Title: Re: Bitcoin - Previous Tx is Unspendable error!
Post by: Icicle2 on May 20, 2016, 10:41:38 PM
I'm having the same problem - "Previous Tx is unspendable"

From 1Jig98ukzPTxzGU9bGTfxB9fqwe3rKcDtb which is my Blockchain wallet address for receiving newly mined coins from Eligius.

Sending to 1DrZjFeT6ajM4WBEfTgDobtm1Ee7hy8sfP

Any help appreciated!

In your case it's likely to be an issue with bc.i. Contact their support. Create a new separate thread if it turns out not to be an error from their side.

Are you waiting for "block maturity" ?
If at least one of your inputs doesn't have 100+ confirmations you can't spend it.

I think Longbob is onto something.

The latest incoming was two days ago, but there are smaller amounts in my wallet that`have been there a couple of weeks and it seems I can't spend any of it.

If Eligius was sending double spent coins, I'd not be the only one complaining.

I think in the case of double spending some services will be able to tell you where those bitcoins went, at least you can check the address that sent you the unspendable coins.

And I still don't have a solution to this. Apart from using a different wallet and pointing my miners well away from Eligius. Blockchain.info aren't responding.

You can import the address to another wallet and try to spend the bitcoins from the new wallet.

Also I advise you to do just that I had a problem and after I imported it disappeared ;)

Thanks guys!

When did you have a problem, Shotev? Since the new interface upgrade?

So, trying to import my stuff to Electrum but I need the private keys. I can't find the export option anywhere on the site since that recent redesign.

Might start a pool soon on how long till blockchain.info announces a 'hack' :( Possibly bit early, but their support is going a bit Intersango, if you know what I mean. All I've had out of them this past week is one copy and paste and a bit of mansplaining.

FWIW the error message has changed to "can't get a transaction lock".

follow the instructions written there to get the private key.

that google doc was provided by blockchain.info, btw. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1473314.msg14860686#msg14860686)
