Title: Re: Can someone (probably a miner) please help? Transaction worth hundreds stuck! Post by: Stephen Gornick on September 06, 2013, 09:07:22 AM Having $12 stuck unconfirmed is a lesson learned. But having $500 stuck forever? It won't be stuck forever. Firstly, the problem appears to be that the transaction had a parent transaction that had not yet confirmed. And that parent too had a parent transaction that had not yet confirmed. Those just confirmed a short while ago (about an hour ago). So now your transaction is not dependent on any other transactions getting confirmed. So the problem was you sent a payment before the funds for that payment had confirmed. Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind and many other clients don't let you shoot yourself like that. Blockchain.info's wallet doesn't care ... if you want to create a transaction that won't confirm right away, it will let you. That's a feature experienced users want, but a problem for those like yourself who weren't aware of the underlying issue. Anyway, there's not much you can do .. it will confirm when it confirmed, generally within a few hours or up to a day from here. You can see the prior transaction using Blockchain.info by going into the Advanced mode (click the link at the bottom of their page), and then click on the (spent) or (unspent) for each address in the INPUT.

Post by: ssateneth on September 07, 2013, 05:27:36 AM Didn't read the thread, but I think the only reasonable option you can do at this point is ask a pool operator to include the transaction in the next block they mine. Luke-Jr, the operator of the eligius pool (join #eligius on freenode irc), has done this in the past for bitcoiners that have forgotten to pay their TX fees.

Or give it a little more time to confirm (which is what happened): - https://blockchain.info/tx/770f7ccb20f5968c18fc70a8a52edeb17a301b919715b5eb3cb977733992954c |
