I think we'll see it forever in the qt client till there's an update. It's really
no issue except it takes up one the three listed on the main screen, which
is annoying.

Yup, but for me its also 0.10x btc missing now which i wanted to invest.
So losses will add up.

I had high hopes for BTC, also been a supporter for years now, but this is a blow in the face for me.

The transaction maleability thing has blown over. I haven't really seen any new reports of it since that first day. Your problem is a wallet stuck in the past Smiley Looks like I spoke too soon. Still a problem it seems Sad.

I suggest you

a) backup the wallet file

b) Use pywallet to remove all offending transactions.

See if everything works now.

Yes it is.

Blockchain have a database with all transactions, and each new one appears there suddenly after you make a transfer.

I can try, but will it also give me my 0.10btc back?
As for me that is the most important at the moment.

Try it and find out.

edit: Basically if a transaction has not been included in the blockchain it is like it never happened.

Well,

It seems for me it has not yet corrected itself.
I still have 3 transactions pending, 2 of which are from the 11th 00:44AM which are double spends.
Any clue when they will be removed?

Also a transfer of 0.10x BTC is still pending, this one is more critical as its current value is 46,50 which at the moment is quite much for me.

Well, things just got a bit wierder.
So i made a blockchain wallet to relay all my BTC there, make a new wallet and send it back.
So, first, offcourse 0.01 sent, went good.
Then the rest in small transfers.

0.02
0.1
0.2
And then the last
0.10724272 which is including a total fee of 0.002

All of the transfers went trough, confirmd ect.
Except for 1

the last transaction of 0.10724272

It is not known on the network, is still unconfirmed.

Getting stranger for me.

Stop making transactions and read the link I posted above.

Ye ill stop it, seems we have to ride it out.
Its now in a blockchain wallet protected under a 16 random char password.
Safe enough for the coming days.

Someone is having fun modifying (just the signature not the amount, fee, source, or receiver) and rebroadcasting your tx due to signature malleability.  Not sure if it is just to be an ass, or to prove a point.  

Are we going to see this sort of thing happen often now that Mt. Gox has drawn attention to it? It's an interesting tactic. Sort of like if you can't beat them confuse the hell out of them instead.

Great Smiley

well done.

Solved.

Smiley As it should be.

I dunno why but I mostly prefer android Bitcoin Wallet.
Its working great for me.

Smiley

And I am not a miner, so I dont need qt Smiley


I am quite happy this happened because it is proof positive that you cannot double spend. So i am happy about that Smiley

Im not, takes valueble time away from mining.

Although i see your point i was trying to see the brighter side of the issue. Even from a bad situation some good comes from it however inconvenient it may be...

Also as a miner i am sure you must have several wallets 1 for mining one for payments etc etc.

It is very good that double spent not happen.
And for all of btc users it is more Save and will not make another panic.

So it is very good.

you just received free money then...? Grin
Probably, but no incoming transfers so that seems a bit wierd to me.
What i think i'm going to do is boot up a second pc and install QT there.
then transfer all of it to that wallet and see what happens.

I have the same problem ( betarigs as well ) but now i cannot use my wallet as i get an error

Error: The transaction was rejected. This might happen if some of the coins in your wallet were already spent, such as if you used a copy of wallet.dat and coins were spent in the copy but not marked as spent here

i still have bitcoin in my wallet i can spend but now i cannot send anything from the wallet what do i do to fix this?

Thanks

try to reset blockchain?
It should do the job propably ... (tell me if I am wrong)

I will try your solution and delete the blockchain and redownload it and tell you if it works thank you loz

Smiley ay, waiting for your reply. I hope it works (it should!)

good luck!

I fixed it by uploading my wallet.dat file to https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet

now i can delete my old wallet start a new one and send coins form blockchain.info to my new offline wallet Smiley

I had the same thing happen today.
I sent some bitcoins and received a transaction ID but before any or just as the first confirm a second transaction shows up with a different transaction ID and 1 confirm.
So the original transaction appears in my wallet but with 0 confirms.

Someone is having fun modifying (just the signature not the amount, fee, source, or receiver) and rebroadcasting your tx due to signature malleability.  Not sure if it is just to be an ass, or to prove a point.  

However each tx in the pair uses the same inputs so only one can be confirmed in a block and the network will then drop the other as a double spend.

Ah ok, so i'll just have to ride it out then?
Also after that, will my balance return to the number i had expected?

And how long can it take?

Well, the balance of my btc was 0.39xxx after i sent them.
After a few minutes the transactions popped up again, looking like it was sent again, howeven, my balance went to 0.43xxx as seen on the second screenshot.

Also, the first 2 transactions i sent are getting confirms, but the second transactions none so far.
Also the client im sending it to arent getting any confirms.

So for some reason:
1. The transactions have been sent twice
2. Instead of my balance decreasing it has increased.
3. The client im sending it to (betarigs) arent getting any confirms.

Hopefully this makes it more clear.

And after a few minutes it shows up again, both:


Aside from that, i can also see that the transaction from one of the 2 is not correct in the blockchain:
https://blockchain.info/nl/address/13J7qeLgtfcWAaWX8rGqceRbeMHCexB1hW
https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1FnjQPkM7wYBWFeNmLBMWfbPJb1sjXHByT

And on a more positive note, my balance has been upgraded with the amount spend as can be seen on the blockchain which is not correct:


What the hell just happened?
