Topic: Stuck Bitcoin-QT Transaction? (Read 1495 times)

Whoops, I got your transaction mixed up with OP's. Not enough caffeine. Anyway, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that transaction as far as I can tell; blockchain.info just hates you, I guess.

Yes this is the right transaction.

I think that's the wrong transaction. That's transaction ID 1da82bcaa7be41ca4c0c3fbc0fd35adc8d855e3af40be19323889fc41453a4a8, sending BTC0.1 to 1PZLhvDs8S7rhq349DHFjuXs2smSEttNUJ. In any case, my node had no problem pushing it. There's no fee, but none is needed (if you don't mind waiting a long time for confirmations), and all inputs are confirmed and not double-spent. I've no idea why blockchain.info seems to hate it.

Paste the string here so we can take a look at it and let you know what the problem is.

I am having same issue, but when I paste the string in PusTX, it returns:
What shoud I do?

Okay. Cool.

I had the same issue - 5 hr and waiting for a sizable transcation + fee.  I followed these instructions and the transaction went through.   

Thanks for the response DannyHamilton, that was good advice. I also got similarly good advice on Reddit -- if it helps anyone down the road:

Open bitcoin-qt
Click help/debug window
Open the console tab
Type getrawtransaction 7295099e476cd9e4b64a2ac51e6e76ec55cf06afc59a2358bf84af9ac01a41b4
This will dump a big string, paste in into blockchain.info/pushtx page and press send.

Thanks again!!!

You are getting a lot of bad advice from people who are just making random guesses.  They don't understand what is happening any more than you do.  Following advice from someone that doesn't understand the problem and is just making random guesses is a great way to waste time, and can be a good way to lose money as well.

The transaction still exists in your wallet, but it is no longer visible on the bitcoin network.  If your wallet is connected to peers and has synchronized the blockchain, then the next most likely reason for this would be that the wallet created a transaction that is no longer valid.  This can happen if the wallet attempts to spend the "change" from a transaction before the change creating transaction is confirmed.

To get a better idea of what has happened, issue the following command in the "Console" of the "Debug Window" under the "Help" menu:


Then post the result here.  This will get the original transaction from your wallet in the "raw" format that is typically broadcast to all peers in the bitcoin network.

We will then be able to decode that to find out what inputs the transaction is attempting to spend.  We can look those inputs up on the blockchain and find out why the transaction is no longer valid, and how you ended up with this problem.

give it some time, check back tommorow and see what happens

Just wait 24 hours. Your BTC will be returned.

Try waiting a few more hours.

Sync finished soon thereafter but transaction is still stuck at broadcast thru 9 nodes...

Wait the synchro and you will see if the transaction was cancelled or will proceed

I get the error "transaction not found". It should be returned to your account soon.

I sent this out as my wallet was syncing, and now it seems to be stuck. The info on it is:

Status: 0/unconfirmed, broadcast through 9 nodes
Date: 2/23/14 11:18
To: 16sUE8RhUm2XqN6EYn8HiQzE3w5FiXrJrS
Debit: -1.00 BTC
Net amount: -1.00 BTC
Transaction ID: 7295099e476cd9e4b64a2ac51e6e76ec55cf06afc59a2358bf84af9ac01a41b4

Doesn't show up in Blockchain.info... Not broadcast to enough nodes I guess? I'm guessing I can't cancel this, so is there any way to rebroadcast, or... I'm hoping this coin isn't lost?

Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.
