Title: Transaction Lost.
Post by: NodeSeperator on December 10, 2013, 09:58:07 AM
I made a small transaction, but that transaction never was send. http://blockexplorer.com/tx/a6357fe4315050bf9255c9afa66a78630b652307f90a64e0e13093b5861e7dda say the transaction doesn't even excist.
however in Multibit the transaction details is: Pending/Unconfirmed. Seen by 1 peer. (doesn't increase in 24+ hours).


Does this happen often ?

Give us the Bitcoin address you used to send the BTC.

Uncertain, but it sounds like you sent a transaction with an insufficient transaction fee.  It appears that perhaps the peers that you are connected to are all refusing to relay the transaction to the rest of the network because of this insufficient fee.

Does the transaction have an output that is less than 0.00006000 BTC?
If so, this is considered non-standard and will not be relayed even if you include a fee.

Does the transaction have an output that is less than 0.01 BTC?
If so, this is considered "low priority" and will require a fee of at least 0.0001 BTC per kilobyte for many peers to relay it.

Is the transaction larger than 10 kilobytes?
If so, this is considered "low priority" and will require a fee of at least 0.0001 BTC per kilobyte for many peers to relay it.

If the transaction is less than 10 kilobytes in size, and all outputs are larger than 0.01 BTC, then it sounds like there is something wrong with your multibit wallet.  Are you running the more recent version, or are you running an older version of multibit?
