Title: Please help !! afraid all my coins get lost (unconfirmed)
Post by: zarl on March 29, 2013, 01:35:17 AM
I am about to freak out at myself .. I think i fucked up big time ;(
I wanted to send coins to gox, but the coins i send was not fully confirmed (only x 3 confirmed)
But they was in my bitcoin client, so i think i could send then.. I am too new at this
Now my transaction to gox + 3 trancactions to satoshidice is unconfirmed many hours :(
Are all my bitcoin lost ?

Please help me, as it is big money for me :(
Did i make what is called dubble spend ?

Can my coins be saved

In your client, you should be able to get the transaction ID's for each of the transactions you made.  You can then go to blockchain.info and paste those transaction ID's into the search box.  You'll probably see that the transactions you made are either unconfirmed or have some small number of confirmations.  If the transactions were small, and you didn't add any transaction fee, it may take many hours for those transactions to be accepted into a block.  However, as soon as those transactions are accepted into a block, they'll have additional confirmations at the normal rate (that is, blocks will be piled on top at the usual 6 blocks/hour or whatever they happen to be mined at).  Hope this helps!

Yes, just put a standard transaction fee and save yourself the stress.
