Hahah, may I ask why anyone would want to buy a wallet instead of just the coins? Is it for sentimental reasons and bragging rights, like people who want to buy an old steam account?

Thank you so much for all your help. The wallet is working just fine again. Strange how the -rescan just fixed everything! I emptied it completely by sending everything to a new wallet. Will use this old one to get out the bcash and later the bgold. Thanks again!!!

Yes that was the only transaction I made the last few days that somehow went through! I have replaced the wallet with the oldest backup I could find and re-scanned it and made a test transaction which is now in the mem pool, so it all seems to work now (allthough core is very unresponsive). And yeah, I'm definitely thankful for the BTC I still have

But now I'm really away need to calm these nerves down:) Once again, thanks for the help and merry Christmas!

I think that is very good advice! I'll be back after Christmas and post an update Thank you all for the help, and have a nice Christmas!

It completely disappeared. Every transaction was gone, and the account value displayed was 0. Basically it looked like a new wallet. You can imagine my heart racing there;)



Okay as said before I'm somehow so stressed out and even a little paranoid about this all (even though there isn't even that much in the wallet!) that I can barely think straight... I have just checked my old banking accounts and it shows that indeed I have sold some btc back in the days and those sales are in alignment with the dates on blockchain.info! My apologies for instantly thinking about being hacked and all ! Still my wallet seems to have many problems, but I am once again re-scanning. Will keep you updated, and thank you so much for the help so far!!!

Thanks once again. I did the rescan and suddenly there seems about 1/3rd missing. It now shows that there are some transactions made today that when I look them up on blockchain.info were made in 2013. Was I hacked or something?

The -zapwallettxes completely removed everything. Im hoping to get it back with the backup wallet!  


*edit... OK with the backup it shows the old value again (my heart is still racing tbh!:)  ) , but what could have happened? I do remember that it used to be a wallet without a password (I dont think it had the option back in 2011) and then somewhere in 2013 I used QT to put a password on it. It said something about that it would make a new one and I would not be able to use the old one anymore. (currently I think I am using the new one).  Could it have something to do with that?

Thank you again! (I couldnt respond to your pm because I can only send 1 per hour). Yes 1Nord.. is the adress I used a lot back in the days. It is a very old wallet from 2011, and haven't used it after 2013 until 3 days ago.

BTW If I check all the addresses on blockchain,info and compare it to the balance with the wallet, there is a rather big difference. Perhaps this info helps too I'm currently re-scanning by adding the -rescan tag to the qt shortcut, but it has been on 1% for a while.

Do you think the btc is likely to be gone and unusable??

Thank you! Im stressing out over this so I have probably lost some iq points over here. But what is the hex tx and where can I find it? I just made a new transaction after abondoning the old one.

Also I now see some older transactions which I was certain I had abandoned, their status has changed to : "conflicted with a transaction with 311 confirmations".
I have abandoned these and they dissappeared (instead of turning red like normal) from the transaction history window.  However, after closing and opening the bitcoin core client, these transactions suddenly reappeared and again have the same status.

It all makes zero sense to me, please help! 

I did it and received the following error message:


11:52:48

Missing inputs (code -25)

Thanks for your reply. I am a complete noob so please bear with me, what you say is I make a transaction the normal way and then copy the raw transaction id from the gui, and then do your command sendrawtransaction and paste it behind there? Will this not 'send' and spend the btc twice?

Thanks! I tried to run it without a firewall, but it didn't work either.

I have pasted the raw transaction in that website, but it had a server error. Now that I think of it, can this broadcasting do any harm, like sending btc in limbo for a while, because I cant send them but also not abondon the transaction?

For almost a week now I've been trying to transfer some btc. Almost every time it just does not work. I'm using the highest recommended fees (currently: .0095 btc/kb). When I look at the transaction details it usually says this:  Status: 0/unconfirmed, not in memory pool, has not been successfully broadcast yet . Indeed when looking up the transaction ID on blockchain.info it does not show up. After waiting a while and hovering over the transaction in the transaction history it says "offline". WHen i then go to the details i get this : "0/offline, has not been successfully broadcast yet".

I do have 8 connections and it keeps syncing the chain correctly, so I doubt I'm actually offline. What could it be?

One transaction (to coinbase) actually did go through (after more than 30 minutes or so), I did nothing different!



What I have tried:
Close en reopen the program.
Tried several  adresses to send btc to.
Tried several types of fees, even higher than the highest recommended.
Reboot my pc.
Reinstall the client software .
Tried the 32 bit version of the client software (after uninstalling the 64bit version).
Uninstall en remove the entire blockchain download en reinstall and download the entire chain again.
Installing it on a different Windows harddrive and try it there.
I have no problem with sending (from another wallet) btc from an electrum wallet.


Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: Bitcoin Core version v0.15.1 (32-bit) (also tried 64bit)
Operating System: Win 10
