Honestly are the creators of bitcoin core having a laugh? Mining difficulty will be the reason that mining bitcoins becomes impossible. Why can't it be restricted? Before all bitcoins have been mined we won't even have the technology to mine them anymore. Is bitcoins quickly becoming extinct? What would happen if no one can mine a block anymore? Blockchain crash?

[/quote] If the transaction doesn't get confirmed, you can execute the client with a -zapwallettxes tag. This will remove unconfirmed transactions and scan the blockchain for confirmed transactions. On Windows, Code: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -zapwallettxes or on mac and linux, use a terminal and enter bitcoin-qt -zapwallettxes. You need to wait for a while for the mempool to drop your transaction. [/quote] Ahhhh that's great you are fantastic! -zapwallettxes worked immediately and credited back to my wallet. Thanks very much

[/quote] Your coins are still in your 1DBS9 address, it is reported as "spent" because it is used in a transaction. If that transaction never confirms, the 0.1 btc can be released back to "unpsent" status (with a bit of work in core client). [/quote] Thanks. So if I do something with the bitcoin core client could I get refunded?

Quote from: coinzat on December 18, 2015, 12:57:42 PM If you are looking for making transactions without fees then you can use coinbase as they pay the fees and will not charge you as long as you do not make tiny transactions Thanks but I am not looking to make free transactions I just did not realise fees were associated with transactions. It was my first time sending bitcoins and in future I will always add a fee. Just gutted now that I have a never ending transaction that has cost me £32. That's a very expensive loss for me considering it may never be credited back to my wallet. I use the main core client because coinbase and other online wallets could close any day and take your bitcoins with them. The risk is too high

I just assumed that the fee is added automatically. Anyway it's been 15 hours and is still unspent with zero confirmations. https://blockchain.info/address/18AB3AQw55DsHGwBGfVwJTGuTH98tCD6H You sent 0.1 btc on December 11th with a 0.00033571 btc fee, it confirmed within 1 minute. Today, you send another 0.1 btc from the same address. This time, it really has 0 fee. It should confirm in a few days. Don't worry too much. If you are not sure what you are doing, do not send transactions with zero fee. It's going to cause you problems. Which wallet are you using? Do you know how to attach a fee? No I sent 0.1 BTC without a fee on the 10th December. I do not know why the date has changed on BLOCKCHAIN.info. it still says the 10th on my CORE client. See image. The date keeps resetting on the blockchain. Meaning this transaction is NEVER being confirmed. The chain has stolen my bitcoins!!! It's been 8 days with no confirmations. I know I should now send a fee with a transaction but this is still ridiculous. You should get a warning in the bitcoin client that says miners are tight asses who refuse free transations instead of allowing bitcoin to steal our hard earned cash

Really surprised that why did you sent that transaction without paying any fee. Yes still unconfirmed after 4 days. It was my first bitcoin transaction so I did not know a fee was needed. Anytime with future payments I will always add a fee It says that the transaction was made yesterday 14 december, did you made the same mistake again without putting any fee? No the transaction was sent on the 10th. But the date seems to of changed on the blockchain. In my bitcoin core client it still says I sent it on the 10th so I don't know what's going on here

Or lost forever? Thanks
