Title: [SOLVED] What to do if transaction doesn't show up and -rescan doesn't sort it
Post by: CoinThinker on May 05, 2014, 06:40:07 PM
Hey guys, I have a big problem. My internet fall for a few seconds, exactly when I was sending some coins from my bitcoin-qt client.

0.25 BTC was deducted from my account, but it doesn't show up on blockchain at all. I have tried to quit bitcoin-qt, and restarted it with the -rescan option, but didn't helped.

I would appreciate your help.

This thread should be moved to technical support.  The option is at the bottom of the page.

From the debug console in the core client (or using bitcoind) you can try:
Code:
getrawtransaction 76a4640cf4049e81d228f3a3429159ea35c82202dae6c7648b7f091e8b4fb716

then:
Code:
sendrawtransaction <the long hexstring output of the prior command>

If you get an error post that error.

If nothing else works you can try to post the tx details so others can see if there is a deeper issue by using:
Code:
getrawtransaction 76a4640cf4049e81d228f3a3429159ea35c82202dae6c7648b7f091e8b4fb716 1
(note the 1 at the end which decodes the tx)

The other option is to simply wait.  The client keeps track of broadcasted txs which have not been included in a block and will regularly attempt to rebroadcast them.

I have got an error: TX rejected (code -22), but somehow it sorted out because the transaction went trough and now it shows up.

Thank you so very much!

U might have to rebroadcast the TX. ithink  bitcoinqt will rebroadcast every 30mins

Thank you so very much!

Glad it helped.  That is what I was expecting.  The -22 is kinda misleading it is an error when your node tries to put the tx into its own memory pool.  It can't be added because it is already there. :) The node thankfully does still broadcast it to its peers anyways.
