Bitcoin Forum

So I saw the Bitcoin price dropping yet again so I figured I should transfer it to Gemini just in case it really started to tank. But my stupid fat fingers accidentally hit the "send without transaction tax" option and now my bitcoins are floating in space on the interwebs all by their lonesome. It's been 8 hours. I read somewhere that it can take up to 3 days if i'm correct? Well lesson learned, turn on the light and have some coffee before messing with my phone.  ;D

3-5 days as far as I know , but there is nothing to worry about . If it doesn't get confirmed (which should be the case) you will get your bitcoins back eventually .

yup, not a huge deal really, I realized I did it almost immediately after and said "nnnoooooo", then I laughed and went back to bed. I have the worst luck, every time the price rises or falls my funds seem to get tied up.

there should be an option for automatic fee  in your wallet in the phone, i don't know how they work exactly(i don't hold bitcoin on my phone)but they should not be so much different than desktop wallet in that regard

You'll be ok. It will find its way trust me!  ;D

No worries about Bitcoins! They will get the target and you will see them in your gemini wallet in around 3 days.

In some wallets is option to add transaction fee. I don't use phone wallet so not sure if i can help you with that. But im sure that if you look for some thread here on Bitcointalk about your wallet, someone there will help you..

Hopefully, that will not happen anything terrible with Bitcoin price, while your BTC is traveling ;)

Use those bitcoins to buy a smartphone with a bigger screen, it will allow your "fat fingers" to hit the key you want ;)

Might suck as you have no control over them for a while, but it will be fine.

Can also just happen within a day. I think it depends on the traffic and the volume for that day. Last time I sent money with a much lower fees than 0.0001 BTC , it got confirmed in 5 hours.

OK, first at all ... NO WALLET emit bitcoin without fees except when you hit 3 buttons to ask this.  ::)
Don't be a fat ... speak freely : you don't want pay fees. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img908/709/ia0JRO.gif

Just to add, don't worry, I don't think we will go much lower than this price wise!

Good thing that you didn't exchange your bits into fiat. I guess bitcoin is trying to send a message. HODL until 10k+ flip flop zip zap ding dong.

I guess I'm an older guy here, and as such, I will never do anything financial on a touchscreen. I've been banking online for more than 10 years, but always at home, with a keyboard. Doing it otherwise just spells trouble. Don't do it, and you'll be safe.

Why not? What's the risk, it's basically what you'd do on your computer. Online banking is just as risky, what does touchscreen really change? I think that's being a little bit old school for old school's sake!

Can you please post the Tx ID ?

that sucks  :(, ive heard it takes around 1 day but ive never really witnessed it, also you mind telling us the wallet you were using?

Funny thing about this is that I have a very large screen as I own the Galaxy S6 Edge PLUS. The problem was I had just woke up and had yet to drink my coffee and I hate the wrong button and didn't read the confirmation prompt, it was my fault entirely. There is no excuse for not being able to see it on this screen. I blame the curved screen, ya, it's the screens fault.

Here's my baby floating just off Ghana : https://blockchain.info/tx/5510f098fc1758fd80cbd2b4d581012a85824a9b059194398e812e7a2a78d905?show_adv=true


BlockChain, I just started using it and was not use to the UI at all. I'm use to the TAX being deducted automatically from whatever I'm sending. I'm sure there is a way to set it up to do that I just need to figure it out.

 

I was under the impression that blockchain.info does not let you push transaction with 0/low fees, don't know how you were able to do it. There are ways to re-broadcast the transaction with added fee but it requires a bit of knowledge and a computer and I don't think you'd be able to achieve it.

Earlier the transaction like these would ultimately get confirmed but with recent spam attacks I think the miners have set parameters to avoid low/0 fee transactions.

Depends on the size of the transaction and the age of the Coins
Rough calculations can be made from that, all said and done it will get there but in case your curious
priority = sum(input_value_in_base_units * input_age)/size_in_bytes

Yes that sucks, I once send 0.02 to someone and I copy and pasted the address from a email he send me, and I only copied part of the address, because I was in a hurry. It warned me that the address was wrong, and I checked it quickly and just added the last number and clicked send. Not seeing that the last number was on the next line.

It completed the address and I send it to the dump site for idiots. Some day, some lucky bugger will pick up some free coins, when he generates that address. Lesson learned, do not do financial transactions when you just woke up. 

Normally when you send it just sends, but I was sending everything that I had on the phone, so a message popped up with options, i'm assuming to tell me I didn't have the coins to cover the transaction. In the bitcoin wallet for example it gives you an option to subtract the tax from the amount your sending, I was half asleep and assumed that is what it was asking me, instead I hit "send with no fee" Or whatever the option is called. The wallet is empty now so I have no way to test it. It was a mistake.


