Folks, I don't know whether its just me or it has something with the current state of the network... so I thought I would ask here, maybe someone has a solution:
few days ago I initiated a transaction, and it never confirms... I keep rebroadcasting that, and reattaching too (5 times already), all the attempts are shown in history as "pending" (they also show up with considerable delay - like 10 minutes after reattaching complete), but none of them seems to confirm.
I am using the latest 2.4.0 light wallet and I have moved my IOTAs to new seed - btw moving also took awhile, but finally confirmed in 1 day after 3 re-attachings. But this new transaction does not..!
Am I missing anything, and is there anything I can do to, to help it confirm?
Thanks for your help!
Just try another seed (Tools--Edit node configuration), for example service.iotasupport.com, and reattach again.
Thanks for your help! I tried 3-4 other hosts (such as service.iotasupport.com, iotatoken.nl, eugine.iotasupport.com, iota.bitfinex.com), and keep reattaching that transaction, but still no joy!
It keeps staying in pending state for many days now. I tried to make another [conflicting] transaction now, but they both are hanging in "pending" state.
All the new receiving addresses I try to attach to tangle, are also hanging in "pending" state. I am now trying to use the wallet with the same seed on another PC, but things seem to be staying the same.
Am I really the only one with such issue? Is everyone able to send/receive without problems now?
Will it help if I switch to full node?
CfB, could you please help with some advice?
The server may not be synced all time. When you connect to the server, let you wallet run for 20 minutes. When you make transactions or reattach, you need to check if your wallet is synced or not. Check the bottom left corner, there are several numbers. Make sure the first two numbers are same. Otherwise wait for the becoming same. But again, the server may not keep synced all time and you should always check the syncing status when making reattach or transactions. For now you just need to reattach. Do it once every 30 minutes. Don't do it more frequently. You will be fine.
For more help, you probably should post a screen shot of your history.
Thanks a lot for your tips!! After getting encouraged by your post, I kept trying it all the different ways, and finally resolved it (though I still do not understand how this could happen).
I am reporting this here, just so if anybody happens in the same situation, he would know what to do.
It looks like the issue was either my IP address or ISP, or placement in the network. As soon as I tried to use the wallet from a different PC
at different network (actually at the same ISP, but other, residential segment), the issue resolved itself! When trying on different PC's, but being behind the same IP address (NAT router), the wallet wasn't able to attach anything to tangle. Iteresting enough, it was able to do that before - nothing has changed in our network since.
Now I have to admit, I do not understand how that could happen, because I was running wallet in the light mode, so the only node I was connecting, was the 'service.iotatoken.com' - at both places, but facts remain the same - as soon as I changed the IP, problem have resolved.
No good thoughts on that. Extraordinary skills are required to get what the problem is.
CfB, I hope this will help you develop your extraordinary skills even further
