I'm having a problem with a double spent transaction so i can't use the accelerator to speed this up. does anyone know when these typically get thrown back to the original wallet?
ID: 6662fa362acde6a03aa267fb3f7636a4ad3af32af91aa2ba1a6f6542da808d93
FYI I'm using Electrum
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
I think you can use the accelerator. I couldn't find your double spend in any block explorers, which means it's probably badly propagated. The accelerator probably can't see the double spend either. If you want me to try using the accelerator let me know.

Your wallet probably has a well known problem that's been discussed in numerous threads here. There's some solutions you can try in this quote. If you read through the threads in this board you will find more about the problem, and alternative solutions. ... your wallet probably has a well known bug. The simplest fix is to install bread wallet on an iPhone or newer android phone, and use your multibit HD wallet seed words to create a new wallet in it. Afterwards all the addresses and balances from your multibit HD wallet will appear in bread wallet, and you can send your coins wherever you like. According to dfevvbox bread wallet running on an iPhone can only use 12 word multibit HD wallet seed phrases. Breadwallet won't work with 18 word on iOS it says seed should be 12 word
On the other hand, HCP says bread wallet running on an android can import both 12 and 18 word multibit HD wallet seed phrases. I was honestly expecting it to say the same thing when I tried it on Android, but it worked perfectly with 18 words...
Unfortunately bread wallet won't install on older android phones, but HCP says "Simple Bitcoin Wallet" installs on them and that it can use MultiBit HD seeds. ...f you have an older Android device "Simple Bitcoin Wallet" also supports MultiBit HD seeds (tested with 12 and 18 word seeds). If you can't use any of those solutions there are detailed instructions for using an offline webpage to extract the private keys from your MultiBit HD seed words at this link. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777815.msg17773212#msg17773212There are screenshots of the settings to use in that offline webpage at this link. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1785575.msg17819126#msg17819126After you get your private keys you can install electrum and import them into it using the instructions here. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-import-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clients

Pretty sure it isn't. When I use "encrypt wallet file", I get a wallet file that looks a bit like this: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FrC0jvAp.png&t=665&c=2A5qtAyHCwI1hA) If I untick that, then sure... JSON with encrypted keystore entries: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FmGs96Sg.png&t=665&c=SAWhP1x1q-NGRw) This was switched on by default since 2.8 apparently: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#how-is-the-wallet-encryptedYou can tell which setup you have based on whether or not Electrum asks for a password when you first start it up (or open a wallet). If it asks for the passphrase, the wallet file is encrypted, so it needs the passphrase to open and read it and load your addresses/transactions. If it just opens up and displays all your transactions etc and only needs a password to send or sign messages etc, then the wallet file itself is unencrypted (but obviously your keystore is still encrypted) Yes, I forgot about that. If you leave the password blank when creating a wallet in 2.8 you get an unencrypted wallet file. I have been leaving the password fields blank in my personal wallets, so the change to whole wallet file encryption slipped my mind. However, a bitcoin core wallet.dat is still in a completely different format to an electrum wallet.

$2451 on Stamp, atm. Nice recovery after we sunk all the way down into the $1800's only a matter of days ago. I wonder what the chances are of a pump to $3000 in the short term.
It's possible. Every time I think it can't keep going up at this speed it goes up higher. I didn't experience any of the previous mega rallies. Maybe that's why I keep thinking it's not sustainable for it to keep going up in value quickly. During the bear market every pump preceded a bigger crash. I haven't yet got used to every small crash preceding a bigger pump.

Did you only ever use one password for that wallet, or did you ever change it? In 2013 if you added a password multibit classic made a timestamped backup in a folder whose name ends in -data. If you changed your password multibit classic made another timestamped backup. The first password would only work with the first timestamped backup, and the second password would only work with the second timestamped backup. You said you had several rolling backups and a .key file. You can choose to manually create a .key file, but if you change your password multibit automatically creates one. If you ever changed your password then try all possible combinations of passwords and backups. When you add a password to a wallet MultiBit creates a timestamped copy of it in the
"name of wallet"-data/wallet-backup
directory.
Then when you change the password it creates another timestamped copy in the same directory.
Thus your older backup will use the older password. You should be able to open it, it will sync and then you can spend using your old password.
When you change the password it does tell you that OLD backups are not being changed to tell you that if your old password had been compromised you would need to take further action.

I hear the stampede coming in bitstamp. 4200BTC in sell orders one hour ago, 3600BTC right now.
Possible breakout at 2350$ support.
2350$ is past already. Yup, faster than expected lol. Just after that Bitstamp stopped loading well in my pc, so i suppose the fun started ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Next resistance? On OKCoin it's 16800 CNY. The Chinese are throwing money at Bitcoin on OKCoin now they are allowed to withdraw Bitcoins again. It nice that they now allow the withdrawal of bitcoin via OKcoin but how about the KYC issue. Nevertheless, The Chinese might throw money into bitcoin but the trade made on Bitstamp is pretty cool than that of Okcoin at the moment. I think they want excessive KYC like ID cards scans, and video verification. Some users who can't provide it will lose their Bitcoins. Okcoin is also imposing a $1m annual limit. The whales won't be happy about that. A million dollars is small change to a whale. How can Chinese whales manipulate the price on Okcoin if they are only allowed to withdraw a million dollars a year? http://www.coindesk.com/okcoin-huobi-move-end-chinas-bitcoin-withdrawal-freeze/A representative for has OKCoin confirmed a report today that withdrawals had resumed at the exchange, one of the largest in the world by volume. The spokesperson added, however, that withdrawals would be contingent on passing a verification requirement and prescribing to a $1m annual limit.

