Title: [SOLVED] Unconfirmed transactions-lost bitcoins Post by: billyjoeallen on May 24, 2011, 12:25:54 PM Hi,all. I attempted to backup my wallet as recommended and apparently I moved instead of copying the file. A new wallet was generated and when I replaced it with the original wallet, the transactions showed up, but they are unconfirmed. I regenerated the whole blockchain with no success. I deleted the original block index file-could that be the problem?
Title: Re: Unconfirmed transactions-lost bitcoins Post by: cypherdoc on May 24, 2011, 07:47:57 PM i've done something similar to this. i deleted BOTH block files while leaving the wallet.dat alone. my balance was there but all my tx's showed went to zero. the client then automatically downloaded a new block chain and it was cool to see all my tx's come back one by one to be confirmed. i'm thinking that the 2 block files might be linked so if you only originally deleted one that might have caused a problem. try redeleting both of them and redownloading.
Title: Re: Unconfirmed transactions-lost bitcoins Post by: billyjoeallen on May 24, 2011, 08:16:48 PM I tried that-no dice. Could I have damaged the wallet.dat file? bitcoin was running when I copied the file (yes, I know I should have closed it first before making a backup).

Could I have damaged the wallet.dat file? bitcoin was running when I copied the file (yes, I know I should have closed it first before making a backup). its a good sign the tx's and balance r showing up at least. how long r u waiting to see if they confirm? it can take a while. r u getting connections at the bottom and did the whole block chain download? u can also try closing client, moving wallet.dat file to a safe place, then deleting the entire contents of that folder including the block data files.

Title: Re: Unconfirmed transactions-lost bitcoins Post by: billyjoeallen on May 24, 2011, 09:24:06 PM I waited for over 100,000 blocks.
Title: Re: Unconfirmed transactions-lost bitcoins Post by: cypherdoc on May 25, 2011, 03:03:28 AM I waited for over 100,000 blocks. were these tx's previously confirmed? Title: Re: Unconfirmed transactions-lost bitcoins Post by: billyjoeallen on May 25, 2011, 04:34:28 PM yes, they were confirmed hundreds of times!
Title: Re: Unconfirmed transactions-lost bitcoins Post by: billyjoeallen on May 27, 2011, 01:05:09 AM UPDATE: problem fixed, transactions confirmed. un-installed, re-installed (3X!), re-named the original index directory (rather than deleting it) and used the back-up wallet.dat file and after a loooong time, the transactions were confirmed. :D
