thanks for every ones help I need to get the coins to my faucet so what my best option how long wil it take for he coins to come bak if I do nothing or how do I do the  start zapwallettxes in my core wallet
thanks

If you don't do anything, it will probably take 2-3 days before it becomes forgotten by the network. In the future, I recommend you use the suggested fee by your wallet, or use https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC to find what the optimal fee is around for your transaction to get confirmed quickly.


You could also just use a fee of 0.0002BTC (~8 cents) for every transaction you do, and in most cases it will be confirmed quickly.

if you're using core then the bitcoins will never come back to your wallet if you do nothing. this is because core automatically rebroadcast your unconfirmed transaction (-zapwallettxes stops this).

to start core with -zapwallettxes, follow these steps:
#1 make sure the client is closed
#2 open run (win + r), enter c:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -zapwallettxes (modify path if needed) and confirm with ok.
#3 let it do its thing, the TX will be gone once its done.

You still haven't provided the wallet you're using.  You may be able to get more specific help if you do so.  In general, what you want to do is back up the relevant private keys but discard the transaction.  I think if it were me, I'd probably import the relevant private keys into another wallet and just take the original one offline.  Then I'd do a spend of the relevant funds with a good fee and that should get you on your way.

EDIT:

Sorry, if you are using core, that is, if you used core to broadcast the original transaction, then do exactly as --Encrypted-- suggested, start the program with the -zapwallets flag.

Thanks --Encrypted--! I hadn't seen that explorer before... added to my list Smiley.

thanks too. I didn't know that was the second tx.  Tongue

@OP
if you're using core, you can try deleting the transaction by starting bitcoin-qt with -zapwallettxes command and resend again with proper fee. since your transaction never got accepted (or was dropped) by most nodes the chance of it being confirmed is very low.

OK... if I'm reading it properly, it looks like the second transaction is trying to spend the unconfirmed output from the first one.

First TX:

https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/6ec890618a687f6fc09c4b9cdbda5bb1d18cc0a86bda09abed9a5db0277433bb/

Second TX:

https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/873a0d1156da19572785f2b576c92876fe88d91b3d0ab082c9de3236af42a3e0/

Look at the output from the first transaction... 0.025 to 1L9P and 0.018 to 1ABP.  That 0.018 output is used as input in the second transaction.

So, until that first transaction confirms (good luck), then that second one can't.

the trans id for the one I paid a fee for is
873a0d1156da19572785f2b576c92876fe88d91b3d0ab082c9de3236af42a3e0-000
I looked on blockchain as it say invalid id.
how can I cancel a unconfirmed trans witch I did not pay a fee for
I can't find that transaction anywhere.  It's not on any block explorer, nor is it available on my own coin daemon that runs with txindex=1.  What wallet are you using to create and send these transactions?

Indeed, I concur, I can't find any information about that txid.  Are you sure you are using bitcoin (not litecoin, doge, CLAM, some other alt)?  What's your wallet?

looks like he paid 0.00444231BTC fee. what's wrong with that?

edit:
oh yeah. unconfirmed input. I mistook that for the first transaction.

You can not cancel it you may try to double spend it, but do not ask me how.

Just wait a few days the money will comeback to your wallet once it get rejected from the miners, I hope i did not said any wrong info.

Without providing your transaction details ,we can't help you at all.Get the transaction id from blockchain.info and post it below.
Just noticed you haven't paid fees for one of the transactions ,well its 2016 ,I doubt your transactions will get conformed anytime soon.

...is it a problem we blockchain or not ?

It is almost 100% of the time not the Bitcoin blockchain.
It is most likely that you paid too little of a fee for the amount of txs in the mempool.

Your question needs a little editing, it's kinda hard to understand you.  Probably the best thing you can do is post the transaction ids here so that even if people can't understand your English, they'll be able to see what you're talking about and maybe the context will help.
