Title: Help with unconfirmed transactions disappearing funds..
Post by: desecration29 on November 09, 2015, 03:12:44 AM
Hey guys, if someone could help me that'd be great..had some help a couple days back, and used -zapwallettxes=1 to clear 3 unconfirmed transactions that were never actually sent out from my wallet; but what I can't figure out is where the funds are because they're not in my balance.

One transaction was on 10/25, and the other 2 on 10/31. I sent the funds to different address's, but they never went through and confirmed, checked blockchain and nothing as well.

Did a -rescan, and still doesn't seem to show my funds.. Please help if you can, would be much appreciated; not big amounts, just would like to figure it out though, thanks!

If you cleared the unconfirmed transactions from your wallet and the network does not know about them, they essentially never happened. You should still have access to the input as you had before you created the TX. Unless you used unconfirmed inputs that might have been removed as well.

If you can coin control enabled you can see what you have available under "send" -> "inputs"

Thanks for your reply.. I did that and under it there are 2 transactions, but they are not the one's that I had in my wallet and when I go to select those it says "Insufficient funds!"

People will have a easier time helping you if you post the transaction IDs of the transactions you are talking about.
They contain a large amount of information you might not be telling us.

I'd be happy to do that, but I'm not sure how to do that since they were cleared with the -zapwallettxes=1 command

We should be able to view the transactions if you know the addresses that were used.
One thing I'm sure of is that funds can't simply disappear.

afraid they can, please check out my other thread here, OP have you upgraded your client recently? you might need to go back and reset everything with a backup wallet.dat, I saved alot of money in my case.
for some reason the new 11.1 core did not import some of my generated income addresses properly.

Yes I actually did friend. I upgraded to the newest, 0.11.1 from the beta client, deleted the beta client, but I assumed the wallet would update and such, which clearly I was wrong. How can I go about fixing this?

the only way I sorted this was to revert back to an older client. I also used an older wallet backup too. from what I can work out with my tx/id the new core did not import some private keys to input addresses I made (when I click create receiving address) so in my history I could see BTC coming in, then straight back out with no forwarding address, just a transaction ID, upon looking on blockchain.info the money is just sitting on my addresses not moved?

I am not sure how to solve it with new core, sorry I cant be more help but people refuse core to be the problem, claiming it's infallible.
