Hey there,

I have sent a transaction from a P2SH address, and I missed the transaction fee I wanted to include by factor 10. So, the transaction won't be included in any block, soon.
Funny thing is: I have sent the transaction using the standard Bitcoin client (create-, sign- and sendrawtransaction). As I also control this address in my blockchain.info account, I got an email from blockchain.info that the transaction wasn't included for some time and thus got dropped, putting back the funds into the account.

Well, as I didn't send the tx using blockchain.info, I guess bitcoin-qt tries to broadcast the transaction over and over.
Does anybody have an idea how I can prevent it from doing so?

Here is the transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/7195f715221063d0799f67809f21c5d193b8b0b74a52ff80372111af7454b952, the topmost on this address: https://blockchain.info/address/3FuckUpFfo28hxXb89C19Az2kfGh7JhGY4

It's not a big deal, as 1) I control both addresses (the 1FuckUp target address as well as the 3FuckUp source address), and 2) it's a small amount.
But I'd like to clean things up a bit, not unnecessarily hammering the network with transactions which won't confirm anyway.


Thanks,
Thomas.

.edit: resending with appropriate tx fee would do the trick, too. Is that possible? I tried using "listunspent", hoping to be able to sort of recreate the transaction, but it doesn't appear in the list, anymore.

Sorry for the thread; the sticky one in this forum contains everything I need. Again, sorry for posting before reading.

How do I resend a transaction?
Bitcoin-qt will rebroadcast unconfirmed transactions every 30 minutes or so. As long as the sender has his client open, the transaction will be rebroadcast.


How do I resend a transaction with extra fee?
Bitcoin-qt users:
Third party client users


How do I remove an unconfirmed transaction?
If you do not want to see the unconfirmed transaction, you can remove the transaction from your wallet. Once the transaction gets confirmed, it will reappear in your wallet.
