Works great with DarkCoin too.

OP - if you have a DRK address post it or PM me and I will send you a well deserved tip!  Grin

I confirmed this works with Zetacoin as well.
The Wallet and Client need to be closed before any edits can be made.

Installed on Windows 8.1 64bit (in this exact order to their default directories):
python-2.7.6.amd64.msi
Twisted-13.2.0.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
zope.interface-4.1.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
ez_setup.py
pywallet-master.zip

The files in the pywallet-master.zip were extracted to C:\Python27 and then I created a .bat file that ran "pywallet.py --web" (no quotes of course)
Then used Chrome to open the http://localhost:8989 or just localhost:8989
Then clicked the top bar / menu option of "DELETE"
And filled out the form as directed but with the Zetacoin wallet.dat file info.
Clicked the Delete button on the bottom of the form.
After it deleted the transactions, I selected the QUIT option on the top bar / menu. This closes out the DOS window in the background and the webpage goes to "page not available".
Created a shortcut to the Zetacoin-QT.exe file with the added line of -rescan. Opened the shortcut file. Zetacoin splash screen loaded and after a few minutes, only the confirmed transactions were there and the one transaction that was "unconfirmed" for a few days was gone.

If i will remove dat zero-confirmation-transaction from the bitboin-client, will i get all bitcoins back? Or will i lose them with this removal?

No, you won't lose anything.  The network will either accept your transaction eventually and the coins will be spent or it will drop the transaction and the coins won't be spent.  However, if you delete the transaction from your wallet and spend the same inputs again on a new transaction, the miners might see a double-spend and reject that one, too.

Best thing is just to wait it out.  Sad

What is this? Any other ideos to get bitcoins back from zero-confirmation-transactions? 4 days and no confirmation ^^

I'm having the same problems with one of my transactions I initiated last night to pay for some equipment.  From everyone I've spoken with, the transaction will either be confirmed or dropped.  It could take several days for either.  Angry  The best thing, they said, is to just wait it out.

New method with 0.9+ built directly into core client:

  -rescan                Rescan the block chain for missing wallet transactions
  -zapwallettxes         Clear list of wallet transactions (diagnostic tool; implies -rescan)

It does exactly what it says - it rebuilds the transaction list from the officially confirmed blocks.

Naturally, get a reliable wallet backup first.


First step:
"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -rescan
Second step:
"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -zapwallettex

Or is it:

"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -rescan -zapwallettex
in one command line?

The -zapwallettex inlcudes a rescan, no need to specify it separately.

kk thx, but didnt work.


Tried to run pywallet, but got this error message:

C:\Python27>python c:\python27\scripts\./pywallet.py --web
  File "c:\python27\scripts\./pywallet.py", line 6
    
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax



What is this? Any other ideas on how to get bitcoins back from zero-confirmation-transactions? 4 days past and no confirmation ^^

Good evening!  Could someone post instructions how to run pywallet on a mac? Or another way to cancel/delete unconfirmed transactions on Mac.
I think i'll need to delete this transcaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/9f7624921d399b93cd4a93226e5fb375fe1bd402b452dca0171c385edae5d86f

or maybe wait to see if ever confirmed?
I made this transaction from my Bitcoin-QT wallet and accidentally used 0 fee...

Please help me!

Ultimate way to delete your forever unconfirmed transactions


  • Backup your wallet just in case
  • Download Pywallet
  • Run './pywallet.py --web'
  • Go to http://localhost:8989 in your browser
  • Fill the Delete form like this:

    • Wallet Directory: /your/wallet/directory
    • Wallet Filename: yourwalletfilename
    • Key: all
    • Type: leave 'Transaction'

  • Click the Delete button
  • Run 'bitcoin -rescan'
  • Done, no more unconfirmed tx's

How do i get this to run?

I have P2Pool running on my openSUSE so I know python 2.7 is installed and running but when I try to run the pywallet.py --web and use sudo before it it tells me pywallet.py : command not found, any ideas?

Thanks,

So I remove the tx that is I am trying to send from my QT wallet do the bitcoins appear back into my wallet? If I was talking about 0.0x BTC's I wouldn't have really lost much but I am talking about more than half a bitcoin is stuck. I checked the Transaction ID on blockchain.info and it doesn't show up there.


Yup  Wink

It will delete the transaction. So if the Qt wallet is the sending wallet, the btc will ready to spent again. If the Qt wallet is the receiving wallet, it doesn't remember anything about this transaction.

Sorry I just want to confirm, this will work with bitcoins that I trying to send to another wallet that are stuck? And I will see the bitcoins appear in my Bitcoin-QT wallet once I do these steps?

If you are using accounts, DO NOT USE THIS METHOD, it completely messes your wallet! Some of your accounts will have higher balance, some lower and overall BTC balance is reduced!
Please DEV look into this

When I try to run I get the "'twisted' package is not installed" error. I manually installed twisted and even tried the pywallet install.bat but neither worked.

We assume some version of Windows...

Quote
Requirements: Python 2.x, with bsddb and twisted packages
Install Python 2.7.6 (32 bit): http://python.org/download/

Below, download the 32 bit build of the python 2.7 package:
-install zope.interface : http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#zope.interface
-install twisted : http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted

Download and save the pywallet.py script to the directory C:\python27 (just so we know where it is).

Press "windows key" + "R" for run, and paste C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\pywallet.py --web


...I edited myself a version of pywallet where --web is the default and it launches a web browser with the URL for you.
