Title: Transaction Problems
Post by: hachacha on March 18, 2011, 03:24:01 PM
So I got a new netbook and I wanted to transfer some things to my new bitcoin account. I got .05 btc from the bitcoin faucet, and it detected and stayed at 0/unconfirmed since that day, its 2 days later and its still at 0/unconfirmed. But worse than that is that I transfered 60 btc from my other account to my new account, it says that it sent but it hasn't even detected it on my new account. Did I lose my 60btc?

You didn't lose anything. How many blocks do you have? You won't see transactions until you have them all (currently 114031).

Still having the same problems. It says 114059 blocks

That's odd. Try deleting everything in your data directory except wallet.dat.

Tried it last night. I shut down bitcoin and then moved all but wallet.dat to another folder. I started bitcoin back up and it connected and I left it run for an hour, no changes. This morning when I turned my computer on bitcoin says: Error loading blkindex.dat
So... I guess I will copy my wallet and try and reinstall bitcoin. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I reinstalled bitcoin and moved my wallet over and its still giving me the blkindex.dat error, what should I do? Restoring the blkindex.dat from last night just made it give a different error (NSt8ios_base7failureE CAutoFile::read : end of file bitcoin.exe in CMyApp::OnUnhandledException()) and it won't load. After restoring all of the files and not just wallet.dat and blkindex.dat it loaded again. Hopefully it will work now but its still at 0/unconfirmed for the .05 btc transaction but my 60 btc transaction still hasn't shown up yet.

This makes me think your antivirus is messing with blkindex.dat.

If you're using the most recent version of Bitcoin, try running it with the -rescan switch.

Thanks! Rescan got my 60btc transferred. The .05 btc is still 0/unconfirmed though.

Perhaps the transaction fee wasn't high enough. The transaction will be in limbo until a node decides to include it in the block it's working on and then then solves the block.

The .05 btc is still 0/unconfirmed though.

Run Bitcoin with the -debug switch, double-click the transaction, and paste the transaction dump here.

Here is what the debug said:
CTransaction(hash=2dd49b23d9, ver=1, vin.size=1, vout.size=2, nLockTime=0)
   CTxIn(COutPoint(582aa5010e, 0), scriptSig=304402205909c6c767e6c709)
   CTxOut(nValue=3.80000000, scriptPubKey=OP_DUP OP_HASH160 34eb3874ccb3)
   CTxOut(nValue=0.05000000, scriptPubKey=OP_DUP OP_HASH160 10cfe3c1d805)

That transaction is confirmed:

If it still says that it's unconfirmed, your block database files (which you deleted before) must be corrupted. Probably an antivirus problem.

On a related note... The 60btc transfer went through. Then I had problems with windows. So I ran a copy of Ubuntu off a USB drive and used my wallet file on the linux version of bitcoin. It said that the 60btc hadn't been transferred! Weird. I will try loading the wallet into another windows computer.

Can somebody please help me. I need to get my bitcoins, it had already said I received a transaction of 60.10 btc but after trying my wallet.dat in ubuntu and on windows xp its saying that the 60.1btc transaction is 0/unconfirmed. Does this mean I'm never getting my bitcoins? If so, this will really turn me off of bitcoins, if you can lose your money like that its not worth putting trust in. But I'm a big supporter of bitcoins and I hope I will be able to get my bitcoins back.
EDIT: I forgot to try and rescan, should I try that again? It seemed to work last time, but then when I tried my wallet on another computer it started saying it was still 0/unconfirmed
I ran debug and this what it says:
CTransaction(hash=7ce4777f56, ver=1, vin.size=4, vout.size=1,
nLockTime=0)
  CTxIn(COutPoint(26fee4493b, 1),

  CTxIn(COutPoint(bc91897b3c, 0),

  CTxIn(COutPoint(bd4f6e582b, 0),

  CTxIn(COutPoint(08d4b9609e, 1),
