That's not the full valid address... it's missing a bunch of characters off the end. If you want to check it on a blockexplorer, right click the transaction and select "Copy Address" and then paste that into a block explorer.

What do you see if you right click the transaction and select "show transaction details"? What is the "status"? Huh

It is possible that the transaction may not have been broadcast properly.

the full address was replaced by dots(.........) at its few last characters by me for my privacy. i entered the complete address though.

@markzenn11
What do you see when you enter those two receiving addresses in wallet explorers like https://blockstream.info/ or https://blockchair.com/?
Confirmed, unconfirmed, spent, unspent?

Have you checked if the address match with the ones you intended to send to?

in blockchair,
Last seen receiving: —
Balance: 0.00000000 BTC
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1ELT1z7RMVZkUXMvPToBXfh79..........

same with the other one

its been two days since i made two transactions, sending 400 btc to a single wallet address and 0.35856000 btc to the other. those two transactions still unconfirmed up to this time. is this normal? i paid 0.00054440 BTC fee for the 400 btc and 0.00025040 btc to the other. what should i do? do i have just to wait for the confirmations? by the way, opening wallet eg vps_wallet.dat works. the only problem to me is the confirmation.

You'll need to check the debug.log file in the Bitcoin Core "datadir" to see if you can identify the error... it's just a text file, so you should be able to open with any text editor like Notepad++ (or even windows Notepad).

You could try posting as much of the end of that file as you can on pastebin.com and then link the unique generated pastebin URL here.

Additionally, you might want to check the Windows Event Viewer (Press "Start", Type: Event Viewer), then look under "Windows Logs" -> "Application"... and have a hunt through the list for "Errors" relating to Bitcoin-qt.

Hopefully, one or both of those logs will give the reason why it keeps crashing when it is attempting to load the vps_wallet.dat.

Using Bitcoin Core v0.19 on your Windows 10 machine, it should be as simple as:

1. Copy wallet.dat from VPS to Windows 10 Bitcoin Core datadir, but name it to something other than "wallet.dat"... eg. rename the copy to vps_wallet.dat
2. Run Bitcoin Core on your Windows 10 machine and let it fully sync.
3. Once fully synced, use "File -> Open Wallet -> vps_wallet.dat"

Bitcoin Core will then open and rescan the new wallet automatically. NOTE: it might take a looooong time for the rescan to finish.

Once finished, you should be able to see all the transactions/balance of vps_wallet.dat and be able to spend them (assuming that the vps_wallet.dat actually contains private keys)

i tried "File -> Open Wallet -> vps_wallet.dat"

ive tried several times actually

where should i put eg vps_wallet.dat file? in bitcoin core program files or in my bitcoin core files wallet folder?

You should put it in the bitcoin core files wallet folder (where the other wallet.dat file is on your Windows machine)

can i send bitcoins via ubuntu linux rpc VPS directly to any bitcoin address? what should i put in my bitcoin conf in my vps rpc to be able to send bitcoins directly there if it's possible?

I don't see why you can't just send the bitcoins directly from the VPS, if all you want is to just move them. I don't think you need to put anything into the bitcoin.conf file on the vps... you just use one of the various methods for creating/sending transactions... like the sendtoaddress rpc command. refer: https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/0.18.0/rpc/wallet/sendtoaddress/

Hi, did you try my method. The location to put the wallet.dat file is C:/users/Your username/Appdata/Roaming/Bitcoin/wallets. This is location for win. Bitcoin's data folder will open. For most users, this is the following locations:

C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin (Vista and win 8,10)

i will give one bitcoin to the method that will work. give me step by step instructions starting from my only files were in my ubuntu linux rpc with installed bitcoin core 0.18.0 running in VPS. what i need to know is how to transfer the bitcoins from that vps to my desktop pc win 10 x64 bitcoin core 0.18.0 wallet and spend it.

Copy your wallet.dat file from the directory in your VPS, save it on your cloud keeping it password protected or use a new service. You will have your coins in your PC after you replace your wallet.dat file with the one you will have in your PC after installing bitcoin core in it. Rescan after this, wait for the Blockchain to download completely and then you can spend your BTC by using the "Send" feature in the wallet.

Note: You can only see your spendable coins after the whole Blockchain 'till the block your coins were stored from, in your wallet', is downloaded.

there's a backup wallet option in the file menu of bitcoin qt. then you simply place the backup file in a directory of it's own on the other PC and when you run bitcoin qt for the first time there it'll ask you to set the location of the data dir so you point it to that directory. then wait for it to download and verify the blockchain.

i follow your instructions above but halfway through it, my internet connection dropped. i carried my pc literally to another location and proceeded. is it ok to do that? does it affect to my wallet like seeds or whatever it is?

-snip- After doing all these is there any possibilities that my balance won't show after rescan? rescan still in progress. what do you suggest if the btc balance still wont appear to my bitcoin core win10 x64 wallet. If so, please break everything down for me step by step so that i can do it properly. thank you

If your W10 PC's Bitcoin Core isn't fully synced, there's a chance that the balance wont show.
But if it was synced, you can just proceed to send your Bitcoins after finishing rescan.
Based from your screenshot, it looks good and just a few blocks away.

If you want to ~~use~~know the "alternative" that I've mentioned above, it's about using dumpwallet command to get the "extended private master key" or private keys then import them to Electrum:

Start 'Bitcoin-qt' as administrator, then open 'window->console'
Enter dumpwallet keys.txt (you can change 'keys' into any name that you want)
Go to the installation directory of your Bitcoin core and find "keys.txt", open it and find something like "# extended private masterkey: xprv****" or the addresses' private keys, list of strings that start with 'K' or 'L'.
Download Electrum Windows Stand-alone Executable from electrum.org

|

Now you have two options, if your addresses starts with '1', you can use the xprv: Open Electrum and create a new wallet using the option: "Standard wallet->Use a master key", paste your master private key and create the wallet.
If your addresses starts with '3' or 'bc1', you'll need to import each prv keys to electrum using the option "Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys" by pasting each keys per line using:
p2wpkh-p2sh:YOUR_Private_key if your addresses starts with '3'
p2wpkh:YOUR_Private_key if your addresses starts with 'bc1'

have you noticed that i did input the command rescanblockchan twice? i did rescan again. can i cancel the second rescan? is it safe to do that?

here's what i did. i backed up my ubuntu json rpc bitcoin core 0,18.0 wallet.dat and downloaded it using winscp to my windows 64 bit pc. i change the existing wallet.dat file of my bitcoin core windows 64 %appdata% folder in wallet with the one i downloaded from rpc. i then started bitcoin core 0.18.0 in my win10 64 pc using 'C:\Program Files\Bitcoin>bitcoin-qt.exe" -rescan,After the force rescan i input the passphrase and the system accepted it. and i also put gettxoutsetinfo and rescan it. my question is. After doing all these is there any possibilities that my balance won't show after rescan? rescan still in progress. what do you suggest if the btc balance still wont appear to my bitcoin core win10 x64 wallet. If so, please break everything down for me step by step so that i can do it properly. thank you
