Title: Help with rebroadcasting transaction please.
Post by: nedomedo on November 26, 2013, 09:18:45 PM
Hi guys, I sent small amount 0.363 of bitcoin from mtgox to my bter account and it didn't go through last night. I figured it was delayed or something but its been almost 13 hours now and the transaction does not even show up in the blockchain. I sent two more transfers this morning from mtgox and it was sent instantly. For some reason this transaction was not sent to the blockchain. From research I found that there is a way to rebroadcast the transaction but every time I tried I get an error code from the blockchain.info

Does anyone have good instructions on how to rebroadcast this transaction so that it goes through?

You mean the transaction from mt.gox to your wallet? I 'm afraid you should contact mt.gox support and provide them with transaction id's etc.

First question, did you provide a fee?

Second question, by "does not even show up in the blockchain" what do you mean exactly?  If it were to show up in the blockchain, it'd already be done.  Do you mean in blockchain explorer?  Rebroadcasting is automatic, so if your transaction is loose in the wild, but just not in a block yet, then it'll confirm eventually.

Yes, there was a fee. When I look in my history it says FEE 0.00100000 BTC

It is very strange because all of my other transactions were instant, like 30 seconds. What I mean is that its not showing up in blockchain explorer when you search for the transaction confirmation number. I verified that everything is 100% correct and I have even sent additional transactions afterwards that went through instantly to the same address.

When I was researching a solution I came across this website http://www.skanner.net/gethex.php which is supposed to help me rebroadcast the transaction but I can figure out how to do it still. I found "tx" and everything.

I already contacted mtgox but I havent received a response

Then it's a problem with MTGox, and there is nothing we can do to help.  The rebroadcasting won't help.

If MtGox is sending, you cant force a rebroadcast, that is something they would need to do, as you dont have the private key for the wallet they are sending from. 

*I think*

Can you see an unconfirmed transaction?
If so, you can rebroadcast it later, after the network slowly "forget" the tx.

1. Search the tx id on blockchain.info
2. Get the raw tx by adding "?format=hex" after the url of your transaction page.
(eg. You can get the raw tx of "ef7a702eef39f126d9d2139130bdd0eb4d039bd4c7919410606eada1102cbe56" by accessing the page http://blockchain.info/tx/ef7a702eef39f126d9d2139130bdd0eb4d039bd4c7919410606eada1102cbe56?format=hex)
3. After the network "forget" the tx, rebroadcast the tx on blockchain.info/pushtx
