Title: Unconfirmed transactions
Post by: TheRealSteven on March 12, 2019, 01:17:07 AM
Okay - get this...I have a "few" unconfirmed transactions in my blockchain wallet. They're all at pending status...0/3 confirmations from several months ago - the coins did not return to the sender...yet! They are apparently still heading to me, and my question; how can I get these to confirm into my wallet? I am not able to broadcast the transaction within blockchain push feature. Thank you for the quick responses squad!

Can you post those transaction IDs and/or the receiver/sender address?

I suppose - could I message them to you privately?

Sure. PM me them if you want.

Which "Blockchain wallet"?
Can you tell us the full name because it looks like it's an issue with that particular service to me because transaction will not be stuck in a limbo for months.

There's no security issue with sharing TxID or Addresses, just privacy.
If you do not want to share it, at least provide more accurate info.

By the way, if it is Blockchain.info, the push Tx is only for broadcasting signed raw transactions, not an accelerator.

My apologies - the unconfirmed transactions are within the main Blockchain.info (Luxembourg) wallet...they are all pending at 0/3 confirmations. It is mining payment from Slush's pool.

Transactions id's are as follows

Weird, those transactions were "mined" a long time ago.

For example (the 1st and second txs):
  • 182e53896c877ac1b7ecdd98cbf90d84e4ebb89e065be11e302cd39930864199 (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/182e53896c877ac1b7ecdd98cbf90d84e4ebb89e065be11e302cd39930864199) was mined last 2014-10-17
  • adccf7af58e6d9c33b555d7f09e9164d8fc5bff53b869c60e9ee87da2c79e624 (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/adccf7af58e6d9c33b555d7f09e9164d8fc5bff53b869c60e9ee87da2c79e624) was mined at the same date too.
Also, the address 15NgSxPvHToDCUYPrAbK3tiWhyE5czQ9Lf was last used in April 2018.

If based from the Bitcoin's network, there's no problem with the transactions (as a matter of fact, the inputs were already spent).
It's either a problem with blockchain.info (now ".com") or the wallet account/backup itself (assuming that it's an old backup).

You should contact blockchain.com's CS since they are the one who are partially in control of your funds there.
For the latter, are you the one who've created this wallet or was it sold/given to you by someone?

Well I can not see any issue here.
The funds were received to this address: 15NgSxPvHToDCUYPrAbK3tiWhyE5czQ9Lf
The funds were spent from the address too long ago.

So what exactly the problem with OP?

Eh, you just rephrased the first sentence of the third paragraph of my previous post ???
Read the OP?: It is being displayed as "0/3 confirmation" in blockchain(dot)com's wallet and based on his replies, he has no idea that it was spent years ago.

As the quoted part says, he should contact the CS why is his old and spent tx are being displayed like "that". (for clarification).
Who knows, they might have spent it since they still have the control of the SEEDs and private keys, but that's quite unrealistic.

Additional questions were asked because he might be a a victim of a scam where the scammer offers a loaded fake/tempered/watch-only wallet backups or he's using a fake website URL (just some possibilities);
there could be other things that might have happened, but the problem isn't Bitcoin.

You won't be able to rebroadcast or make it confirmed as it was already confirmed it seems, and somehow your blockchain wallet shows the wrong info. It's weird, my first seeing this. I previously assume blockchain is quite fast to synchronize the wallet as they're a web wallet. Hmm.

Just to confirm, the address - 15NgSxPvHToDCUYPrAbK3tiWhyE5czQ9Lf belongs to you? Are you also the one that initiated the transaction from your address 15NgSxPvHToDCUYPrAbK3tiWhyE5czQ9Lf to 1HRM7zk6bv4EPaVv34rR371jpoirfghUg4 on 2014-10-18 in the amount $1,521.84?

I am asking because if it wasn't you then someone else has access to your wallet.
About those unconfirmed transactions that were never credited to your wallet, did you initiate those, were you supposed to receive them or do you just see them as unconfirmed within your wallet?
