Title: Transfer not working / 0 confirmations
Post by: Riemen on June 16, 2011, 08:49:17 AM
Hello
I sent a small amount of 0,27 BTC to my wallet. I have seen it nearly instantly in my client.
Now after more than seven hours, I still have 0 confirmations.

The transfer is correctly listed on Deepbit and still visible in the client, but seems to be not processed.
Blockexplorer tells me there is "No such transaction"

So what went wrong with this? I mean 0,27 coins is not that much, but what if this happens when sending a huge amount? Are there any chances, this transfer will eventually be confirmed?

Where was it sent from?  How much transaction fee was added?  At the moment, transactions with 0 transaction fee (or sub 0.01) are taking a while to be verified (a few hours), because clients are taking a while to catch up with the new transaction fee minimums.

Oh, I forgot: It was sent from deepbit.

I must admit, there was no transaction fee added.

I'm just astonished, because in the last days, transactions went much faster. I always had the first confirmations after minutes. So 7 hours with zero confirmations seems really long to me...

Just got the first 2 confirmations.

So this can be closed.

perhaps your client wasn't downloading the block chain.  Always check that the number in the bottom right of your bitcoin client, matches the number here (http://blockexplorer.com/q/getblockcount).
