Bitcoin Forum

Hi, I sent some btc from my bitcoin core wallet when it was still trying to connect and probably about 5 weeks behind sync with network.


Its been 4hrs and it is still not showing up on blockchain.info



Any advice please?


I paid abt $2 in fees fwiw.

The transaction will be broadcast to the network once your wallet is fully synchronized. You can either wait or export your private keys and import them into Electrum if you need to spend your funds urgently.

I do not use Bitcoin Core but even if the tx is only broadcasted when the wallet is fully synchronized (as said above), you should be able to manually push it to the network through another website.

Right click the transaction you made (shown in the Transactions tab) and select "Copy raw transaction", then paste the code in this page: https://coinb.in/#broadcast and click Submit. It should be sent and you should be able to see the tx in the blockchain explorer.

you should always try to avoid "importing" a private key from one wallet application into another wallet application (from core to an SPV wallet in this example). it is a risky move in general.
also it is not needed here at all since OP can already "sign" the transaction with the client he already have. if he has any trouble broadcasting that signed transaction then there are lots of easier ways to just broadcast that already-signed transaction that were mentioned before.
