My question is regarding this "Relay time : Wednesday, March 8th 2017, 21:29:39 -05:00" - Noticed that appearing there last night, is 'relay' meaning it's after 3 days that a miner / node first saw this tx as potentially mineable, or is it the time at which it was 'relayed' back to sender (and would now be sitting in some MP wallet other than my account balance, as the sending user) ..?
Just curious what that entry really means
The "first seen" is self-descriptive, it's the time that blocktrail first saw the transaction. This was went it was first made. The "relay" time is the *last* time it saw it. Wallets like bitcoin core will continually rebroadcast transactions (every 24h?) so that the network doesn't forget about it (most nodes expire mempool transactions after 48-72h). In your case, this is the opposite of what you want (I guess they forgot to `abandontransaction` on it).
The simplest solution would be to use CPFP to push the transaction through. Either you could do that (using the output they sent to) or moneypot could do it (using the change address) and it would confirm with ~30 minutes or so
I personally have attempted to abandon the transaction. The RPC states that the transaction is not eligible for abandonment.
The user above's account has been credited. I believe his question was more out of curiosity.
Thanks for your explanations Ryan & Craig, as always
Today I learnedSo I guess this explains what happened.. this whole time I had thought MP had decided to wait until this tx was fully abandoned before crediting me haha, it's rather that they
thought they had done so, probably based on the messages exchanged earlier in the thread, but then other things must've got mixed up and someone forgot to actually do it.
Maybe it's when DogeD sent me
BTC from his wallet to one of my off-site wallets, and then I tipped him on MP to his account ; That was not a case of me being tipped/credited to my MP account, and the amount is different than 6666 anyway.
I checked each MP account, no 6666 bits received (or 5666 - you can fairly charge me that full withdraw fee for failed tx) in my balances anywhere. The withdraw had been done
Sunday on this account. Assuming it will be credited by ~tomorrow or so :s
Again sorry to be a bother w/ such "small" amount - I wouldn't normally, except that I busted and there is an MP contest going on =P
Thanks
