Title: Big problem with unconfirmed transaction
Post by: elcapo1983 on February 24, 2017, 10:34:19 AM
Hello People,

I have a big problem at moment. 2 days ago i send 0,24 bitcoins with my electrum wallet. Unfortunately i had chosen a low fee. Now, 2 days after sending, the transaction has been deleted from blockchain:

"Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: Transaction was previously accepted but has been pruned from our database."

In my electrum wallet the transaction is still displayed as "unconfirmed".

What can i do now? Have i lost my bitcoins now?

I hope, that you can help me.

Here you can see the transaction:

Greets !

 That transaction shows today's date.  Did you rebroadcast the same transaction with the ridiculously low fees attached?  With a 10 satoshi per byte fee, it might never confirm.  Achow101 has a sticky that can help you.  I'm not sure where it is, but he recently posted it.

I saw it ... Don't know, why it is confirmed with this too small fee. I reposted it on blockchain pushtx, perhaps this was the cause.

Thanks for your help !

Sounds like something about this transaction caused it to be rejected. If the fee was way too low, this could be the reason. Be sure to use appropriate fees to help avoid these type of issues. Unfortunately, we aren't able to see more details about the transaction since it was already rejected.

The days of cheap fees are over. Electrum will do a good job for you as long as you are using latest release, enable dynamic fees, and set fee slider all the way up to high.

I have the same issue! Not sure what to do now. I sent a low fee. I didn't know anything about fees prior to sending. Learned my lesson. So what do I do now??? Just wait? And what about fees, where should I update info? I don't recall thee being a few option when broadcasting. I waited 2 days at unconfirmed. Today is day 3 and it has been pruned...
