I recon I should stop rebroadcasting this TX now, right? It very likely will be forgotten by the network without it.

What wallet service/software are you using?

Edit: Just to clarify the fee you set is reckless, if you did not set it yourself, the wallet you use is badly designed. You may have acted in good faith, but you should not be surprised that someone thinks this is shady.

Yes, the overal speed depends on more than just bandwith.


You either used the "bootstrap.dat" in which case you did not safe any computation time, but rather wasted it by seperating download and verification. From the times you states and "precomputation" however I assume you downloaded a preverified blockchain. This is naturally faster, because you dont do all the work. Thus the comparisson is invalid and you need to trust the other party to not have messed with the blockchain.

You should verifiy the blocks to avoid this exact problem, trusting someone else. The same way you verify the binaries you download or the signed message you receive.


Which will require you to trust that person and their ability to secure their PGP key. People are not hesitating to run a full node because of the initial time it takes, but because of the constant time it needs to download and verify data. If it would just be 1-3 days (relativly modern desktop/laptop computer) it would not be an issue.

Its probably something you should ask yobit.

... oder andere Erfahrungen gemacht. Ist diese Diskussion hier wirklich sinnvoll?

Komisch, immer wenn ich meine lokale Bank gehe, sind die alle sauber, geduscht, tragen Anzüge und sprechen deutlich und freundlich.

two days? What does the debug.log say?

If you think this was done intentionally you can open a thread in scam accusation with the usual format there. I would keep this as it is or use it to follow up on the technical details.

You can also instead of just keep pushing the TX, spend the coins you received and pay a fee high enough for both TX (known as child pays for parent - CPFP) or contact a pool operator directly and ask if they would include the TX (or the TX and the CPFP TX). Im not sure if coinbase allows spending unconfirmed coins though, so that might not be an option.

Just let the thread die. The OP obviously bought the account or it was compromised during the last db breach.

Just in case: https://archive.is/DlugF

No, blockchain.info is a service, what you do locally will not change their perception of the blockchain.

You can however:

#1 export from bc.i
#2 import to core
#3 create competing TX
#4 ? ? ?

Since the topic comes up. The receiver can defened against a double spend by rebroadcasting the original transaction, lets call it A and your double spend B. Any network node that knows about A will not accept and not relay B. The receiver can also attempt to create a follow up transaction C with a higher fee in the hopes that a CPFP miner will pick them (A & C) up.

That just means a full node run by coinbase knows about the transaction. It does not improve the chances to get confirmed. Well, unless coinbase automatically rebroadcasts receiving transactions, but I dont think they do.

Still says 0 confirmations.

Which app? Do you have a backup?

Thanks, again

How can you say its low if you dont know what the size of the transaction is?


Welcome,

be careful with advice you get here, because some users post to get paid for the signature and not to help others. There are also users that actually want to help, but dont know enough to do so. They may or may not have a paid signature. In general you should take everything you read here with a grain of salt.

Anyway, to the topic.

Its actually not normal that you usually have 2-3 confirmation within 10 minutes. On average(!) every 10 minutes a block is found. Thus you should get 1 confirmation every 10 minutes on average. There are also many transactions waiting for a confirmation. Currently ~28k



The miners that include the transaction into blocks and get you your first confirmation prioritize by fee per byte, because the size of a block is limited and they want to get as much bitcoin as possible. Thus it is possible that you have wait for a few blocks until a miner picks up your transaction. From my personal experience with mycelium the "normal" fee option is usually fine, but you might not get included in the next block. So I would suggest you wait a little longer. The "priority" fee can help with this if the transaction is urgent.

It uses a hash function to calculate a hash from given data. A hash function is a special algorithm that can not be reversed directly. The simplest example would be the function x². You can set x = 2 and get the result 4, but you would get the same result for x = -2. Thus you can not reverse the result of such a function and know the original value. In the case of x² there are 2 possible values. Most hash functions are more complex of course.


Mining (in proof of work) is hashing slightly different versions of given data until you find a hash with a certain property.


A GPU can be used to calculate a hash, it can not make a coin. This is usually done by people writing code.


I dont think so, but Im no lawyer and I dont know all laws for all countries.


Its actually more of a lottery than a puzzle. The rules of bitcoins code say that anyone that finds a hash with a certain property gets a reward. This is not true for any puzzle. E.g. you can use a GPU to solve the question "what is the password for shorena's wallet file" and might get the answer "abc123def", but sadly the wallet file is empty so no reward for you.

I dont know, the fee is very low. If you want to make sure the transaction is not forgotten by the network, open the transaction itself (not the address) on blockchain.info and append ?format=hex to the URL.

Like this (should be the one you care about, there are two for the above address though): https://blockchain.info/tx/751da63e633df680db6a29633475d11198bd096d0a75938d74f9b2cccea1da77?format=hex

If you open the URL now you will see the raw transaction.

In this example its


you can use the raw version to rebroadcast this via different platforms.

Here is a list -> https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_broadcasting

If you use bitcoin core you can also do it yourself with:


from the build in console. It will - due to the low fee - probably return an error though.

Rebroadcasting a TX will make sure its not forgotten which makes it very difficult to double spend. It can still take a long time to get confirmed (think days or weeks with a fee that low).
