Title: Getting back unconfirmed coins Post by: trikster on March 12, 2016, 03:19:11 PM Hey, i'm new to bitcoins and i really appreciate your help.
So here's what happened. I had to send bitcoins for a game i want to buy. I did set transaction fee to 0.0005 BTC but i did not uncheck the "Send as zero-fee transaction if possible" box. I thought bt core will try sending bitcoins for free a few times and then send it with a fee but apparently that's not how it works. It's been ~24h now and from what i read in this forum it might never confirm because my fee is 0BTC :-[ Is there anything i can do to get them back? Thank you for your help. Here's the transaction info: https://blockchain.info/tx/e3b13756536bdb6c9cced7a11f4eded688ad68b65b6002d3b5c2b0eba1f39bc2 Title: Re: Getting back unconfirmed coins Post by: achow101 on March 12, 2016, 03:29:09 PM Hey, i'm new to bitcoins and i really appreciate your help. Shut down Bitcoin Core. Then wait a few days and check the block explorers for that transaction. Check multiple block explorers like blockchain.info, blocktrail.com, and blockcypher.com. After a few days the transaction should be dropped from the network and then you should be able to spend the Bitcoin again.So here's what happened. I had to send bitcoins for a game i want to buy.
