Becoming legend, but I took merit to the knee :(

They will probably be forgotten together.  When the first one is forgotten, the second one will probably no longer be valid, so it will be dropped from mempools as well.


Thanks for reply Smiley What happens with the second transaction if the first got confirmed? How does it look like, if the transaction appears in the blockchain and be forget afterwards? Can I see something under the TXID, when the transaction were forget?

For now, your first tx can still be found on some relay nodes, which also means it is still in the global mempool. If somehow your tx with so low fees get mined (which seems pretty much not possible at least for another 25 blocks), the same would apply to your second tx if it is still broadcasted by some nodes.

If you tx id ends up getting dropped of the global mempool, it should no longer be searchable even with full indexed nodes. Your second tx should also be forgotten along with it.

Ultimately if both are forgotten, your btcs would be spendable again.

Is it possible to receive bitcoins via the adress where the transaction is not confirmed? Or do I have to wait the three days so that the transaction is forget in the mempool?

Yes, you can receive, but if you try to send before the network forgets the old transactions (or they are confirmed) then your sent transactions may not be relayed.

EDIT: Another question: What happens with the second transaction? When the first transaction will be forget will the second transaction be confirmed afterwards?

Hey,

the following transaction (f41422f60e532d6971afb59678b4210bf079d97eeb6d7e609df0ef491d4f685d) is stucking in the network since yesterday. It was a payment to Bitpay and I choosed the fee to low. So my order on the page where I wanted to buy canceled my order, so it is okay.

I tried to do a second transaction to another adress, but I doesn't go through as well. Even the transaction id did not appeare in the blockchain.

Now I decided to hope that the network forgett about the transaction so I shoted down my wallet. I cleared my wallet with the -zapwallettxes command so the transaction is not in my wallet anymore.

Is it possible to receive bitcoins via the adress where the transaction is not confirmed? Or do I have to wait the three days so that the transaction is forget in the mempool?

Thanks for your help Smiley

EDIT: Another question: What happens with the second transaction? When the first transaction will be forget will the second transaction be confirmed afterwards? This (c5135d88d350afb700bde3e4d6eaf24403367a1353f6d64d77c3dc32ce03401e) would be the ID of the second transaction, but you can not find it in the network.
