorer to see details in more 'user-friendly' way.
