Title: Coins stuck in limbo
Post by: iLoveTarantulas on February 04, 2015, 01:51:11 AM
Hello! first post


I sent coins from localbtc to electrum. the coins showed up fine in electrum. I then sent the coins to..another address..and electrum said they sent. I saw the transaction in the history of electrum and closed electrum and waited 1 hour as i normally do. I then checked the address i sent to only to not see the coins. I open electrum and check history but do not see the sending transaction i did before. I see the coins in my wallet again. I figured i must have not sent it correct and try to send them again and get this error: "error u message u18 bad-txns-input-spent-ucode 26"

30 hours later the coins are still showing in my electrum wallet, not showing the sent transaction and i am unable to resend the coins because of the error.

use an online block explorer and check your address to see if the coins are sent or not. then come back here

Just copy the address which you sent your coins to and paste it in blockchain.info. Check whether the transaction has indeed gone through.

Usually there might be some delay depending on which server you are connected to and it shouldn't be more than a few minutes for it to show up.

Yours are indeed exceptional case. I have been using electrum for months now and I would say it's almost flawless.
