Topic: Transaction not found when accelerating with VIABtc? HELP please! - page 2. (Read 1154 times)

Yeah I got paid by somebody and he's trusted because I'm paid few times. The wallet I'm using is Coins.ph, and I have received bitcoins from him with this wallet for my simple tasks.

Never trust any "payment" until it has at least one confirmation.
Then you'll have much less to worry about.
This is the first rule on receiving Bitcoin payments, really.

It doesn't exist in my mempool either... So i dug a little deeper:
618fd46987cf54d8b61f05408708962fcb60a4a21f574f8a5a01106298f3c5a4
depends on unconfirmed inputs that were generated by
966d9a0be165593850e90e1c42adbfdf1a475b893a617425dfa0eb0af81dca88 which inputs are double spent by a4f76f6c820e8ed7dab4ab09939d77993c7c7365ca13a56c544937791619d53c

ViaBTC's node rejects transactions double spending inputs (as does my node), so viabtc didn't have transaction 966d9a0be165593850e90e1c42adbfdf1a475b893a617425dfa0eb0af81dca88 in its mempool (since it double spends inputs), so when it received your transaction it was rejected because the inputs were not in the UTXO set (they were not in the utxo set because the parent transaction was rejected)...

This one is actually pretty hard to crack... Can you tell me a bit about what happened? Were this transactions between your own wallets, or did you get payed by somebody? Did you use escrow? Was it a trusted person/service? What kind of wallet are you using???

On the bright side, transaction 966d9a0be165593850e90e1c42adbfdf1a475b893a617425dfa0eb0af81dca88 has a higher fee than transaction a4f76f6c820e8ed7dab4ab09939d77993c7c7365ca13a56c544937791619d53c (altough difference is minimal), so you have little higher odds your parent transaction might eventually confirm... On the other end, if a4f76f6c820e8ed7dab4ab09939d77993c7c7365ca13a56c544937791619d53c would end up in a block, you'd have 0 chance of getting a confirmation...

Your transaction's input comes from another transaction which is not confirmed yet. That's why ViaBTC doesn't "see" it.

Hi there!

I was paid for my task and I tried to accelerate my transaction with VIABtc to my Coins.PH wallet, but it says that transaction doesn't exist. 24 hours and still not found.

https://blockchain.info/tx/618fd46987cf54d8b61f05408708962fcb60a4a21f574f8a5a01106298f3c5a4

Can anyone help how to resolve this? I'm starting to worry if my other upcoming payments will be having the same issue.

Thanks in advance!
