Title: Re: Unconfirmed Transaction... Post by: SchmalzTech on March 14, 2013, 04:50:21 PM >:( I was moving some coin yesterday between a blockchain.info wallet and a 0.8 Windows client, and it has been in limbo unconfirmed for almost 21 hours now. Only 4 nodes has it as of now according to blockchain.info.

Post by: Definit on March 14, 2013, 04:55:13 PM my transaction isn't even found...
i made a previous transaction with the same address that went through just fine and confirmed right before i made this transaction. Several other transactions went through fine just now as well. Title: Re: Unconfirmed Transaction... Post by: SchmalzTech on March 14, 2013, 05:02:14 PM This is interesting... I just opened up my firewall and allowed the receiving wallet (which saw the transaction right away) to become a node, and now blockchain.info sees that my node has the transaction. Maybe I am helping it along now by running a node?!?!? I have a feeling this will eventually confirm... it's just taking forever. I was in the developers IRC channel last night and someone was saying that there is a backlog of transactions right now, which I take to mean that transactions with low or no fees are getting set aside for ones with higher fees until the network catches up.
Title: Re: Unconfirmed Transaction... Post by: Definit on March 14, 2013, 05:04:08 PM i hope so... this gives me a little hope....
Title: Re: Unconfirmed Transaction... Post by: SchmalzTech on March 14, 2013, 05:15:07 PM I have had txes stick before, but not like the one I am dealing with now. This is now over 20 hours, and not any that are over a couple BTC.

gettin worried.............. Title: Re: Unconfirmed Transaction... Post by: Newar on March 15, 2013, 02:43:48 AM Definit, in response to your PM, I followed the instructions for Windows in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.0
Once I had deleted the stuck tx, I ran bitcoind -rescan, but it would not return any messages even after half an hour at 25% CPU load (my wallet is 6 MB). So I shut it down and started bitcoin-qt and the tx was gone. There is now a 0.- transaction in my wallet in its stead. I highly recommend backing up wallet.dat if you want to try and do the same.

I ended up trying this, but the wallet was left with nothing in it after it did the rescan.. so I reverted back to the original... Title: Re: [Solved]Unconfirmed Transaction...

Loaded my original wallet.dat backup created 8-2011. After 7hr's or so, the blockchain was loaded fully, and all is well. I actually made an extra 4btc from doing this, assuming they were sent to this wallet.dat file after I had been using a more recent one. Yey. Title: Re: [Solved]Unconfirmed Transaction...

Post by: Definit on March 15, 2013, 03:00:14 PM If any of you try this, feel free to let me know if it worked for you as well..
I was reading here & there for anything, and read that -resync, or rebuilding the blockchain would work. I figured i'd try this first, and it ended up working, so I'm sure there is other solutions that may work for different situations. Title: Re: [Solved]Unconfirmed Transaction...

Yes, and now days every 1 btc is worth $47 range... so I made 200 bucks for my stressful endeavor. Lol. Title: Re: [Solved]Unconfirmed Transaction...
