Title: unconfirmed transactions, alternative approach?
Post by: coinsolidation on June 17, 2014, 05:21:59 PM
I'm aware of the pywallet method of removing transactions, but would the following produce the same result?

  • backup wallet
  • export private keys
  • stop ---coind
  • delete wallet
  • start ---coind
  • .. wait a while ..
  • import private keys

please advise

Yes. Will remove unconfirmed transactions from your wallet as long as nobody re-broadcasts them (just like pywallet does).

Yes.

This is good to know. At first I had this problem a couple times and I had t wait really long.

Of course now I just set a proper fee, but it's still good to know.
