Title: Blockchain - Transaction rejected Max number in single transaction Post by: herbie136 on April 15, 2016, 04:14:14 PM Currently using Electrum 2.6.4 and tried to deposit some coins on an exchange to sell - 1st couple of test with small amounts worked ok but when I tried to transfer a larger amount Blockchain.info shows the block as being rejected with the following reason.
Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: The Maximum number of inputs in a single transaction is 250 https://blockchain.info/tx/c97465132872b3acf3b57ff8e6fa26a795ead75fd8ac840789d056edcdcd8d75 My wallet is showing as pending with the transaction with no confirmations so I can't try again as it says I have insufficient funds. Will my wallet claim the coins back or will they sit in limbo and I've lost them? Any help and advise welcomed :-) Title: Re: Blockchain - Transaction rejected Max number in single transaction Post by: shorena on April 15, 2016, 04:43:37 PM I found it on my node, cant post the raw TX though because the board says:
Quote The message exceeds the maximum allowed length (64000 characters). Its a 177kbyte TX. I put it here -> http://pastebin.com/VDTvHkXq If you paid a good fee, it will get confirmed. Here is the decoded version if anyone wants to check on the fees -> http://pastebin.com/APi8Nz9Y Title: Re: Blockchain - Transaction rejected Max number in single transaction Post by: herbie136 on April 15, 2016, 04:49:53 PM I paid 0.0008902 transaction fee
So does that mean I just have to wait and it will eventually go through? Cheers Title: Re: Blockchain - Transaction rejected Max number in single transaction Post by: shorena on April 15, 2016, 04:58:59 PM I paid 0.0008902 transaction fee So does that mean I just have to wait and it will eventually go through? Cheers With that fee? I dont think so. Thats 89k satoshi for 177kbyte of TX data. I dont think any miner will stuff that in a block without a larger reward. Wait 24 hours, restore the wallet from seed (is there another way to rescan for electrum?) and send again with a significant higher fee. I would suggest at least 177*1000*50 satoshi. Might as would round it up to 0.1 BTC. btw. where did you get the coins from, faucets? Edit: Just another thing I though about. You can not even hope to have a high enough priority because the TX is significantly over the default space for "free TX" of 50kbyte (meant for several TX, not just a single one). I have no way to check the inputs right now besides writing a script that does so and not enough time to do so, but I suspect that even though you are sending a total of close to 5BTC (with some small change) the majority of inputs are very small. If you have received large (in btc value) TX in the past and a high number of faucet (or otherwise small) payments, ditch the faucet payments[1] and just use the larger inputs. You can do so by using the "send from" feature. [1] I might buy the wallet with only the small inputs left at a reasonable discount at a later date.

it nearly 24 hours now - so will wait couple more hours and will try to restore from Seed. Thanks for your help :-) Title: Re: Blockchain - Transaction rejected Max number in single transaction Post by: shorena on April 15, 2016, 05:11:06 PM Betarigs, nicehash, clevermining - plus different exchanges from trading various alt coins.

Gotta go now, would appreciate updates how this turned out.

Still showing as pending with no confirmation..... Title: Re: Blockchain - Transaction rejected Max number in single transaction Post by: herbie136 on April 16, 2016, 03:23:53 PM Thanks to JM on irc ;D
Switch Electrum server - waited until sync finished and coin back in my wallet. |
