Hiya,

Done something wrong, Was loading a wallet.dat up and had to download the blockchain from scratch, It started confirming some of the coins, So I went to send some (yes I know my fault, I was impatient) and it said "your spend is more than your balance" bla bla bla... Even tho it was not.

So I waited for the update to finish, The transaction was still on the list but with 0 confirms.

I sent it again and it went fine, Now the problem is, I still have this transaction that all ways stays on the top of the list with 0 confirms?

What are the chances of it sending one day? (it has been three weeks all ready) is there an easy way to remove this? I suppose just use a new wallet and move it all over I guess?

Thanks

hey, check this one out. [GUIDE]Double-spending an unconfirmed transaction made with a third-party client (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=231309.0)

Thats great, and fast! I guess I did not look to hard about here first  :-[

You can remove it using the pywallet tools (be very careful and make sure you back up your wallet before playing with it).

The other thing you can do (if you still want to try and send it) is to right click on the tx and copy the transaction id then from the "console" (you can get to from the help menu) you get type: getrawtransaction <pasted txid> (be sure to remove the trailing -000 which is annoyingly always put there when you copy a transaction id to the clipboard).

You can then go to http://blockchain.info/pushtx and paste the raw transaction hex into it (no guarantee it will work of course).
