Title: Weird bug: old BTC transactions suddenly become not confirmed? Post by: junbin on April 15, 2013, 11:22:48 PM I have a bunch of old BTC transactions between 4/10 and 4/12 that were confirmed long ago. But somehow today, they all suddenly appeared as not confirmed. Newer transactions are not affected.
Any ideas what's going on? Title: Re: Weird bug: old BTC transactions suddenly become not confirmed? Post by: junbin on April 15, 2013, 11:26:53 PM More info: this is happening in 1 single wallet (though I only have one), across multiple addresses, on Bitcoin-QT v0.8.1-beta

A confirmed transaction can drop to unconfirmed if was double spent when a block reorg had a different transaction. That doesn't happen a whole lot, and the transactions affected during the March 11th hard fork were the only ones since 2010 that a transaction with six confirmations on the longest chain reverted to being unconfirmed. So if you had a confirmed transaction revert, it would have had just one confirmation most likely, Check to see if the payments show on Blockchain.info.

So I restarted bitcoin-qt and now it's showing everything as confirmed again. I'm guessing it's just a visual bug? |
