I'm just playing around with the new Bitcoin Core wallet, and I've noticed they have an "abandon transaction" feature.

If I click Abandon transaction on the payment I attempted to make earlier - would the coins then be returned to my wallet for me to spend again?

Again, the transaction has not hit the block chain yet, let alone received a confirmation.

I would prefer to do that, if possible, as downloading the entire block chain again will take me awhile.

Thanks for the help guys.

I upgraded my wallet to the latest version of Bitcoin Core, but shortly after it said my block chain was corrupted. I am having to download the whole block chain from the start.

Will the transactions I sent with my old wallet go through once my upgraded wallet is synced?

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

I figured that was the culprit (the transaction fee)

I sent another transaction just 30 minutes ago and included a transaction fee of 0.001 this time. Still nothing on the block chain, nor any confirmations.

I will keep you guys updated.

Hello everyone. I am having a problem. After not using bitcoin for several years, I recently uploaded the entire block chain and attempted to pay 0.04461 bitcoin for a subscription. In my wallet, it says I sent the coins, but it is not on the block chain, nor does the transaction have any confirmations.

I included a transaction fee of 0.00001 BTC.


The transaction ID is 15385dbc5087008ff6622c6d525b6473951c778e4b11b5bfed7e6011c52b907e

I am using bitcoin QT version 4.8.3.

Also, at the top of my wallet I have an alert that says "URGENT: Alert Key compromise, upgrade required".

However, I have read from several sources that I can safely ignore that warning.

Does anyone know why my bitcoin transactions aren't reaching the block chain or going through? (It has now been 14 hours since I sent the bitcoin)

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
