Title: moving bitcoins from blockchain.info/wallet to Electrum - one transaction stuck
Post by: empoweoqwj on April 03, 2013, 03:22:17 PM
I wanted to move my bitcoins offline, so today I did 4 transactions, from bitchain.info/wallet to electrum. The first 3 happened in about an hour, with lots of confirmations, but the 4th and final one has been stuck for several hours with zero confirmations.

When i click on the transaction at blockchain.info it says:

"Network Propagation
0% - 2 Nodes - (Very Poor)"

And yes, the fee above says 0 BTC, but:

a) I didn't set that. I just chose "normal fees" as the option when I set up my blockchain.info account, and
b) The other 3 transactions got multiple confirmations within an hour.

What can I do? All four transactions are for about 50 BTC each, why would the first three go through no problem, but this one get stuck? This is obviously very worrying as its a quarter of my "wealth" .... ;-)

Any tips??

Many thanks

Can you post a transaction ID or the addresses involved? I'm guessing that it's due to the lower priority, or the network propagation.

Please add the tx id from blockchain.info, for the record.

Side note: Maybe it's possible to undo the transaction, if it hasn't propagated?

Wow, John - you posted right before me :P

As bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/txlist/ is currently down, I can't verify the priority of the transaction. Be rest assured that if it does not confirm within 1-2 days, the balance will be returned to your blockchain wallet.

ok many thanks for putting my mind at rest. There's nothing urgent about it, not like i was going to buy mining equipment from BFL or anything like that ... just wanted to make sure I hadn't lost the 50 BTC.

Strange the blockchain "normal" setting didn't charge a transaction fee. I checked the previous transactions from earlier today and they had no fee attached either .... thought the miners might have been getting pissed off at me for not paying, but I really had no idea there was no fee attached to these transactions.

It went through in the last 7 hrs, with 11 confirmations  :)

I got a similar problem with a transaction (0.01 BTC) stuck to "unconfirmed" and zero % net propagation.
It's 36h now; some suggestion?

Thank you!
