Title: Need some help, Transaction not confirmed, really confused :S Post by: wmike on November 25, 2013, 10:40:30 PM Hey guys, I ended up buying bitcoin off my buddy lastnight.
I downloaded multibit....set up the wallet....and he transferred me the bitcoin. I then paid him. It was showing lastnight that i got the bitcoin, but the transaction is not yet confimed, so i said whatever and turned off my computer. Its now about 18 hours later, i open up my wallet right now so i can send to BTC-e and it still says "transaction not yet confirmed. Seen by 3 peers" Then i looked at the date in multibit and it says the 17th, my computers time and date was wrong....i hope that doesnt affect anything. So i fixed the time. I then click veiw transaction on blockchain and block explorer and they say the date as today. At the bottom of my multibit wallet it says synchronizing with network fot about a half hour now, 221 block downloading...but i dont see any progress on the green bar. So what exactly needs to be done so i can transfer these to BTC-E? Did i mess something up with my computer clock being the wrong time? Or do i just wait? Does multibit NEED to be open? Thanks ahead of time for any responses :) Title: Re: Need some help, Transaction not confirmed, really confused :S Post by: cr1776 on November 25, 2013, 11:37:48 PM Hi,
Do you know if you paid a fee? If you share the transaction number (but never the private key) people can help look into it. Hey guys, I ended up buying bitcoin off my buddy lastnight.

This is s bit of a concern. Does it still say 221? You may need to reset. There are instructions on how to do so here at the MultiBit help page: https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_resetBlockchain.html Similar instructions here: https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_support_sentBitcoinToMultibitButTheyNeverArrived.html Do you have the transactionID? If so, you can search for the transaction at the blockchain.info website. Use the search box here: https://blockchain.info/ If blockchain.info displays that the transaction is unconfirmed, then the sender probably didn't include a sufficient transaction fee. It could take a few days (or weeks) for it to be confirmed. If blockchain.info displays that the transaction is confirmed, then you just need to get your MultiBit wallet synchronized with the blockchain. |
