Title: Unconfirmed tx floating in limbo.
Post by: DM108 on March 04, 2016, 01:39:39 AM
Hi,

First i'd like to thank in advance for any help that will be given to me from this community.

On monday (without knowing that the networks were under attack by spammers) I had sent some coins from an online wallet to my electrum wallet.

The next morning the transaction showed as pending in my wallet, but when I got home from work, right before my eyes the pending transaction completely disappeared from my tx history.  The address that I had sent the coin to is in my history, but there is no tx ID whatsoever.

I searched on blockchaininfo for my tx, but I did not show up there.  It did show up on blockexplorer.com as an unconfirmed tx with the right amount sent .2837. 

The wallet address is: 1MSgyWkLYsFQqB36rbnzFrRMQAhZ8S3K7w

Its only 100 bucks or so, but 100 dollars is a 100 dollars.

I restarted electrum multiple times, updated and reinstalled it. Exported private keys and uploaded them to another client an still no luck.

Its been 3 or 4 days now since they've been stuck in limbo. I was hoping they'd just head back to the wallet I sent them from, but no luck yet.

Should I worry? Is there anything I can do to retrieve the coin?

Many thanks!

there's not much people can help you with if there's no tx ID. post it.

no, man. you said your tx showed up on blockexplorer.com so it exists. post it.

edit:
checking the address on blockexplorer shows the balance. but the tx won't load for some reason.

Which address is this? 1MSgyWkLYsFQqB36rbnzFrRMQAhZ8S3K7w Sender or Receivers ? Anyhow that address seems to be unused.There are no transactions on that address yet.Check again ,your balance should not be deducted as the transaction never happened or this is the wrong address.

That is certainly the original amount that was sent to that wallet address.

The amount has not been received yet or maybe the transaction never took place because if it was still pending, it would show up as unconfirmed transaction.Do you mind posting the address from which the money was sent ?

It had to have taken place no? Because it did show up in my electrum wallet as pending at one point.

Sadly, I do not have the address from which it was sent.

I think it may just be a mystery, unless it will eventually make its way back to the original point of withdrawal.

Thank you for your assistance.