Search for the addresses from your multibit wallet in these block explorers. If none of the block explorers show they recently sent coins then your transactions probably weren't broadcast. https://blockchain.info/https://live.blockcypher.com/https://www.blocktrail.com/BTCIf your transactions show as unconfirmed in those block explorers then try submitting the transaction IDs to this website exactly on the hour. If that website says successful then the viabtc mining pool will confirm your transactions in the next block it mines. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/If your transactions weren't broadcast I suggest switching from using multibit classic to using electrum. Electrum can pay high enough fees to get fast confirmations. There's instructions explaining how to switch to electrum without moving your coins at this link. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1922317.msg19181835#msg19181835I would advise you not to use multibit classic because the network has so many unconfirmed transactions that multibi's highest fee isn't enough to get fast confirmations.

Can you find a file called decoded.key after you run the quoted command? If you can find it, and open it in notepad it should look like the example HCP posted.
If you can't find decoded.key then try this command instead of the one you were using, but swap 111111111111111 for your password.
openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -a -in my_private_key.key -pass pass:111111111111111 > decoded.key
If a file called decoded.key appears in the openssl folder after you run it then it worked.

Glidera failed to suggest a proper transaction fee, so I have a transaction that's been stuck since May 6. Today is the first time I've opened MultiBit HD in 15 days, hoping that the supposed 14 day timeout on transactions means that my BTC would be returned to my wallet. No dice. Before, my BTC was at least listed as confirmed in MultiBit but now they don't even show as that. I've run a repair in Multibit with no effect. The problematic transactions are still listed as unconfirmed. I can't double spend because MultiBit doesn't allow that. I've seen pywallet, but it doesn't look like it works with MultiBit HD. Is there any hope for me ever recovering this money? https://blockchain.info/tx/000af7d93bca8b2040b89ca9292b13b138a2d540ccce3fc4f2faeb6461004ca8Submit your transaction's ID to this website on the hour every hour until it says acceleration succeeded. Afterwards the viabtc mining pool will confirm your transaction in the next block it mines. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/There are only 100 free slots an hour, and they are in demand. To stand a chance of getting accepted you have to submit your transaction exactly on the hour, not a few seconds later.

Hi All,
I'll be brief:
Version 0.14.1 64 bit OS: Windows 10 Specs: Core i7, 6 GB Ram, using external USB 3.0 HD for block chain save. No room on internal SSD for entire chain.
Problem: The damn sync is downloading at 0.05% per hour. I already made my original bitcoin purchase and at this rate I won't be able to spend it for around half a year. It's apparently too late to decide to use a "lightweight" wallet because I've already made a transaction using an address number that was generated in Bitcoin Core.
Please... PLEASE help! I'm not a techy person, but I thought I followed the instructions for a brand new bitcoin user very well. I just need to speed up this 120 GB download.
Ugh.. I don't even know how to put a screenshot in here... I don't know how to use HTML.
dunno how fast that USB 3.0 drive is, but HDD speed (and CPU) are the major chokes on how fast it syncs, assuming you have enough bandwidth. Didn't say when this 0.05% per hour started, but if you have an 'average' system, it should be super fast to 40-50% (maybe 20-30% now, been half a year since I did a full sync), the middle portions uses huge bandwidth, and the last quarter or a third it'll churn that cpu and hdd. i have an i7-980x, and don't have major issues with speed.. if bandwidth/internet connection (packetloss) are eliminated, would be almost positive it's that USB 3.0 (since you mention your internal SSD, I guess this USB 3.0 isn't SSD ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ) ... I've never used Electrum or any of these lite clients.. does it not use the same wallet file? No electrum uses a comopletely different wallet file format to Bitcoin core. If you open a core wallet.dat in a text editor it appears as random characters. If you open an electrum wallet file in a text editor it's human readable.

Click file, then receiving addresses. Find the address you sent coins to in the window that opens, right click it, and select copy address. Close the addresses window. Click help, then debug window. In the debug window that opens click console. In the text box at the bottom of the window type dumpprivkey yourAddresswhere yourAddress is the address you sent coins to and copied earlier. Press your enter key. The private key for that address should appear in the console window. Copy it. This is an example private key.

