Title: Bitcoin help plz. Blockchain dropped my transaction Post by: Choker77 on April 26, 2017, 10:51:07 PM Hello guys,
So i am having a huge problem and i really hope someone can help a brother out. So on Monday i made a transaction Using my Multi-Bit HD wallet and today (Wednesday) its still not Confirmed. So i go and check on Blockchain.info and got this Error :Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: Transaction was previously accepted but has been pruned from our database. The txid is 550c42504a3af193a228de1c92f1a5784348907f0a8bc2d8cf24ae55b6822016 So my question is: 1 - Do i wait this out and Will my coins eventually get returned to my wallet 2 -Is there any easy way to fix this. I was searching around a little and i saw something about re broadcasting this transaction with a higher fee. How do you go about doing that? Im not all that great with the bit coin thing yet i only know the basics of bitcoin. Still learning. This is the first time this has happened to me in the year i been playing with coin Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance Choker Title: Re: Bitcoin help plz. Blockchain dropped my transaction Post by: HCP on April 27, 2017, 12:21:49 AM The transaction is still visible on Blockcypher (https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/550c42504a3af193a228de1c92f1a5784348907f0a8bc2d8cf24ae55b6822016/) and I can see it in the mempool on my full node, so it hasn't been completely purged as yet.
At this stage, one of two things are going to happen: 1. The transaction will confirm (maybe even money chance given the "lowish" fee used ~95 sats/byte) or 2. It will get dropped from the mempool completely, and it will be like your transaction never happened, and your wallet should allow you to re-spend those coins. I tried submitting the transaction to the ViaBTC tx accelerator, and it went through, so hopefully they will mine a block and your transaction will confirm. Your other options are to try a "double spend" and redo the same transaction with a much higher fee (I don't think MultiBit HD will let you do this as I don't think it supports "Replace By Fee")... or you could try a "Child Pays For Parent" transaction if you own either of the addresses: 1AQapK1AGpHqwqyUvyPkcBKvmqEgqBaxRE 12ebnyuH41wxuQvMZxtwUabKJfDD387nmB that are receiving outputs from your transaction. Google "Child Pays For Parent"... basically, you spend the unconfirmed coins that the address received with a fee large enough to cover both transactions and a miner might include both to claim the large fee.

just re checked blockchain.info and for some reason the transaction re appeared so i'll wait it out a day and see what happens. Title: Re: Bitcoin help plz. Blockchain dropped my transaction Post by: HCP on April 27, 2017, 02:08:16 AM I guess the transaction got rebroadcast... in any case, it looks like AntPool have included it in a mined block, so... happy days :)

I didn't think i would of gotten a reply since i was new member to the forum. Title: Re: Bitcoin help plz. Blockchain dropped my transaction Post by: HCP on April 27, 2017, 03:22:13 AM No, it wasn't the ViaBTC accelerator... If it had been that, the block would have been mined by ViaBTC ;)
That is how the accelerator works... by submitting your transaction there, ViaBTC prioritise your transaction in their system and will try to include it in a block that they mine... so if they don't mine a block, their accelerator won't help at all. Guess you just got lucky 8) |
