Title: Segwit Transaction Stucked for a Month - Amazing eh? Post by: miguelmorales85 on December 09, 2017, 07:51:06 PM Hi there, I did my first SegWit transaction and due to a mistake and a not so clear GUI in Bitcoin Core I have a transaction stucked for a month.
I wonder if someone can explain how can this happen. In the past I've had low fees transaction stucked for about 3 days to one week, nothing uncommon I dont complain but this is outrageous. https://blockchain.info/tx/2d73dfb6b98f4dcd066134081a670cda09304b268f0a5d7ca451ed8ed6e7d940 Peace Title: Re: Segwit Transaction Stucked for a Month - Amazing eh?

What was your mistake exactly? Im not sure if the fee is too low or not. Segwit transactions are supposed to go with lower fees. But since there is no GUI support yet, the fee is not calculated (I guess you used the command line). Try -zapwalletttxes to get the money back into your wallet.

Transaction is not dropped when is being rebroadcasted again (e.g. everytime you open the sending wallet it most probably broatcast it again) ... you would need to keep the wallet offline (not open it) for few days I think.... but depends on wallet. I'm almost positive it will never get confirmed ... maybe after years :D Title: Re: Segwit Transaction Stucked for a Month - Amazing eh? Post by: cpfreeplz on December 10, 2017, 12:12:14 AM Lol why would you try and send half of a satoshi per byte? Clearly it wasn't ever going to work even with segwit. Maybe 20x that and you'd have a shot at getting confirmed. Yeah you need to figure out how to stop having this tx rebroadcast so it'll pop back in your address.

Note that these commands are likely to result in wallet rescanning which could involve a lot of time. Title: Re: Segwit Transaction Stucked for a Month - Amazing eh? Post by: BitNoLimit on December 10, 2017, 06:50:30 AM Fees $ 0.12 only used
you have to take care that mate, at least you had to use couple of bucks Title: Re: Segwit Transaction Stucked for a Month - Amazing eh? Post by: miguelmorales85 on December 10, 2017, 11:55:45 AM ...

But since there is no GUI support yet, the fee is not calculated (I guess you used the command line). Try -zapwalletttxes to get the money back into your wallet. I used the GUI. My mistake was to check the option Pay only the required fee of XXXX and then the amount was like 580 satochis, I thought "this is a nice amount per sat" but turns out this was the total fee amount. So that was my mistake, I misunderstood the message. I understand the command -zapwalletttxes is to remove all wallet transactions that are not in the blockchain I would like the optional RBF checkbox to be checked by default. That would be useful. oh and FWIW I went on holidays 3 weeks and turned my node (where the wallet is) off the whole 3 weeks, I returned and still there unconfirmed in the mempool... Im running my node on linux, I will try abandon transaction with broadcastwallet=0 and let you know the results. thanks for the recommendations.
