1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [free] help with your stuck transaction on: December 22, 2017, 01:16:56 AM
I do appreciate you want to do this for me, but if you don't mind too much, I would prefer to learn how to do this myself.

If you rather just handle this one for me, around 700sat/byte (1.5mBTC) is what Electrum automatically puts the fee on. This is fine if you think that is what it takes at the moment. Take it from 1Nejxrk4Y9Q2eQ6YTd3hMi46uSnnN4Ghbn. I do see a Sign and Broadcast button when I preview a transaction, so I should be able to handle it from there.

Thanks again.

I'm a big fan of people wanting to learn Smiley
The "problem" is that it's easyer to create a raw, unsigned transaction if you're running a synced node (like i am doing), electrum is perfect for signing transactions, but not so good at doublespending unspent outputs that have already been spent.

If you want to learn the basics, you can download the sourcecode of coinb.in, i've actually written a small post on my blog on it's basic usage a long time ago: http://www.mocacinno.com/blog/create-sign-broadcast-transactions-using-coinb/
I wouldn't use coinb.in to sign the transaction tough (so you don't need to follow the complete article).

If you succeeded in creating a double spending tx using coinb.in, please post the unsigned transaction in this thread and i'll review it for you and give you some pointers on how to sign it using electrum Smiley

Alright, I have tried following the tutorial, but getting stuck far too soon already lol. I think I will need some more time to learn slowly and will keep working on it. For now, would you be so kind to create the double spend tx with around 700sat/byte from the 1Nejxrk4Y9Q2eQ6YTd3hMi46uSnnN4Ghbn wallet?

Thanks bud Smiley

I made a quick guide on how to double spend using electrum....  this should help you, and those that need the transactions to go through if OP is not online:

HAHA, AWESOME! This worked on one of my stuck transactions!

Thanks so much.. Now I have to convince the sender of my other stuck transaction to do the same. Thank you sir!

Awesome.  The hardest part is deleting the tx in the json file, if you arent familiar with json, people get confused by the commas, etc.

Will you post the txn that you created that worked?

Here is a text from the page, the page has pics showing step by step also, in case people don't wanna click links, which I totally understand.  This is a direct copy paste from the page.





Recently, the Bitcoin mempool has filled up, with 250,000+ unconfirmed transactions, causing miners fees to skyrocket above 1000 sat/b.  Many people have transactions pending that are sitting with fees of under 500 sat/b, that are stuck.  You can possibly wait this out, which may take days or weeks, but what if you need access to the coin now?  This will show you how to delete the unconfirmed tx from your wallet, and how to create an offline, raw tx and push it to the network.  This causes an intentional double spend, and the idea is to make the new tx with a sufficient fee, so that it gets confirmed, and the original, stuck transaction goes away like it never existed.

I am just a guy that loves bitcoin, and wants to help some people.  If you use this method, and it helps, you can always tip me (please, do not tip me with a low fee tx though!)

___________________________________________________
__________________________________________________
 
ONLY PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS WITH A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR WALLET.  ALWAYS KEEP THE ORIGINAL SAVED IN CASE YOU NEED TO START OVER AGAIN!
________________________________________
First of all you will need Electrum Wallet, because it's easier to edit and configure, so download it, and verify the download signature:https://electrum.org/#download



Once you have downloaded and installed Electrum, you will need to create a new wallet file, and then import your seed phrase from the wallet that your original tx was sent from.  This will load your wallet into electrum, and will show you all of your transactions, including the unconfirmed one(s) that you need to remove and rebroadcast.

 

I will demonstrate here how to fix that unconfirmed transaction. You can fix multiple unconfirmed ones too, just by repeating this procedure.

 
Anchor 1

We have 1 unconfirmed transaction here, and we need to get rid of it, so here is what you will do:



Disconnect the Internet, because we will remove this transaction from the wallet, it's unconfirmed so don't worry. Don't reconnect the Internet, because it will re-download it, and you have to start all over again.



Copy the hash of the transaction, by right clicking on it and copy. It should be a SHA-256 hash, the one used in this demonstration is: 8dbb8e508aaaf858412559c8047e034cda7f1f35c6738238b9db84a3cca9b872



Create a Backup of the wallet, so if you mess up you can restore it!

Open the wallet file with a text editor. The format of the wallet is JSON, so it should be easy to edit if you are familiar with it.



Press CTRL-F on the keyboard, and search for this hash in the file. It should appear 4 times, in different places, you need to delete them, but carefully to keep the JSON syntax intact, so I have highlighted what you need to delete, it should be different for you, but you will get the idea, it should be everything that is highlighted:


Here the section between the [] brackets needs to be deleted + the coma above.


This is the transaction data section, the TX hash and right below the data should be deleted, as highlighted above.


Delete everything between the {} brackets in the highlighted stuff + the comma after the brackets.


Delete everything between the {} brackets in the highlighted stuff + the comma after the brackets.



