Title: Can't send BTC due to this message...
Post by: makqua on May 20, 2018, 02:52:14 PM
Hello,

I'm having trouble sending BTC. I put in my password, then 2FA and this message pops up!

error: {'code': 1, 'message': 'the transaction was rejected by network rules.\n\nMissing input

I've included screenshots to help anyone diagnose the problem.

The last time I used this wallet was over a week ago and the problem has persisted since then.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a newbie regards this, so would appreciate any advise in an easy to understand format.

These two images are to assist with any diagnostic problems. Not sure whether I had to scribble out some of the numbers/letters, as wasn't sure what they actually were!

Be more specific, please. Two cropped images and partial details, and we cannot check or do anything. Begin with pasting the entire transaction here.

Are you sure that the input shown in the picture 1 hasn't been spent already?

What are those Local transactions? Are you getting this error when you try to broadcast them? Or do they have nothing to do with the transaction you're trying to make?

/edit:

Like @pooya87 said, this specific input doesn't exist. Did they get created by any of your local transactions? Like, if you are sending the coins back to you in the first transaction, and from this tx, you have a new input that is being spent in the second.

you are trying to spend a transaction (e5e2... (https://blockchain.info/tx/e5e292489a22f7f03567536ec39a6853cbbcca544d688ac8693168164fdb15e5)) that  does not exist. (the tx id is visible in the first photo 6nllI6p.jpg)

it is probably because you have created a bunch of local transactions which you did not broadcast, and now you are trying to spend the final transaction after you broadcast all those previous ones.

you see these two transactions saying local:

these are two transactions that YOU and only YOU know about not the network and now you are trying to spend the topmost transaction so the network is rejecting it because it doesn't know about it.

what you need to do is either broadcast those two transactions and let them confirm or if they are mistakes, delete them from your wallet and try making a new transaction from the last confirmed tx which is the topmost green one on 2018-5-12

Thanks for your reply. These are mistakes and I'll like to delete these transactions from my wallet, but how do I do this?

in your history tab, right click on any transaction called "local" that you do not want and choose Remove. select yes and it will be removed from your wallet.
