Title: please help me with my bitcoin-qt frozen transactions
Post by: smaw on June 16, 2016, 03:28:54 AM
I will pay you in bitcoin if you can get my 2 transactions unfrozen. This thread describes my problem exactly. https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/frozen-transactions-why-it-happens-and-how-to-fix-it.1649/  I believe they were frozen because I tried to do transactions without paying a fee. I learned recently the hard way that fees are very important today. I have tried the 1st method of rescanning and that did not work. I have not tried the 2nd method because I need someone else to help me with rebroadcasting the transaction id.

Not need to worry the coins will be returned to you if they are not confirmed!
You can rebroadcast it yourself here is a tutorial :

This thread describes my problem exactly. https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/frozen-transactions-why-it-happens-and-how-to-fix-it.1649/  I believe they were frozen because I tried to do transactions without paying a fee.

I have not tried the 2nd method because I need someone else to help me with rebroadcasting the transaction id.

Can you give us the tx id's? That would defenately help us. There are coins that can be sent with 0 fee, while others actually need a (large) fee, but without tx id's, it's hard for us to assess the situation.

By the way, to get the tx id, it's pretty simple: you're using bitcoin-qt, so you can open the wallet, go to transactions, right click on the "frozen" transaction, copy transaction id.
In this same menu, you an also copy the raw transaction, paste it here: https://blockchain.info/pushtx and you're rebroadcasting it yourself without anybody helping you ;)

Do think about wether or not you want to be doing this... It might even be usefull for you to make sure your wallet isn't rebroadcasting the transaction itself (bitcoin core rebroadcasts automatically). That way the network can forget your transaction, and you can re-use the inputs to create an output WITH fee ;). Other options would be to keep re-broadcasting untill you're finally included in a block, or create a RBF or double spend the inputs (rather difficult if you don't have enough knowledge).

txid #1 has a double spend that has >32k confirmations.
txid #2 I didnt find any information on.

To fix your wallet:

#1 close core
#2 make sure its closed
#3 start it with -zapwallettxes (I or someone else can give you more details how to do that if you tell us the OS you are using)

alternativly (I tend to forget about that command)

instead of #1-3 use abandontransaction txidhere in the internal console for those TX that show as conflicted.

I have Windows 10. I will attempt these steps but I will probably need more help. I cannot start working on this until 11pm pacific when I get home from work. Thanks for helping me. This is really stressful thinking that I lost my money. Thanks again.

Bitcoin are not lost, they might be difficult to use thats all.

For Windows #3 is:

#3.1 open run (win + r) and enter (modify path if you installed it to a different location):
#3.2 c:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -zapwallettxes
#3.3 confirm with ok
#3.4 let bitcoin do its thing
