Title: Bitcoin transaction dose not confirm (even though send with a high tx fee)
Post by: bahamapascal on December 06, 2013, 09:54:57 PM
Hi some one send me folowing transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/2b5707dbdeb31c62381c9b8ff795126ce7ac3883915aaca8e3bd3240488a0ca9

It is way over almos 3 hours and it has 0 confirms :O

The strange thing is that the Transaction fee is rather high....
Also I notice that the " 3 minutes (queue position 13)" always changes, somtime it is in queue position 3 then in the next minut it jumps to position 89...

Any ideas/ help would be appreciate.

    This transaction has a none standard input.

That is why. You better double spend those coins with a new transaction, cause that one is probably going to get stuck there.

Oh ok...now its not me how send those coins, it was some one I made a trade with....so what do you think should I do, just wait or ask the sender to resend it? Though if he/she would resend it, wouldn't that mean that I could get 2x 10BTC?

Thanks for your help

There, I fixed it:  ;D

The input script was non-standard due to a bug in the client that generated the transaction (probably happens about once in 256 times).  I fixed the signature by hand.  The transaction now appears as double spend, but should be confirmed soon (unless someone confirms the first one before).
