Title: I am trying to spend coins but it's not working
Post by: slardar on February 11, 2013, 12:18:36 AM
I am new to bitcoin (also somewhat computer illiterate ),  using electrum, and I have a transaction at unconfirmed, 0 confirmations / pending for over 12 hours.. I lost connectivity when sending this and it has been stuck this way for a while, how to force some kind of rescan or resend the transaction?



Thanks!

Yeah, it's there, does that mean it will eventually clear?

Did you send it without any fee perhaps?

That depends; which one is it?
Transactions need to conform to a variety of rules to be included in a block (confirmed), and these rules are not the same across all miners. If you hop on IRC, a pool operator might be able to include your transaction. Another possibility is to spend the change back to yourself with a ridiculous fee; some custom miners will recognize the net gain and include your tx.
