Post by: misterbenetnuts on October 17, 2015, 07:38:03 AM


Please, can someone help me??

My wallet is blocked since yesterday.

When I bought bitcoins on bitboat, i don't know why, but 2 operations where written on my history board, whereas i only made one (the byement of my btc's).

Since this moment, my wallet is blocked, no transaction is possible.

What can i do??? Who can i tell this to help me???

Thank you.

Do you have your seed?

If so, try to re-install Electrum... maybe it is the fastest and easiest way to recover your funds.

Your wallet may be affected by the transaction malleability attack. In which the transaction can be recorded twice as rogue nodes relay two same transaction with different TXID. One can confirm and one would not. I am not sure how electrum handles this but you can try reset the blockchain if possible or reinstall it after you have backup your private key and master seed.

I've restored my wallet from the seed but it's always blocked, from the beginning of the restorement.

How's it blocked? Do you get any kind of message stating that its blocked?

Is it possible to post a screenshot or two to help us understand how its blocked.

OP posted a screenshot on github. It turns out he is using a 2.1 version.

I do not remember how each old version behaves, and would be quite pointless to try to do so.
Thus, please update to the most recent version before you report a bug.