LOL, I was half alseep, I honestly don't know what I was pressing, I know what I thought I was pressing. And as far as me being cheap and purposely doing it, the tax is like what? A few cents, no one is that cheap, lol. At least I hope not. lol

Ok. I can get this Tx confirmed if you can provide me the private key of 1BmX3a6d8aHSwRf4v6Qr5JPAh1dHRPMFdQ. The amount sent to 16QrqBH98NRsqF47hWzmKMnMJHbWXZ4DyG will be 0.2415 BTC and Tx fee will be 0.00017125 BTC. You may let me know if you want to send to any other address instead of this. Before you provide me the private key, I'm willing to escrow 0.24167125 BTC to some reputed escrow on this forum. Once you tell me the private key of this address, you must also make sure that you wont use 1BmX3a6d8aHSwRf4v6Qr5JPAh1dHRPMFdQ ever again in future.

You have heard that it can takes up to 3 days but I have heard that they can remain in air for to many more days. No one have interest to give confirmations to your bitcoins without earnings its "work" fee. Must be some generous person which will accept those and can make possible that your own again those. So you must pray to be someone such. Otherwise maybe you can have again your bitcoins even after months.

The should be an option to add an automatic fee. Either way you should start to see confirmation soon

I don't trust my bitcoin on my phone. Too many seedy apps. At least you learned a lesson :)

Well if worse comes to worst he can try to push txt the transaction to the network and have it rebroadcast again on a node to speed it up as he does have the tx to do it

It's not usually done on small transactions but it does help sometimes with mid-size ones like the one he posted.
http://blog.blockchain.com/2014/07/08/tutorial-how-to-rebroadcast-a-bitcoin-transaction/

Nope. Most miners do actually mine free transactions but it is quite hard. Your transaction needs to have enough coin age and be small in size. You need to also make sure that the miners have knowledge of your transactions. Most nodes have a limit on their free transaction and it can get dropped from mempool if not rebroadcast often but you could spend it again if that's so.

No worries, you ll get them confirmed or back in a couple of days. However, I would suggest you do not make such hasty decisions about buying and selling unless you re a day trader.
Real investors are extremely patient and crypto s still very volatile goods.

I think we better suggest anyone to NOT deciding any trading upon waking up, especially before coffee ;D
Not only that our sleepy eyes will open to a great chance of mistakes, but also (I think) our your logic hasn't been completely waking up.


And about the money that floating freely on space, I suggest you to just wait for it to be sent back to your wallet as the to-the-moon euphoria has slightly suppressed

So my coins arrived at Gemini, and Gemini is offline for maintenance. LOL, the Universe doesn't want me having access to my coins, Although I do see the price has rebounded nicely, so maybe the Universe likes me.  ;D

All I can say is that that was very unfortunate. Your Bitcoins will be stuck in transaction-land for 3+ days. After that, you will get all your Bitcoins back. I don't even why there was an option for no fees. Whatever Bitcoin service you are using is pretty stupid.

You are just extremely unlucky man. At lease you got your coins back, that was the main problem and now it is solved.

Yeah, that was so unfortunate. But why do you keep smiling even tho you're in an unlucky situation?

Maybe someone in 1 million years or so ;),

What wallet are you using out of interest, im using mycelium and as far as im aware there is no option to send without a fee. i used one before that looked kind of like bitcoin core but for android but imo id say mycelium is better since your forced to write down the word seed and not lose any bitcoin if the catastrophicwas to occur.

I would never do any kind of important transaction under a phone, only if the amount of money is not enough to be a tragedy to lose. It's really easy to miss-click with phones, they are shit to be honest, nothing better than a mouse to do this kind of stuff. I would never go into an exchange in a portable device

Don't worry OP. You'll basically get your BTC back after 2-5 days if they don't confirm (they won't).

In fact it is a bit odd that your smartphone bitcoin wallet doesn't have a button to do just that. but don't worry, it can get some time for those bitcoins to find their way, but they eventually will. anayways, next time check it twice

Why would you panic sell?  Thats what i dont get?

Well you can't time the market, I don't get why you tried to short when selling Bitcoin is always a mistake. Also isn't RBF already operative? (replace by fee), you could look into that. I have never used it yet.

You do not have to worry. Everything will turn out fine. I understand that feeling as the same kind of thing happened to me

This happens with people. Sometimes people due to their urgency also end up with such difficulties.
Better to use in the desktop or laps which will be better

Sorry I didn't have time to go through all the posts, but which Android app allows you to "send without fee"? Just want to find out since I always wanting to do that but all other wallets will need at least 100 bits as fee...

Lol really you got the point, even I was thinking so without fees how come it happened may be there is system failure, but really big question how come it happened any way if we receive the money back than its not the problem it will make us wait for 3 to 5 days .

global MMM ,, just to do a task , you can get 100% monthly interest is growing every day ,

Please let us know the terms and conditions to apply, if its with or without adding any signature campaign.

well that a little sad. How much did you lose. Any way dont worry i think it take 3-7 days. It will probably just float back to you.  :) :) :)

of course you don't want to pay fees just like the rest of us  ;D
but was wondering if returning the btc back to your wallet is considered a transaction still and won't it ask fees for returning it back to your wallet?

A lot of people has been complaining about the transactions and confirmation times.
I'm probably luck because my transactions have been going on without much delay.

Yup don't just click without enough visual, If you consider it will be better than having your bitcoin being lost and send to a wrong address... Anyway it should take a day or a little more to confirm and it may get cancelled if the size is small...
