I need help (transactions will not confirm)

I got sick of w8ing
& used the pywallet to delete the transactions
got the coin back & everything is working fine now.

Also its easy to use pywallet if you have a Linux box available to run it on.
Doing it in windows is a pain in the ass.
I feel someone needs to take pywallet & redo it into an .exe but remove the web service interface part of it & make it a command line only interface.
This way windows user will not have to install python & will not have to F with IIS web services witch is a pain in the ass & sux to use anyways.

I do want to thank everyone who has taken the time to help me with this. Cool

your all good members of bitcointalk

I think you can contact the owner of blockchain and they can refund it for a fee. not sure

If you don't know what you're talking about, please don't waste people's time and confuse newbies with random guesses that are completely useless.

I recall that the coins will be returned if it doesn't confirm in 72 hours or something like that.

The bitcoin-qt client will keep trying to resend the tx forever until you remove it (my advice for a tx like that would be to use pywallet to delete it then wait for a day before trying to send another tx that has an appropriate fee).

Yeah I know about that tool pywallet.py
its kind of a pain to use,
don't like working with Python in windows, I guess I could move my .dat over to my linode box
they really need to add a delete command to bitcoin-qt.

oh so now it shows up on blockchain.info Roll Eyes

@Mondy
and why would blockchain.info do that?

If you used Blockchain as the wallet, you can get them to cancel the transaction I think.

All paid signature campaigns should be banned.

If it were me I would just wait a few days. If after that they are still not in a block then go through the pain to delete them.

Transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/2f645e16bc2d4d00631ffc36cf5208f3735b537d4f84948980f69b0923dde457

is HUGE: 54355 (bytes)

AND you did not include any fee: 0.00000055 BTC is the same as no fee

Estimated Confirmation Time 15 hours (queue position 3538)

The other transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/5fc128379e8d140fb3d8b53e52d4c7b1719c9151f22c947a69546b0f04a8bacf

is even bigger: 91942 (bytes)

also with no fee: 0.00000096 BTC is the same as no fee

Estimated Confirmation Time 15 hours (queue position 3428)

BTW you have four more unconfirmed transactions:

https://blockchain.info/tx/89db5e19bd03e0da41aeef7b1bd7b6798f4de85e193052576276955a96adb39e
https://blockchain.info/tx/13cb9ba2982d26e17cd61ca791f7b253ae3ff485b52bc932c916ab031118abe2
https://blockchain.info/tx/24a9678b18913cf26e94ec5f289994b3f984632e63f85787e9cff424d4be8b35
https://blockchain.info/tx/d92a95ffd5f148c52355ea6f34922207ba9b8e18c6bc68aecd3f84e15b6acae9

again all pretty big

all non standard and all have less than the recommended fee.

You can wait a few days or as suggested above try to delete them.

I was playing around with the bitcoin.conf file
mintxfee
limitfreerelay
mintxrelayfee
but when I learned more about the settings & what can happen when you change them
I quickly changed everything back to how it was when everything was working fine
but I did send some coin before new more about the settings.

they are not showing up on blockchain.info
I'm not really new to bitcoin, I know a lot but when it comes to transactions there are some holes in my knowledge.

I'm not sure if they will ever be confirmed after looking at the fee.

I just want to know what will happen & is there anything I can do?
I know its much coin, like $30 or something but I would like it to confirm or come back to me.
