Title: Unable to sweep my paper wallet into my blockchain.info wallet Post by: schnuber on February 12, 2014, 10:17:51 PM Hi
I am not able to sweep my paper wallet 163NMjvM6VFoLBpTmTRsrLPseyAFHt49p4 into my blockchain.info wallet due to unconfirmed transactions. Those transaction were made to me from an already known blockchain spammer (discussed in this forum). Since those transaction will probably never confirm, how can I retrieve (sweep) my paper wallet? Please help me out, I am not too experienced with Bitcoin. Thx.

Noone should be able to delete transaction out of the blockchain right?

If the transactions are unconfirmed, it means they never got "Sent" in the first place. They will drop out of memory Title: Re: Unable to sweep my paper wallet into my blockchain.info wallet Post by: Peter R on February 13, 2014, 08:18:14 PM Hi I am not able to sweep my paper wallet 163NMjvM6VFoLBpTmTRsrLPseyAFHt49p4 into my blockchain.info wallet due to unconfirmed transactions.

I typically import the private key and then send the coins to a new address.

May be bothering. What would happen if someone floods the network with billions of satoshies at once, would that not disturb proper functioning of the Bitcoin network? |
