Title: Sent bitcoins and it has 0 confirmations
Post by: 1800ninjafrog on November 03, 2015, 04:58:38 PM
So I sent .99 bitcoins to my coin base wallet over an hour ago, and paid a  .00004 transaction fee, but my transaction still has 0 confirmations in the blockchain. It usually confirms whithin 5 or 10 minutes, why is this happening? What can i do to fix this?

Hard to say with the little information you provided. Do you mind sharing a TX ID?

If not:
- how many inputs/outputs does the TX contain/create?
- how large (in bytes) is it?
- is any of the outputs smaller than 2730 satoshi?
- what client did you use to create it?

Thanks. One of the ouputs is rather small 6651 Satoshi, but not dust. The fee is fine for the size in bytes, to confirm after ~6 blocks. There is a pretty higher number of transactions waiting for a confirmation though (see picture below or[1]). I gave your transaction a little push with my node, it should be confirmed soonish.

What he is trying to say is basically your transaction should be confirmed soon
and when it was confirmed the balance should appear on your wallet :)
so just wait and you will receive the coin ;)

It's been several hours and still nothing has happened. I tried the "repair wallet" to reset transactions several times, but it didn't do anything. It's still 0 confirmed.  ???

The queue is getting smaller, you will get your confirmation it might just take a while longer
