Topic: Unconfirmed TX (Read 872 times)
Same thing happened to me a couple months ago, blockchain.info ended up double spending half of my wallet. The tx disappeared from the blockchain shortly after the other coins were spent causing me to lose my bet that I would have won https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:HGZ1wzYw2egJ:www.satoshidice.com/full.php%3Ftx%3D3904bd79202344eebfac0ebb5fd37d1eba80e8ccff384e00539363eeffebe3f2+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&lr=lang_ar|lang_en&client=firefox-a
Interesting - now that link reports "Transaction Not Found" and the coins are back in my blockchain.info wallet.
How's that possible?
Edit: And I just re-sent (this time including a transaction fee
)

what's the most extreme time frame this could theoretically take to confirm?

You have to be careful when asking about "extreme" cases. The answer will tend to be extreme.
For example, it is theoretically possible that bitcoin could suddenly become so popular that the blocks become continuously full forevermore. In this extreme theoretical possibility, it is theoretically possible that your transaction will never confirm for all the rest of time.
Is this likely? Probably not, but that isn't what you asked.
... cheapskate.
I know, I know. I'll admit, I didn't FORCE it to include a transaction (even tho it didn't complain about not having one when I hit SEND)
I just wanted a nice round number in my experimental ripple wallet. (2, not 1.9995 BTC) --As I sent them, I thought, "This might be educational."
Like I said, no real rush. But with that in mind, what's the most extreme time frame this could theoretically take to confirm? Especially since it seems each block is somewhat full (or even overflowing occasionally) these days ;-)
Don't try a double spend with blockchain.info. You will end up sending double the amount. Just have to wait, cheapskate.
I'm the sender. Sent from my blockchain.info wallet to my bitstamp.net account.
Since I'm not in any real hurry for the coins to confirm (they were destined for my ripple wallet) should I just wait it out? (would they confirm in a few days or a week?)
Or should I construct a double-spend?

Anything I can do to get this TX to confirm?

Are you the recipient of the payment (versus being the person who sent payment)?
If you are the recipient, perhaps you can spend the transaction (and include a fee) and a miner running "child-pays-for-parent will include it in a block.

No, there's nothing you can do short of double spending the coins and attaching a higher fee.
