Title: how do you recover from unconfirmed tx?
Post by: kellrobinson on February 04, 2014, 05:47:54 AM
I had .6421 btc in a Schildbach wallet, and sent .642 to this other address I own:
1HJZKopzU17Yu1dbbVqvk54FjXBzXFXKYy
The tx is falling back in the queue very far.  
Expected confirmation time on block chain.info has gone from a few minutes to many hours.
Looks like it will never confirm.
How can I get this coin back?
Edit:  this is strange, position in queue suddenly dropped from thousands to a few hundred and est. conf. fell from 20 hrs to 23 minutes.
...and now it's falling behind again.

Are you talking about 940e77516d49aeacf26c76d31eec424e6bec239836cda3781ae51141450db66e? It's confirmed now.

Regarding the title question: It should not happen. Bitcoin Wallet only creates transactions that should confirm quickly. If it still does, its a bug. In this case, please send a dump of your wallet. It's Options > Settings > Report issue and tick "Wallet dump".

The time estimates on blockchain.info are pretty random - don't rely on them to be accurate.

I read it a few times and found out that it didn't understand anything
