Hi guys,

I worked on this late last night trying different things - I have no idea what did it, but one of the attempts went through and 0.11 bitcoin ended up in my wallet and I paid 0.00567874 in fees. Couldn't be happier, thanks everyone!

Hey, that's great to hear! Very happy for you, learned a couple things myself in trying to help so glad we both benefited.

Gotcha, so now I need to keep trying to rebroadcast this hex encoded trx? Is a miner able to work with the hex encoded or do they need a trx id?

The TXID won't help unless they have the transaction in their mempool... you'll probably find they're more likely to need the hex encoded transaction.

If you can get a "referral code" for F2Pool, this site might help... I *think* it might be putting transactions directly into their mempool and trying to mine them: https://www.f2pool.com/pushtx

No idea how you go about getting a "referral code" tho... maybe message their support? Huh

I know this is going to come off scammy but I'd be willing to try a few things if you gave me that private key and an address to send it to. At this point you're in a race anyway, it's going to be lost regardless so taking some faith that some random dude might help you out is a leap I know but it's hard to explain all the methods I might try in a forum post. I totally understand if you're not willing though, but figured I may as well offer it. Maybe HCP is interested too and you could try us both.

If this post is frowned upon I'll delete it, just trying to help in the race and maybe earn a small reward. I also like a challenge.

Never mind on this request. My apologies. I think your only hope now is to hope the tx fee is so low that it expires from a mempool before it gets confirmed. That or find the miners, yeah.

Exactly... The second TXID (d225a) that I posted is the one that actually contains the UTXO that you're trying to "spend"... the first TXID (0e513) is the transaction that the "thief" has broadcast.

That's why it originally said "missing input"... and now it says "mempool conflict"...

Gotcha, so now I need to keep trying to rebroadcast this hex encoded trx? Is a miner able to work with the hex encoded or do they need a trx id?

I don't understand this too well but I would have thought the trx id to have been the first one you suggested:
0e513e1216168f57e07da4d53c9552c74a988f98be2636202ee41ca212bcb110

the second one:d225ac3049d320b42af24f613cc46955b56afd0722c8600c9e1f91a5659087eb
was the original transfer of funds into this bcoiner wallet.

Yeah... because of the previous transaction, the network is for the most part rejecting it as a "double spend" Undecided

I tried to broadcast it on my node, it gave me the "transactionID", so it didn't reject it outright... but I'm not sure you will be able to get it to broadcast. Your best bet now is to try and contact some miners and see if they will include your transaction into a block for you. I have no idea how to do that.

Maybe if the "fraud" transction doesn't confirm for a while, it might start getting dropped from various nodes, and you might be able to broadcast your new transaction. You'll just have to keep trying.

Other than that, there really isn't anything else you can do... sorry Sad

DOH! I just realised that I told you the wrong transactionID... it should have been: d225ac3049d320b42af24f613cc46955b56afd0722c8600c9e1f91a5659087eb

TransactionID: d225ac3049d320b42af24f613cc46955b56afd0722c8600c9e1f91a5659087eb

Amount: 0.11567874

Redo the raw transaction, sign it... and again, try broadcasting it... and paste it here

I followed your steps and the broadcast page says Missing Inputs. Any ideas? Thanks again.

Can you post the "signed" transaction hex here? use [ code ] tags and I'll try broadcasting from my node

Failing that, you'll just need to try broadcasting from various other services...

Here you go! Thanks!

You can't use "Replace By Fee"... that only allows you to change the fee... not the destination address... in any case, the original transaction is not marked RBF, so you can't use RBF anyway Sad

Well it's not exactly a RBF in his example here:

Quote

MultiBit HD

MultiBit HD allows for making Full RBF transactions fairly easy as well. Go to Manage Wallet and click on Repair Wallet and follow the wizard. This process will clear all of the unconfirmed transactions from your wallet much like Bitcoin Core and Armory do. Once repair wallet has completed, simply send the Bitcoin again as you normally would.

Yeah, it won't let you sweep, because it considers the UTXO as already spent (by the unconfirmed transaction)... you will need to manually create the transaction on coinb.in

Go here: https://coinb.in/#newTransaction

Click "Outputs": enter the address you actually want the coins to go to.... in amount, just go for 0.11 (you're going to "sacrifice" 0.00567874 BTC as a HUGE fee to try and beat the thief!)
Click "Inputs":

TransactionID: 0e513e1216168f57e07da4d53c9552c74a988f98be2636202ee41ca212bcb110
N: 4
Script: 76a914e1e35fbcb0d414b9f560dd54e45e58d17ecd5d3688ac
Amount: 0.11567874

Click "Submit"... ignore the large fee warning...

It should generate a "hex" transaction, copy/paste that to the big textbox on the "sign" page... and enter the private key for the address from your bcoiner wallet. It should hopefully give you a "signed" raw transaction... and you can copy/paste that to the "broadcast" page and try broadcasting...

What HCP stated is true then, the mempool knows about the transaction. Your next step might be an attempt to do a replace by fee?

The sweep saying no valid inputs means there's no balance on the wallet (because of the unconfirmed transaction).

Read this post for help. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/all-about-stuck-transactions-and-what-you-can-do-to-fix-them-1802212

I'm not sure which of those wallets does not require a full sync though?

The sweep did say no valid inputs - what does this mean.

In the history i see the original bitcoins received and the unconfirmed transaction to the account that is not mine.

So you performed the sweep? Did it say no valid inputs or something? Or did the broadcast go through? Does your History tab show you anything?

Unfortunately, because that other transaction is already broadcast, you need to try and execute a "double spend"... not easy as a lot of the nodes will have the "fraud" transaction in their mempool and will likely reject your new transaction.

You can try to create a transaction using coinb.in but use a much larger fee than the 200 sats/byte the fraud transaction uses. Can't guarantee the network will accept the new transaction thought Sad
