Title: What happens to unconfirmed transactions?
Post by: Patches OHulahan on August 29, 2013, 10:21:59 AM
I did a transaction 2 days ago.

http://blockchain.info/tx/33bce9a9251505167fa398acd402267997ba460b1e060194831006299d1ad3fb

I send some low amount of BTC to this address: http://blockchain.info/de/address/194Mr3uhK6Dq9cvU6tjvGZCLtiTftk4Hxd

But unfortunately, it does not get confirmed.

What happens to unconfirmed transactions?

Will they be cancelled after a certain amount of time? Will I get my BTC back?

In the future, I would use the search function in the website. It can find valuable posts about your desired topic. This also prevents spam and makes the site look a lot cleaner.

Stuck in cyberspace, i guess. Pay appropriate fees is a good way to avoid this.

I did this.
I was able for the amount to show up in my Bitcoin-qt Wallet as unspend amount again.

Now I sent out the transaction again, this time with 0.0001BTC transaction fee.

I get a transaction id: 8652dfefd808305232f0d78a8c383bf965739a848e67bc709962082e82af40d7 (http://www.blockchain.info/tx/8652dfefd808305232f0d78a8c383bf965739a848e67bc709962082e82af40d7)

But it is not confirming either and the transaction does not even show up on blockchain.info.

The search feature on this site actually doesn't work very well... :(

I seem to find anything that I'm looking for. Anything you can search google with the advanced settings and include only this site.
However, I have never had a problem with the site function of this site.

"Warning! this transaction is a double spend of 86792084. You should be extremely careful when trusting any transactions to/from this sender."

Your transaction to 1QfhUBWQ7dqfJECPnAuBjt7jcX9FBaox4 confirmed, but the transaction to SDice did not (and will not). It will eventually be ejected from the block queue, and that'll be that.

Tx in OP is now confirmed. For faster confirmations, add a larger fee (.0005 is usually the minimum for relatively quick inclusion, .001 in some instances -- if the transaction's important, .01 is still a pretty cheap fee for inclusion in the next block) and make sure you're connected to many nodes.
