Title: Bitcoin core and abc btc wallet transaction problem
Post by: Apolo.- on August 16, 2017, 01:19:45 PM
Hello, i have my btc in a btc core wallet

I downloaded abc btc wallet and opened it, i saw my btc

Then i closed abc btc wallet and re opened btc core wallet and did send my btc to a trezor wallet.

The inconvenient is that transaction hasnīt been confirmed, and btc core wallet does not update blockchain since i did install abc btc wallet.

I see btc in my trezor, but i check in blockchain.info and says transactions has been made but unconfirmed. What do i have to do to solve this?

thank you for your time

Do you have a transaction id? 

It sounds like you installed both Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin ABC in the same user space.  Is that accurate?

If you put less fee for this transaction then may be this transaction unconfirmed.
You have to install btc core wallet and abc btc wallet in two different devices, copy same wallet.dat file in both wallets
Now you can use both BTC and BCH. If still you have any issue than PM me.
I will help you.

Find where you Bitcoin data folder is... most likely C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin

Make a copy of it... and rename it "BitcoinABC"... then start BitcoinABC with with -datadir="whatever\your\path\to\BitcoinABC"

That will separate Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin ABC blocks from each other... Unfortunately, because it already has been messed up, you may need to do a reindex on both... worst case, you'll need to delete both blocks folders and start from scratch :-\

It really was a bit of a stupid move by BitcoinABC devs to use (and possibly corrupt) Bitcoin Core datadir without any warnings to the user :(
