Title: Bitcoin QT no confirmations
Post by: Nightragerz on February 10, 2014, 10:08:54 PM
I got a serious problem with my wallet.

I've always used the default fee which means I let the client decide and set the fee to 0.0000 BTC in the settings.

Sometimes I had to pay a fee, sometimes not. The transactions always went through.

So today I made some transactions but they didn't get confirmed.

I backed up my wallet and started bitcoin QT with the -salvagewallet command.

So those pending transactions got deleted in my client and my balance was correct again.

Then I made a new transaction and included a fee of 0.0005 BTC.

This transactions is still pending and on blockchain it says "possibly never (double spend)" and the queue keeps jumping between rank 1 and 30.

Best advice? Wait.
Eventually one of two things will happen:-
1) A miner will finally accept it
2) Bitcoin clients will finally say "Fuck it" and stop broadcasting it

Just leave your QT running.

Isn't that like... the worse advice to give? It'll keep broadcasting it, he wants it to go away.

@Op, looks like you've already double spent it:-

https://blockchain.info/tx-index/112543412

Second one has a fee.

You mean, it will never get through if I close QT now?

Yeah second one has a fee.

I reinitiated the transaction after I used the salvagewallet command to clear my QT.

And your second tx (with a fee) wins :D

The first tx was still active when u sent the second.maybe one will confirm or the btc gets refunded after 48hrs. U should avoid double spending
