The simple answer is "wait".

- There are currently 150,000+ unconfirmed transactions in the mempool: https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count
- Some 12MB worth of these transactions (or around 12 full blocks worth) are all paying fees above 130 sats/byte: https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx

You haven't provided a transaction ID, so we can't check for issues like low fee, unspent transctions, double spend etc...

However the current recommended fees are:

The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 280 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
The current best transaction fees 243 Satoshis/byte | 0.00243 BTC/KB

Check your transaction and compare the fee... If it is below 200 sats/byte, you're going to be waiting for quite a while.

If you want to try getting it confirmed faster... visit the ViaBTC TX Accelerator and try to submit your transaction right at the start of every hour until you get the "acceleration succeeded" message... They only accept 100 txes at the start of every hour... and with the network the way it is, you have to get in quick as the accelerator service is being hammered hard.

Good luck

Hi,

I am running multibit HD V 4. I sent some btc from my cryptonator acc and it showed up as unconfirmed in multibit. It is on the blockchain info website  as unconfirmed transaction.

I tried 'repair wallet ' function in multibit and now it does not even show up at all in the Payments section. Does anyone have any clue how to complete the transaction.

Many thanks,

Dave

I think 'seed' words, in Electrum, are the same thing as 'wallet' words, in Multibit.

So my question is where are the seed words, in my case, that are usually created with a new wallet?

Are they the same as my old multibit wallet's wallet words?

Electrum can generate two different types of wallet. If you make an electrum wallet by importing private keys then that wallet has no seed/wallet words. You have to backup the wallet file itself, or the private keys you created it with. There are no seed/wallet words for that type of electrum wallet.

If you make the other type of electrum wallet by using seed/wallet words you only need those words to backup your wallet. However, electrum and multibit seed/wallet words are incompatible with each other. Electrum will generate a different list of addresses to multibit from the same seed/wallet words.

Thanks bud, for that help.

Shoot me a tip address and I'll send you something next time I have some work on the go.


We aren't allowed to post addresses in threads, but you can find mine in my profile linked below.

ps. any idea about the seed words?

What do you mean about the seed words?

I'm glad you got control of your coins back.


One thing I noticed was the number of unused addresses which appeared in the list, interspersed amongst the used addresses. Why was multibit generating these? Was that me changing my mind half-way through or what?


I don't know why multibit generated those addresses.



So does this mean I can spend from either wallet's private keys, now? Not saying I want to maintain two because it might just be too confusing and a bit pointless.

Yes, you can spend from either wallet's private keys now.

Ah, yes. Quite right. I have the rest now...  Cool (phew!)

When it's as smooth as silk one day, I'll smile about all of this.

Also, it seems there are no seed words for this imported wallet. Shouldn't I be looking to generate them somehow?

Hm. I'ts not showing the balance I was seeing in multibit... about 3BTC short.

Did you import the private keys for the change addresses as well as the private keys for the normal addresses?

Each time you spend some of the Bitcoins in an address multibit generates a new change address and sends the change to it.


If an address has had some, but not all of its Bitcoins sent out from multibit then the change gets sent to the list of addresses below. The screenshot shows the settings I used to recover those addresses.







To generate the change addresses (and their private keys) you click the BIP32 Derivation tab on that webpage, then enter m/0'/1 into the BIP32 Derivation Path instead of m/0'/0 (which you use to generate normal addresses).

This is an example of what the webpage will look like after you enter m/0'/1.

Okay re-installed... albeit with a few hiccups.

If I select 'restore.. or import..', it asks me 'Please enter a seed phrase, a master key, a list of Bitcoin addresses, or a list of private keys'.

Which of the 4 options should I select?

A list of private keys like the one below with no white spaces between them.

Hm.... I'm on Linux.

Would it be safe to remove Electrum and re-install it, at this stage of the process, do you think?

I haven't tried the linux version of electrum yet, and I don't know if its GUI is different to the windows version.

First try clicking the file menu, then 'New/Restore' as shown below.



Afterwards try 'Restore a wallet or import keys' using the settings in the screenshot below.




If that doesn't work (or the linux GUI is different) I guess it would it be safe to remove Electrum and re-install it.

I recommend you install electrum version 2.6.4 because the newer electrum 2.7.x versions are buggy.

Yes, I'm using Electrum version 2.6.4 .

You only need to import addresses(corresponding private keys) with positive balances.

Okay. Got that. I managed to import the first few keys successfully. I have fewer than 30 transactions.

But it seems Electrum won't allow me to create a new non-watching-only wallet by importing addresses/private keys.

I initially opted for a watching-only wallet because a) it prompted me, and b) it seemed like a sensible thing to do while using the software for the first time. Now when I create a new wallet (because watching-only means you can't access your funds), it no longer prompts me to choose watching-only or non-watching-only. It defaults to watching-only. Which is not what I want. I want a real usable wallet with access to all my funds.

The only other way to create a wallet, it seems, is to select 'Create a new wallet' instead of 'Restore a wallet or import keys'.

Am I correct in saying that for the purposes of migrating from a buggy multibithd to electrum264 I should be doing a 'restore' and not a 'create'?


Try the instructions below if you are using windows. Even if you already installed the normal electrum wallet you can still install the portable one. All the portable version's wallet files install into the same folder as electrum-2.6.4-portable.exe, so the portable version doesn't interfere with the regular version.




Download electrum 2.6.4 portable from here (because the latest 2.7 versions are buggy).

https://download.electrum.org/2.6.4/electrum-2.6.4-portable.exe

Create a new folder and copy electrum-2.6.4-portable.exe into it, then double click it to start the wallet.

An install wizard window should open. At the top of it select the "Restore a wallet or import keys" option, then click the "next" button.

Another window will open with a box in it that you can type your list of private keys into.

After that click the "next" button and another series of windows should open. Leave each window's settings as they are and click the "next" button in each one until the wallet opens.

You can leave the password boxes blank, the electrum wallet can work without a password, and its password is not the same as your multibit wallet's password.

When the wallet opens it should sync within minutes and show your Bitcoins. You can use it to send them wherever you like.

Ok.

Thanks for this.

Is it only addresses(corresponding private keys) with positive balances, that I should import into Electrum? Or is it necessary to import all preceding keys, even ones which no longer contain a positive balance?

Or doesn't it matter?


You only need to import addresses(corresponding private keys) with positive balances. If you do that electrum will sync almost instantly. If you also import preceding keys which no longer contain a positive balance it doesn't matter unless there are a lot of them. If there's over a hundred electrum will probably take a while to sync, if there's over a thousand electrum will probably take a very long time to sync.
