Title: Electrum Bitcoin Wallet Question
Post by: poudini on February 23, 2017, 06:49:08 PM
Hey everyone,
So I recently transferred some coins from Bitcoin Qt to Electrum because I heard that Electrum was a better wallet. Shortly thereafter I opened a Gemini account, funded it and started doing some trading. I decided to go ahead and transfer my coins from Electrum to Gemini to have all my coins in one location. The transfer showed up on Gemini and said it would take 2 hours before the coins would be available to me to trade or sell etc. Unfortunately they just sat there for days, nothing happened and then the message disappeared and the coins were never transferred. Then I opened my Electrum wallet and it said that my coins were in limbo for like 3 days. Now it finally says I have a balance but whenever I try to transfer my coins anywhere I get this message

"error: The transaction was rejected by network rules.  (258: txn-mempool-conflict)
[01000000010eca14c37851d08269e9a9566c9a4848bf47ae993cc80c58d04e8aa6e4756cae000000006a473044"

If anybody out there can help me get to where I can transfer my coins to a different wallet I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Poudini

AFAIK when transactions are stuck like this it is either double spend attempt or insufficient fee used.

There are two ways for you to solve this problem:

1. Either wait for your TX to expire from the mempool. It should take few days.
2. Copy your raw transaction data and try to broadcast it through another blockchain service provider, try this service: https://blockchain.info/pushtx (https://blockchain.info/pushtx)

Your coins are already in transit awaiting confirmation. The fee is a little low so you have to wait.  You should be able to accelerate this transaction at viaBTC.  Actually, it aPpears there are two transactions.

Thanks man, that transaction accelerator worked like a charm. I entered my txID and my transaction went through in like 30 mins.

Cheers!
