Topic: UnConfirmed, PAID Transaction, BTCore Wallet shows TX but not on blockchain (Read 316 times)

Thanks for the help. I was gonna do what you suggested. Guess what I saw the BTC in the other account both tx confirmed and got transferred . I don't know how but with all these missing input stuff it still went through.

I guess I learned my lesson , don't use the custom transaction fee while bitcoin is so hot with millions of transfers on the internet.

Thanks for all help again. hopefully this post will help others too.

Personally, I would probably try this:

1. Shutdown Bitcoin Core
2. add walletbroadcast=0 to the bitcoin.conf file to stop your wallet rebroadcasting these transactions
3. Start Bitcoin Core
4. Right click on the transactions and try: "Abandon Transaction"

If that works, it should "give" you the BTC back and you can then attempt to create a new transaction with a "proper" fee

NOTE: You'll probably need to shut down Bitcoin Core again, remove the walletbroadcast line from your bitcoin.conf file and then restart Bitcoin Core again to be able to send your transaction out

Right now I have 0 BTC in my PC wallet , I don't have another 0.5 BTC anywhere to re create another transaction. both TX still show up on my Bitcoin core.
I don't know how to recreate the failed TX by the way. If I need to have some BTC to recreate , I guess I can get it from friends transferred to my wallet. Like I said I still don't know how to resend or recreate same tx.

Thanks

I replied your post in someone else's thread, quoted above
can't you re-create the transaction with Bitcoin Core wallet? both are removed from bc.info
if you can't broadcast from your wallet, push it to bc.info or other nodes accepting pushtx

Thank you now I get it. My transaction with 1 sat was only for testing , I had no freakin idea my previous tx would cause a problem like that. So I need to wait for that previous tx to drop or clear then the second big one will process somehow or wait to drop.

So my main goal is getting rid of that first TX right ?

Edit: Can Btc.com help me with that stuck min fee tx , they want $74 for it ? Does it make it worse doing this for the first small transaction?

I really have the same problem,

BitCore wallet is stuck with a transaction with low fees and my option for change fees was not selected so I am kinda screwed ....

all my other transactions are stuck behind the 1st one...

I tried viabtc and also asked f2pool admin to push the transaction .... and then I am still waiting ...


It is very hard to find when the transaction will be forgotten by the network ... It is supposed to be 72 hr but it's already more then that and my transaction still there ..

the other option would be to do a double spent but I have no experience with that and I am really not sure about the procedure.

looks like I have to run bitcore offline then spend again the same amount but not too sure about that and how the network will reach.

Anyone can help me on that ..

it would be really appreciated

thanks

Ok... once again... one of the coins you are trying to spend is UNCONFIRMED... and the transaction creating it does not appear to have propagated well... this missing transaction with the missing coin has a fee of 1 sat/byte... hence why it hasn't confirmed and seems to have been dropped by most of the network.

Your current transaction with the large size and the 71 sat/byte fee CANNOT be confirmed until this missing transaction is confirmed.

At this stage, your best bet is to just wait until ALL your transactions are dropped... "abandon transaction" and/or zapwallettxes and then start all over again.

Ok Back to my own post... Sorry for my worry.

I actually have no idea how to do double spend or child pays for parent stuff.
Currently I have 0BTC in my bitcoin core. Should I transfer btc to my pc wallet to make another TX for this?

I have a gdax or coinbase account , can I use them for this purpose ? or should I create another bitcoin core wallet on another computer ?

I see people trying to send btc with min fee and they still show up online as unconfirmed , I used 70sat/B but not sure why this happened.

I would love to get some guidance, I can gladly pay your help too. Thanks alot

as HCP explained in another thread (quoted above), the chained unconfirmed tx with 1s/B might be the problem
I suggest you should just try to double spend or use other wallet to create new tx
it should be easy to do double spend attempt since the tx doesn't get propagated well 

So rescan did not work. I have 0 BTC and my latest transaction showed up again.

I also have a wallet backup from 2 days ago before I did the transfer , does restoring that helps ?

Thanks

Try rescan... and if that doesn't work... restore your wallet.dat

Should I use the rescan option ? I don't see my btc

So I did all, backed up all that, all transactions are gone.

My wallet still shows 0 BTC in all available pending and total .
 
What should I do next ?

Thanks

This is why I said "make a backup of the wallet.dat"

-zapwallettxes just removes ALL the locally stored transactions in your wallet.dat file (if you have a backup, then you can always put it back if something doesn't go right). It should then "rescan" the blockchain and find all the confirmed transactions and your balance should be updated accordingly.

NOTE: if you are running in "pruned" mode... rescan will redownload all 150+ gigs.

Thank you for your reply, I saw this online but I was not sure if I should do it or not.

Right now my btcore wallet show 0 btc available, and the invalid transaction but my blockchain record shows I still have 0.5 btc .

Is there a risk running this command ? after applying this, do you think my btc will show up again on the available section ? Thank you very much

It seems some of your inputs have already been spent... I attempted to broadcast this transaction and got: "Missing inputs (code -25)" Because those inputs are now "missing" (ie. confirmed in other transactions), this transaction is no longer valid. I would suggest the following:

- Make sure Bitcoin Core is fully synced.
- Shutdown Bitcoin Core.
- Make a backup of the wallet.dat
- Start Bitcoin Core using -zapwallettxes command

It should remove ALL transactions from your wallet, then rescan the blockchain for "confirmed" transactions that relate to your wallet addresses. Once it has finished, you should see all your "confirmed" coins... and this "impossible" transaction should no longer appear.

You can then shut down Bitcoin Core and restart normally (ie. WITHOUT the -zapwallettxes command).

I understand paying low fees will result unconfirmed TX but my case is different.

Bitcoin Core wallet shows tx, shows the fee I'm paying, but I cant track it on blockchain, it only shows up on Blockcypher without a fee and and very low confidence.

I used the CUSTOM Transaction fee section in transfers page. did not put the minimum.
My calculation should be fine I believe, 0.0049BTC fee should be 497,000 satoshi so divided by 6977 bytes gives 71 satoshi per byte . Please let me know if I am doing something wrong here.

It has been a day with no tracking nor confirmations.

Should I cancel the transaction ? ( abandon transaction is grayed out ) . I backed up my wallet before doing the transaction . Using Bitcoin Core version v0.15.0.1 (64-bit) on windows 7.

Not sure it is a wallet problem or if I did something wrong. Wallet show 0 BTC now , so can I just cancel this without losing the btc.

Thanks Alot for help .
And sorry if it a duplicate post, I couldn't find one similar.
