Bitcoin Forum

Hi everyone i was wondering can someone help me.

Last night i sent one payment to betarigs and about 5 mins later another payment for the same ammout went out of my bitcoin wallet. I checked the blockchain and the second payment was confirmed on the blockchain and the first was not so i sent a few more payments and then i got this error..

Error: The transaction was rejected. This might happen if some of the coins in your wallet were already spent, such as if you used a copy of wallet.dat and coins were spent in the copy but not marked as spent here

i rechecked my wallet and it looked like i had paid some payments and the bitcoin did not leave my wallet. But the payments i sent later did reduce my balance totally confused???


now i cannot spend any bitcoin from my wallet is there a way to fix this problem? i am on a windows 64bit machine.. thanks loz

Wow, I had the same exact issue last night! I sent a guy a payment and it appeared a 2nd time 10 mins later, but was also
unconfirmed and the TXID does not exist on the blockchain. I tried a recommended rescan and it's still there. I was blaming
it on using logmein.

total balance? def not.  I'm not sure if the second transaction even subtracted. I did not pursue it that far yet.

To be safe, create a totally new copy of the qt wallet and transfer into it and delete the old one. A reddit post
said this can lead to wallet corruption and failure ultimately.

I solved it i sent my wallet.dat file to https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet  this sorted all of the errors out straight away!

now i will create a new wallet and send my balance to my new offline wallet:) Hope this helps :) loz

If it does help you a bit of bitcoin love is always welcome :) 124yWdCducxRbrzTisYMcmqyZgy2wT8R6G

Hello!

Betarigs owner here -- here is the explanation to this -- and yes, it's much broader than just betarigs:

We know that mux it is no way anything to do with your site but a general bitcoin problem. i just ordered another 3 rigs from you mux so you have my vote.

This is nothing to do with betarigs it is just you were the site i was paying this was a bitcoin wallet issue!

Isn't that one extra step compared to just sending to the new offline wallet? lol

You would think so but no because my wallet was totally locked and i could not send any transactions out of my wallet at all kept getting the error message

"Error: The transaction was rejected. This might happen if some of the coins in your wallet were already spent, such as if you used a copy of wallet.dat and coins were spent in the copy but not marked as spent here"

Everytime i went to make a payment. so no payments were issued or left my wallet.

So i had to find a way of circumnavigating this problem thus the upload to  blockchain.info

ah, interesting! I will have to see if I can still spend... thanks

Fyi, im also investigating this issue.
Also my balance has been increased.

Electrum doesn't have this problem as far as I know. So simply export your private keys, import them into Electrum and viola!

when you import a private key, does it bring your addresses with it or are they only in the old wallet file?

this is the main pain with just transferring to a new wallet... changing your address on the pools etc.

If you import the private keys you have exported from BitcoinQT, you will have the same addresses as you had before. The only thing that changes is the wallet software you use to control it.

Don't be so sure. The article on coindesk says this is limited to exchanges. But its affecting ordinary users too now.

Ok, last night I first transferrred all my coins to a new address within the wallet, then I tried
sending again and I did not get a double payment going out. I have the feeling that transactions
are being randomly "cherry-picked" and it has nothing to do with anything on our end. Another
odd thing is that if you "export" the transactions to a csv, the invalid transactions falsely show
as TRUE under "confirmed" or whatever the first column says.

Side question, I noticed on the command for exporting the priv key that address is a parameter.
Is there a diff priv key for each address, so you have to do for every address you have??

thanks

Yes. Every public address has it's own private key. ;)

Thanks. I guess I should know that from the "project" - duh.  lol

I just always mentally assumed that a wallet had one key. So the interesting
implication is that you could create a 3rd wallet consisting of addresses from
two previous wallets. Kinda freaky.
