There's finally 6 confirmations and the balance is reflected in my exchange wallet now. It then detect the -6.93 transaction and marked it as a conflict, and my remaining balance in my wallet still has 1.93 BTC.

That is the 5 BTC transaction that I sent before. It was shown in block 457837 but was locked with no confirmation for like 10 hours. I will make sure to check the on-going rate for fast confirmation next time I need to send BTC.

The 1DvNDLojJ9BAHfAaCCyxU65QZ6y4naup5j address cause me to panic as I don't know what it was before. Thanks for your help and clarification. 

Here's the 0.14 screenshot, it shows 0 available balance


The Abandon transaction is grey out.


The 0.12.1 shows the 6.93 balance but does not have the any transaction record anymore, not even the first 5BTC one.




The first transaction is already in block 457837 though, just not confirming yet, so I am not sure if it will be forgotten.

What's your advice to do at this point? I tried to create a conflicting transaction with -6.93 transaction, the transaction ID does not exist in the blockchain web service, showed as 0/unconfirmed, in memory pool. When I sent this the 2nd time after I screw up the 5BTC transaction, I set the recommended fee to the fastest with 2 blocks confirmation (about 0.0019 BTC/KB from what I recall), I didn't set it using Custom though. I read that it needs at least 0.0022 BTC per kilobyte to send right now?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I did a few transactions using Bitcoin Core a month ago, they work ok but not this time.

Today I try to send 5 BTC to my exchange wallet and the transaction got stuck because I use the default fee per byte and it's still showing as unconfirmed transaction.

I tried Bitcoin-qt --zapwallettxes=1 at first on Bitcoin Core 0.12.1 and my balance shows my original amount. I then use Blockexplorer which doesn't provide up to date info and I thought I still have the original amount in the wallet address. I try to send my entire amount 6.93 to a new wallet address that I generate. The client show 0 after the sent, but using Blockchain.info show the new address never get the amount.

My concern is

1) I am not sure if this transaction will be forget by the network in a few days after I stop the client and wait for blockchain.info to report the transaction is gone.


There are 2 destination address, the 5 BTC going to my exchange wallet 3DgGLF..., the 0.516xxxx BTC is an unknown address 1DvNDL. Blockchain.info shows the 1DvNDL has 1 transaction only. The fee is shown as 0.0001107 BTC. Why is the 0.516xxx BTC so high and what address is this?

2) I try to make a new address and try to send all balance to myself using higher fee, but I still am not able to move the balance probably because my real balance is 1.37 currently as shown in blockchain.info?



3) This is the balance shown in blockchain.info, if the transaction get cancel, the balance will be 6.8959193.

But my Bitcoin wallet is shown to have 6.93xxx. Why? I did a few transfer to myself previously.


4) I upgrade Bitcoin Core to 0.14. It remember that I sent the 6.935 Bitcoin in my 2nd transaction and show my available as 0BTC, even when I -zapwallettxes=1. When I downgrade back to 0.12.1, it shows I still have 6.9354 BTC available, and the sync is up to date? Why?
I am so lost.

Please help. Thanks.
