Title: Cannot send unconfirmed coins from rpc. Post by: mb300sd on June 19, 2012, 11:08:45 PM I cannot seem to get bitcoind to allow me to send 0-confirm coins. Is this by design, or a bug? I'm using the latest version from the ubuntu ppa.
I've tried both sendfrom and sendmany. sendfrom <fromaccount> <tobitcoinaddress> <amount> [minconf=1] [comment] [comment-to] sendmany <fromaccount> {address:amount,...} [minconf=1] [comment] root@bt:~# bitcoind getbalance 2.8245 root@bt:~# bitcoind getbalance "" 0 23.7164 root@bt:~# bitcoind sendfrom "" 1Meb94yEgFWN8SQ5JYVNTXU12qBa7a1eiY 20 0 error: {"code":-4,"message":"Insufficient funds"} Title: Re: Cannot send unconfirmed coins from rpc.

You don't know what block they will be included in. What are you talking about?! You reference previous transactions, not blocks or block headers.Title: Re: Cannot send unconfirmed coins from rpc.

If you REALLY want to shoot yourself in the foot, I've got a pull request for the 0.7 release that adds 'raw transaction' RPC commands that will let you do all sorts of dangerous things, including Title: Re: Cannot send unconfirmed coins from rpc.

Very handy, and I think it'll do unconfirmed transactions just fine!Title: Re: Cannot send unconfirmed coins from rpc.

That works for me, the 20BTC transaction was just an example I could post quickly, I'm really writing a satoshidice bot, and I'd like to keep it's balance very low... I've never noticed that it didn't allow it before, I use coin control and send to myself fairly often, I'm guessing those transactions are included as "change" Title: Re: Cannot send unconfirmed coins from rpc.

Post by: mcorlett on June 20, 2012, 02:53:45 AM I had seen a 21 million transaction in a unconfirmed state a while back. It soon disappeared, though. Impossible. Perhaps 21 million base units, but not bitcoins. |
