Title: HELP - INVALID TRANSACTION?
Post by: ACCOUNTSTRADER on February 09, 2021, 05:24:03 PM
Hello people, i have a doubt. I made a transaction 9 days ago with low fee.

Today i check blockchain and it says that the transaction is invalid:

https://www.blockchain.com/es/btc/tx/fae6255a76c1289b00853a90025a0f89495fd0c4ebadf4a0b2a2c1201514ddb4


But if i check on blockchair.com, it says that is unconfirmed, not invalid.

What do you think?  if i RBF this transaction will be confirmed?

It is valid. Due to the influx in transaction volume, the mempool size for Blockchain.info has presumably increased. As a result, the minimum fees for it to be entered into their mempool/block explorer has increased. They evicted your transaction from your mempool which isn't of any concern but it's wrong to display it as invalid.

If you do an RBF with sufficient fees, it will definitely be confirmed within a reasonable period of time. 1 satoshi/vbyte probably won't make the cut for a long time.

Had to check if this is your two weeks old transaction with the earlier problems, seems like you keep running into those.  ;D
Mempool.space still shows yours also so it just that some nodes have dropped it from the mempool, 1sat/b is the lowest priority chances for it to get confirmed this month are slim to null, far more likely it will be dropped from most nodes than getting confirmed.

Just RBF it, but considering you waited already that much probably you can wait for the weekend to enjoy some lower fees than right now is really a bad time to move coins around

Actually, this is what I see on the blockchain

I heard that blockchain.com won't show your transaction if the fee is low, most of what I heard 1sat/byte.


What wallet you currently using?

Since your transaction is RBF enabled you can increase the transaction fee I suggest this tool https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h under "Mempool size in MB" point your mouse on the recent time frame and choose the fee under 1MB. The current recommended fee is around 140+sat/byte in 0.521MB.

Something is really buggy over there, I could see first the transactions when I hit refresh I got the same message as you, went to history click on the link again still ops, tried a different browser it shows again, when I tried to change it from Spanish to English it disappeared again.

Maybe the op has already recreated the tx?  ??? From the little Spanish, I understand it tells something of spent inputs?

Today i check blockchain and it says that the transaction is invalid:
The warning shows that an input from the transaction has been used in a separate transaction. Did you attempt using inputs of the unconfirmed transaction in another different transaction?
If inputs from the transaction has been used, RBF would not help, except you change the inputs and exclude the ones which have been spent.

Try checking your address on the explorer to confirm if the funds are still on your wallet

None of the inputs were spent in another transaction. It is just a simple case of Blockchain.info giving incorrect error messages.

If you were to push the raw transaction manually, you'll realize that it'll throw an error saying that the fee is too low. It's due to their mempool being full and thus raising the mempool fees. That's all.

Just now i send some coins to my node, will try RBF in next minutes-hours  8) ;D

Hope that every think will be fine. 9 days waiting... But good waiting, thanks to Elon Musk
