A last update.

Following the cleared transaction Armory went "offline" for no apparent reason. I reinstalled the Bitcoin Core, but it did not help. I then deleted the Armory installation and reinstalled the Armory. That got it online and I was able to sell the remaining BTC.

Again - many thanks for your help.

Over and out.

As it turns out the transaction eventually cleared, so I have now successfully completed a partial from my Armory wallet. I asume I will be able to sell the rest too.

You have all been extremely helpfull and patient - I deeply gratefull to you all. Thank you!

A follow up question.

The transaction that is currently blocking by being unconfirmed is from the April 19th

When using Armory, I have received no errorm essages at all, when making new transactions after april 19. They just lie there doing nothing. I only got the error message, men posting the transaction in a webpage. Does that not indicate that something is still not ok?

Maybe it would be best to only try using a web-broadcast next time and not use my own BTC core installation...

The transaction has 0 confirmations. I think it is from before I got the setup to work properly - before I got the "server=1" into botcoin core or something.

It does not say anything about BRF anywhere - I also checked the logfile and I cant find anything - so likely it was disabled.

I believe my only real option is to wait for the blockchain to clean up the transaction - and then try again :-)

Ok blockexplorer was realy helpfull!!

By pasting in my Sender ID I was able to find all transactions. Both my original buy, and an unconformed transaction from this week.

It is red - and stated unconfirmed.

I can also find the transaction in my armorylog.txt

Conclusion: BTC core and Armory must be working just fine?

And you say that I must wait 14 days before the blockchain clears all unconfirmed transactions?

@nc50lc

No I have not shared my paper backup sheet with anyone. I dont think anything un-lawfull is the problem. I'm the problem.
I think I disabled RBF, but I realy cant remember.
I dont have any transactions in my Armory - I used the function "clear all unconfirmed transactions". Before clearing I checked the transaction ID on web-bage to be sure it was not registered.
My balance is restored - no problem there

"Lastly you should share armorylog.txt" - this confuses me - I thought I already did that. The text I shared came from that file. The entire file is too big for me to share using Pastebin. But if you want the entire file I can maybe make several pastebin files...


I wil try and use blockexplorer an dsee what I can find - thanks for tip...

@HCP
OK, so worst case, I wait 14 days and try again. I can live with that.
 

@HCP is it something that can be fixed? can I delete this from the memepool if I find it, or how does that work?

I'm realy not an expert here - is it safe to post the transaction like that?

that would be 96.5 ... not 62.5

I see it is licensed to goatpig... (bows in awe)

How do I delete the unpublished transaction?

When I go to ">offline transaction" I get er version warning: Since Armory version 0.92 the formats for off line has changes to accomodate multisugnature... To copntinue you need to update to version 0.92 or later.

I'm using Version 0.62.5-beta-8730390989 so that is a later version than 0.92...

When I click that away I only have an option to sign transactions. I dont know where to find the Cold signed transaction to delete it?

I have done what NC50cl suggested

When I paste the Raw Tx (Hex) into https://blockstream.info/tx/push I get the below error?

sendrawtransaction RPC error: {"code":-26,"message":"txn-mempool-conflict"}

What does that mean?

@goatpig

I manually set it to 300 in my failed transaction! double what you suggest it should have cleared within an hour at that fee

@nc50lc
I may opt to try that, if I can summon the currage for it. I hope there are some youtubes I can waths before trying. Thanks for tip.

@HCP
I usualy start Bitcoin Core manually and let it run in the back ground
It does show connected in green "Connected (680099 blocks)"
Yes here is link : https://pastebin.com/ASFe449V


Is it possible that the problem is with the Bitcoin Core installation? My history of events:
1. I installed Bitcoin Core
2. I did alotta things to make the setup work.
3. I then then uninstalled Bitcoin Core - and reinstalled it. I deleted the roaming files manually but! for some reason the space never cleared on my harddisk?
4. I have no error messages from the Bitcoin Core

After 4 days of waiting I have cleared the transaction. And the balance restored.

I'm completely stuck.

Sure I can do that - but I allready did that once, and nothing happens. It does not change anything new transaction still fails. I have not changed anything between the last two transactions, so I doubt it will change anything that I try a third time.

I have no problems deleting the transaction - and the balance is restored without any problems.

But I dont know how to send you the right information for doing diagnostics on why it does not broadcast?

The transaction has still not entered the blockchain - I think it is safe to say it is broken

1. Yes I get the privact warning, and I get an explorer window on where to save armorylog.txt. I just save it on my desktop and scroll through it. Its very long.
2. I checked "roaming>Armory" and I can see there is a Armorylog.txt.
3. When I use the "File>Export log" the file it wants to create is titled "armorylog_20210421_0839.txt" so it is an armorylog.txt just with some more stuff. So it is not called dbLog.txt as you suggested. Maybe I just pasted the wrong section of the log to you.

None of my transactions has been broadcasted. The ID of the latest transaction is here "3ed87afc556f3b525f104b6adcc87f78f847c24e358d1c892252097ad02bafb3"

The above transaction is still open.

The previous transaction I cleared using the function in Armory Help>Clear all unconfirmed transactions - It had also not registered anywhere

Do you recommend that I use BOTH Bitcoind and the server=1 solution I have used the server=1 solution and that made all the error messages go away

I greatly appreciate your help here

Thank you - I cound not understand the "bitcoind" part - you mean bitcoin core?

But I found another tread and managed to create the config file and add server=1 and that solved the error it seems

Yes - I had ton of problems until I added server=1 in the config file. So I have done that.

Is it a special section of the export file you want then. When I create the file I dont get an option to create the file you ask for...

Hi kind people
I have been extremely glad to read all your excellent posts the last few days where I have struggled to restore an old account and sell the coins. I have solved multimpel errors and problems using them. I have succeded! As a non technical dude thats a victory.

I only have one problem left. When I make a transaction it will not leave the wallet. I tried with low fee first. Then used the "help > clear all unconfirmed transactions" to start again with 300 sat/B which I understand is high, and should make a fast transaction (30 min ish).

But again it just sits there with status "Not in blockchain yet" for several hours.

I get the warning of "not able to send through P2P network - using (whatever) instead". But from posts I understand that this is not a problem. Other than that I get no errors or warnings...

Does anyone have experience with this, and can I be doing something wrong? I will be happy to wait a couple of days if you all think that is the only thing to do. But having really struggled with getting this up and running I have a nagging feeling its just not going to happen.

Any advice?