Was your wallet.dat file encrypted (was it password protected)? How old was the bitcoin software you used to generate it? The database it uses changed from one type to another years ago. During 2013 it changed from using Berkeley DB to LevelDB. When you say the "original bitcoin wallet program" do you mean the first ever bitcoin software released by satoshi? I have the original bitcoin wallet program, which was version 0.1.0 I tested generating three different wallet.dat files with it, and opening them in a hex editor. The results are below. They all begin with this sequence of bytes "00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 62 31 05 00 09 00 00 00 00 20". If you search your hard drive for that sequence you might locate an old wallet file. 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 62 31 05 00 09 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 DA 40 08 00 00 00 29 00 A7 04 B9 12 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 62 31 05 00 09 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 D9 40 08 00 00 00 1D 00 BE 0B C7 29 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 62 31 05 00 09 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 D9 40 08 00 00 00 1E 00 29 54 36 19 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Okay, thanks! How long do you think it will take for the Bitcoins to go though if I do nothing and just wait? I currently have 0 BTC in my wallet after the last transaction so I'm gonna need to buy more for quicksellers or mackbook-airs fee.
I don't know, it depends how many unconfirmed transactions there are in the network. There's been a huge backlog for weeks. It was starting to go down, but its started going up again today. There are currently over 90000 unconfirmed transactions in the network. https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactionsThis website currently recommends paying 420 satoshis/byte for fast confirmations. but your low fee transaction only pays a fee rate of 76 satoshis/byte. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/A few months ago the network would either have confirmed it or forgotten it within three days. However, recently people have been complaining that the network hasn't forgotten their low fee transactions after three weeks because some nodes keep rebroadcasting them. If you do nothing you might get lucky, or might possibly have to wait weeks. I'll try the viabtc accelerator again on the next hour. editI tried, but was unlucky again. I got a "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later." message. edit2I successfully submitted your transaction to viabtc's accelerator. The viabtc pool will confirm it in the next block it mines if no other pool confirms it. It normally mines a few blocks a day, so it should be confirmed by this time tomorrow. There's a list of viabtc's latest mined block times here. https://blockchain.info/blocks/ViaBTCedit3ViaBTC confirmed your transaction when it mined block 468956. It's now got 12 confirmations.

Thanks! Yes, I have access to that address. I read achow101's thread but I don't know that much about Bitcoin and english isn't my first language so I'm a little confused about what I should do. Also I tried the accelerator but it seems like I was to slow this time. :/ Will try again later.
I can't advise you how to make a child pays for parent transaction in core because I don't have enough experience. An alternative you might try is contacting either quickseller or macbook-air, and asking them if they will confirm your transaction for a fee. They both have access to f2pool, which confirm your transaction. You can contact them by clicking these links. However, they are probably overloaded with requests to confirm transactions, so might not reply. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=358020https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=16114They charged 0.0001 BTC per transaction last year, but probably want a lot more now. I faced a similar issue a few days back transaction not getting confirmed due to low fee but user "QuickSeller" got my transaction confirmed in minutes when I sent him 0.0001 BTC. He has access to some pool . PM him.

If you saved your wallet files to a storage device like your computer's hard drive, or a flash drive then you could use software called pywallet to scan the drive for private keys. This is the pywallet thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.0
|
|

Oh, okay. Thanks! I only tried it with the "new" transaction ID, but I'll try it with the low fee one next time on the hour! But other than that, I just gotta wait for it to confirm?
If you control the address the coins are being sent to then you might be able to do a child pays for parent transaction. Is 1BgYCcho6KgCnQBYA4qh1gDbzgyFivqhXE an address you control? Achow101 explains child pays for parent transactions in this quote from the linked thread. Unfortunately I don't have enough experience of using core to advise you about them, but I'm sure other users with more experience will help. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0*snip*
Attempting a Child-Pays-For-Parent transaction
What is a Child-Pays-For-Parent transaction?
A Child-Pays-For-Parent (CPFP) transaction is exactly as the name implies, a child transaction spends from an unconfirmed parent transaction and includes a transaction fee which covers both the fee of the child and the parent. However creating CPFP transactions are much more difficult as it requires spending from an unconfirmed transaction, something that most wallets do not allow.

Okay, thank you so much for the help! I've never had a transaction taking this long to confirm with the highest fee, so I got a little worried. The problem is that there's two transactions in the double spend, one with a high fee, and the other with a low fee. Unfortunately most nodes and block explorers can only see the one with the low fee. Luckily the viabtc transaction accelerator can only see the low fee transaction. That means if you can get it to accept it the viabtc mining pool will confirm it in the next block it mines. The viabtc accelerator only accepts 100 transactions an hour and it's overloaded. If you submit your transaction ID to it exactly on the hour it might accept it. I just tried but I was too late, all the available slots had been taken a few seconds after the hour. Try submitting this transaction ID to it on the hour 3eb102f7273c983e0fd52567da7ca41e3ef66a232f7d611ce563989376d78115 This is the link to the accelerator. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/Maybe someone else can suggest a better solution. I'm not very experienced at using core.

|
|
Yes, recognize it. That was the first time I tried to send them, but after seeing that it was still unconfirmed today I tried to resend it a couple of hours ago using -zapwallettxes. What should I do?
If you wait long enough one of the transactions will confirm. They both send coins to the same address, so that address will receive the coins sooner or later.
