Title: Unconfirmed transaction since 3 days, bitcoin core v0.10.2
Post by: pajak666 on September 17, 2015, 01:43:58 PM
I am using bitcoin core v0.10.2
I've made two transactions but none of them are confirmed.
One is stuck for 3 days.

One of them after some time displayed this message at blockchain.info

Until now none of them is confirmed.

What will happen with them? will they eventually be confirmed? will they be credited back to my wallet? can I push them in any way?
HALP!

i think these transactions did not confirmed because there is no mining fees was paid for them
i did this before and the transaction took about day to be confirmed

indeed... The mining fee was a bit less than average... Just wait and it'll be OK :)

the transaction sent with very very little fee amount ( 0.00000225 BTC ) (recomended is 0.0001BTC)
it will be confirmed soon you just need to wait
if you sent it with the recomended fee it will be confirmed less than 20 minitues

Yup the two transactions are still confirmed because they have a low fee rate. But since OP is using bitcoin core, the wallet will not drop the unconfirmed transactions but will keep rebroadcasting them to the network, and the "it will be paid back to you" part is not true.

Thats just how bitcoin core as a wallet works. It rebroadcasts the transactions from time to time to make sure the network does not forget about it. It is a usefull feature in most cases.

@OP if you want to prune the unconfirmed TX from the wallet launch bitcoin core with -zapwallettxes=1 this will remove all unconfrmed TX from it and might take a while. Wait a few days for the rest of the network to forget as well. Do not skip this part, if you create a new TX while your old TX are still around you could make it worse. After at least 48 hourse (counting from zapping the TX) you should be fine to create a new TX with a higher fee.

adding zapwallettxes=1 to the bitcoin.conf file indeed removed those transactions, guess I'll remove this additional line after it will finish rescan. TYVM

Good to hear. Its perfectly fine to keep threads open. Someone might run into a very similar problem in the future and have follow up questions.
