Title: Strange transaction to my address
Post by: schnuber on February 12, 2014, 02:20:26 PM
Hi
My key is 163NMjvM6VFoLBpTmTRsrLPseyAFHt49p4. I have two strange transactions of one Satoshi to this address which does not originate from myself or someone I know of. Now I am not able to sweep my funds to my blockchain.info Wallet since those transaction are not yet confirmed, yet they are already two days old.

Can someone please hint me what might be going on and what to do?

Thanks, sincerely

Ok I went through all that threads but i can not find an answer to my concerns. I face the problem that I want to sweep my paper wallet to my blockchain wallet. But I cannot do that anymore because it says those two satoshis are not yet confirmed. And as I learned from that threads thy will probably never be confirmed. So how do I get my money off my paper wallet??

I got two pairs of spam transactions too (to my blockchain.info addresses), and the first pair is now automatically deleted as unconfirmed (after ~ 2 days have passed I believe). Here is the email I received from blockchain.info:

Quote
Bitcoin Transaction Failed

Transaction Confirmation Failed

A transaction made through Blockchain.info has been removed from our database because it was taking a long time to be included in a block.

Any funds have been returned to your wallet and you can now spend the coins again. Please consider including a larger fee in future transactions.

But in my case blockchain.info can not delete those two transactions because it is a paper wallet.
Besides, why do they say "Please consider including a larger fee in future transactions." It was not you how send the transaction but received it, right?

Yeah, I received them, probably just a wrong mail template.

Don't know answer to your question about paper wallet, didn't use them.

It does not matter that they are to a paper wallet.  They will fail.  You just have to wait for them to fail.

What do you mean by "they have to fail"? And how long will that possibly take? Does that mean I am not able to withdraw my funds from that paper wallets until then?