YOU MAY HAVE MORE AREAS IN YOUR WALLET FILE THAT HAVE THAT HASH INCLUDED IN THERE.  YOU NEED TO REMOVE THOSE PARTS AS WELL, FOLLOWING THE SAME IDEA AS THE PREVIOUS ONES ABOVE, MAKING SURE TO KEEP THE JSON SCRIPT INTACT (REMOVING THE LEADING COMMA, ETC)



Now open the wallet (you should still be offline), and check it it loads. If it loads then you did a good job. If it doesn't load then you restore the backup and do it again because you probably deleted something that you should have not.

The unconfirmed transaction should no longer be there, so that now we can spend it again!



Re-create the transaction, but this time put a higher fee:
Go to : http://bitcoinfees.21.co from another PC or phone (your pc should still be offline) and check what is the optimal fee
Go to Electrum's Preferences, and set your miner fee preference to match or exceed the recommended current fee.


​​

Sign your transaction, and save it to a file, it should end with .txn extension.  To do this, go to the "Send" tab in Electrum, enter the address you want to send to, and enter the amount of btc you are sending.  Make sure the fee is correct this time, and then click on "Preview".  From there, click on "Save"  Save the .txn file to your desktop.


Open Notepad, or any other text editing program, on your computer. Open the saved .txn file you just created.  It should look like this below.  You will select only the part that I have highlighted, and copy it.





Now, you will paste that raw transaction into as many broadcasting nodes as you can.  Some may give you an error code, that is because they still have your old transaction in their mempool.  However, it really only takes one for it to start being propagated.  Enter that raw hex transaction into all of the broadcasting services below:

After a few minutes, you should be able to search for your address that you sent bitcoin to here:



https://live.blockcypher.com/



You will now see that it has a new incoming transaction.  It will say Caution:  This is a double spend attempt, however, if you used a high enough fee, this transaction will confirm before the other one, and the other one will become invalid.  Some miners will not allow a double spend transaction into new blocks themselves, but there are enough that still do, that your transaction should confirm shortly.  It just takes one confirmation, and them all the miners will agree that this is the real transaction.  Your original transaction will now cease to exist, and you have your bitcoin back again, all confirmed and ready for use.

And no, I am not asking you to enter your private key on the site, or anything, it is legit just a step by step instruction page.  If it works for you, there are tip addresses on the page, but really, just hope it helps someone.  When I did it, the new transaction confirmed in like 6 blocks.  Not all miners accept double spend transactions, so it has to wait for a miner that does to get a block.

Ignore the free site, and the plain step by step.  I don't have the time or the extra money being around christmas to get something up and running thats flashy.


This is a solution, if you are unable to do a RBF or a CPFP transaction.  It worked for me and should work for you, provided your txn has started falling out of some mempools, which if it is stuck and low fee, it likely has.

I can answer questions in here if needed, but it is pretty step by step.  You are basically creating a double spend, and forcing that to be confirmed.  Not the ideal solution, but it works.

$450, or £450? If it is the latter (for amazon.co.uk) then I am interested.

You need to be able to prove to me that the gift card is a legit one, and not obtained through fraudulent means.

its .com, not uk, sorry.

450 Code, ready now.  Make offer, and must use an escrow.  Scammers go away.  I am not a newb or an idiot.

how long will you allow escrow to hold funds for?

I would prefer once you redeem, the coin released, obviously.  If you plan to order right away, I could wait until your item ships.  But, for that to happen, you better be very trusted.  Too many people start making fake screenshots, trying not to pay, and stuff.  No bueno.

The blockchain was backed up with lots of transactions in your case.... that happens....
11  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Jaxx Wallet deleted a pub/priv key after I sent, and I am unable to recover it. on: October 12, 2017, 07:31:04 PM
Solved.

For some reason, the address I sent to was never activated on my wallet, or through my 12 word seed.  Even electrum didnt recognize that it had been used.

I was able to use a tool:  https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/ to see all the addresses that would be generated by my 12 word seed, and their corresponding private keys to them all.  After going through them awhile, I found the address that I used!  I was able to import that priv key to blockchain, and then send it to my wallet, and recovered my btc.

No idea why the HD wallet and seed didnt recognize that this address was used, but manually importing it worked, once I was made aware of that tool by Jazz support.
12  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Jaxx Wallet deleted a pub/priv key after I sent, and I am unable to recover it. on: October 12, 2017, 06:43:08 PM
I have been using Jaxx wallet for sometime, and this is the first time I have seen this.

Today, I was sending coin to my wallet, and copy pasted, and double checked, like always, to make sure it was correct.  IT was.

The send occurred:  https://blockchain.info/address/16hCwR1EAbJhPVgzRZh2hhieB73CXi69WF

It NEVER appeared in my Jazz wallet.  My Jaxx wallet balance stayed the same. 

I went in to refreshed the balance, nothing.  Jaxx sometimes has issues syncing balances..... the fix was to refresh the cache in Jaxx.  I did that, no sign of my transaction still.

I then went into the priv keys, and see all of my addresses I have used, except for that one.  That address is not showing, so I can not even get the priv key now to restore it anywhere else. 

Jaxx has not replied to me at all.....any ideas? 

I imported my seed to electrum, and it is not showing that transaction either.....it is like jaxx just made a randm receive address, then deleted it totally from my wallet.  No idea how this could even happen.
