Title: No Confirmations after 12 hours
Post by: IveBeenBit on June 08, 2012, 03:17:03 AM
Should I be worried?

It's been almost 12 hours since this tx was sent. I'm expecting 3.25 BTC from Satoshi Dice.

I just ask because I have had a transaction go unconfirmed for this long before and the coins came back to me. The transaction just disappeared. Hoping that doesn't happen with my SD winnings.  :)

I've had that happen. Never received payment, and when I emailed them they said the transaction wasn't in their history.

Are you using a client that lets you spend coins on 0/unconfirmed?  (e.g., Blockchain.info/wallet?)

Anyway, the problem is the coins that are used in that transaction themselves had not confirmed.

So, it will eventually get sorted out -- probably by SatoshiDICE re-creating payout transactions.  As a result, the transaction you see will probably never confirm, you'll get a new payout transaction.

That could take a full day for them to do that.

It looks like your transaction is good, so your bet is locked-in. The problem is with the payment, which will never confirm. You'll have to wait until they re-run the bet through their system, which can take 1-2 days.

Sorry, so what happened here?

Sure enough the transaction I referenced with in my first message has been disappeared. SD must have re-sent because I have the payout in my account now with over a dozen confirmations.
