If the transaction wasn't sent with a miner's fee, it'll take a really long time for it to be added to a block.

To be added to a block. Not to be relayed + show up in the wallet. The second is instant.

Will the transaction be much faster if i use the wallet on the blockchain or any online wallet compaired to  the  QT wallet on my computer?

I thought the  transfer's are instant and secure. (i am still learing)

I use the standard bitcoin-qt and it works for me - be sure to encrypt it.  For web I use blockchain.info - be sure to use a unique very good password, for my phone I use the android bitcoin client - don't lose your phone.  While I am at it here, I use bitfinex for trading - don't trade on margin unless you really know what you are doing.

We have never seen the transaction in question since it never got transmitted so we do not know what fee would have been added had it been transmitted.


Yeah I don't think it was ever sent.  The Multibit wallet was all screwed up. When I reset the Blockchain and transactions in Multibit it lost 4 BTC from the balance and that pending transaction disappeared. BUT Blockchain.info had the full correct balance recorded in my addresses including the balance of that pending transaction! I just swept the private key for the screwed up multibit addresses and got all my money back  and in one place! Phew...


I still don't understand how Multibit screwed up so bad.  I think I need another wallet client. I have lost trust in Multibit now.

Anyone have any suggestions for a more reliable wallet client?

Transaction may  take  4 day but  you can still cancelit and waite 24 hours before sending that transaction again.
You can also addin a fee before sending the tranaction.

No, you never lost your money.
It will either proceed, or come back

Well I have calmed down a bit as checking the balances of the two addresses in that wallet on blockchain.info show the correct balance.  But the Multibit client is all WACKED.

 I am thinking of just sweeping those two address into another wallet. Something has got to be wrong with this multibit wallet!
I am not a multibit expert so I do not know how long a blockchain reset will take on multibit.  It may take a long time.  Let's give it a chance to recover from the reset and see what happens next.

Any multibit user/expert here who can tell us how long a blockchain reset will take?

OMG OMG I am freaking out.... I went to tools > reset blockchain  and transactions > and reset then from the 27th... NOW I AM MISSING ABOUT  4 BTC  FROM MY ACCOUNT! I went from 21.8 BTC to 18.58 BTC and that  ORIGINAL TRANSACTION  i was waiting on is gone!


WTF IS GOING ON!
Calm down, they will be back.  You are reloading all transactions.

Once everything is back up to date, if the transaction is gone and your balance is correct then just resend it and it will probably go right out (assuming you are connected).

Let's wait a bit.  BTW how many peers are you connected to now?  I think it should be more than one.

In this transaction you sent 0.00018757 BTC to 1KCqAiTczFe3e1Lr3j9dVN9r3mEYrJ8RDy, there was a 0.0001 BTC fee so only 0.00008757 BTC arrived.  The 10.99981243 BTC is your change which was sent back to your wallet to the Bitcoin address 14KQDNpy9ZHsc7WqUdNFQTSs6vVVkTfCLu

Ok i think I found the transaction ID for the first payment:

https://blockchain.info/tx-index/eb64e45e551d1dd62e9f2a06bb4f0d6568284c6e9fd1ffd280f40004d5deabdf

It says "transaction not found"  Huh
Yep, this transaction has not yet been transmitted out of your client.

Perhaps you have a connection issue.  Try to reconnect your client (turn off and back on?)

What!  Sad  Sad But every other transaction has been instant. Why would one go into limbo?

Wait for some more time.

Recent days show more delay if you transact with .0001 fee than .0005 fee.


How long can these delays be? Hours?  Huh
