Old versions of MultiBit Classic send what is nowadays too low a fee (by a factor of ten).
That's why we recommend everyone keeping up-to-date.
If it's not propagating then going down the 'Reset blockchain and transactions' route is the way to go.
But upgrade to version 0.5.19 first
Topic: Multibit Classic - Transaction still pending after 5 days (Read 947 times)
Hi,
I see that many other people are having a similar issue - mine is slightly different.
I have an old PC installation that I am trying to move my BTC from, from Multibit Classic 0.5.16 on the old installation, to Multibit HD on the new PC. I first of all tried to move them via backing up files etc and using Multibit Classic on the new PC - that went horribly wrong and the BTC disappeared for a while but came back after many resets of blockchain info etc.
I then decided to simply send the BTC from the old wallet in Multibit Classic to the new one. I did a test transaction as advised - this worked fine. I then sent the rest, and this is has now been 'stuck' for 5 days.
It first of all stated 'seen by 1 peer' and appears to increase this number every time I restart Multibit Classic. I tried the next day, so it went up to 'seen by 2 peers' and I have tried periodically over recent days. It is now up to 'seen by 7 peers'. However, when checking on blockchain.info, it still says 'transaction not found'.
So...I don't know what to do...do I still keep waiting days or weeks? I appreciate the fee is low with Multibit Classic, but the test worked fine so I assumed 'the rest' would too. Clearly not.
So do I keep restarting Multibit Classic in the hope that it will keep retransmitting the transaction and will eventually work....or do I now assume that this is not going to work, and start the 'reset blockchain and transactions' routine, and go down that route?
Any help appreciated...many thanks in advance!
Cheers
Tim
