Title: Old transactions suddenly unconfirmed Post by: Dave54321 on December 22, 2016, 11:14:29 AM Yesterday I purchased 0.25 bitcoins to add to my balance. However, shortly after the payment had been made, the balance in my wallet suddenly started showing as totally unconfirmed - I mean every transaction made since I started in October 2015!
I did a wallet repair, and things improved, with all transactions confirmed except for the earliest two transactions. I have run two further wallet repairs, but still these early transactions are unconfirmed. I didn't realise that a confirmed transaction could revert back to being unconfirmed. Could anyone advise if I need to do anything, please? It's a bit worrying! Thanks in advance. I'm using Multibit HD v0.4.1 Title: Re: Old transactions suddenly unconfirmed Post by: steven0021 on December 22, 2016, 11:18:42 AM It's an old bug with multibit. Try repairing the wallet (Manage Wallet > Repair Wallet) and verifying the network (Tools > Verify Network). I'd create a new wallet if I were you. It seems like this problem is persistent and will keep coming back.

If I install a different client, e.g. Bitcore, would I be able to import the existing wallet? I wonder if that would fix it?

Bitcoin core does not seem to have this problem. Did you try updating to 0.5? |
