Title: 10 weeks for a 1bc transaction without fee?
Post by: ifyouloveit on January 03, 2012, 02:40:57 PM
Hi guys,

I transferred 1 bitcoin from my "spending wallet" to my newly created "secure bank wallet" to test that it got there properly, and I did so without paying any transaction fee.

In my "sent wallet" I can see ~10'000 confirmations and can also see from the block explorer that the transaction is registered there. However, it still hasn't reached my other wallet.

I have tried with several version of the bitcoin client, and I have downloaded all available blocks (currently ~160'000 with my transaction being in the 140'000s.)

Is this an expected delay for a transaction without a fee or is there any other explanation?

Link to the block explorer for the transaction:

Thanks for the help, cheers

get your bitcoin client running with the -rescan option using the wallet that holds the missing transaction address and you might see it.
