I transferred some BTC out of coinbase, waited for it to confirm, then used sharedcoin to send to an address. It's been 5 hours and it will not confirm.

Now, I've tried sending a small amount from my blockchain wallet back to coinbase to test but this transaction also will not confirm.

NONE OF MY TRANSACTIONS WILL CONFIRM. WTF IS GOING ON? I'm worried I've lost a not inconsiderable amount of bitcoin forever. Please help

this is the hash https://blockchain.info/tx/54979aa8dd198a9c7501d2babf75ec031702344445838768887745607f977792

idk if that will tell you anything.

then theres this one that I did not use sharedcoin with. this is trying to send some back to coinbase https://blockchain.info/tx/27968bb4d8153b1d713d42af1a2e5baf90a8b5c74adfbcd7fa31235b4f9b84a5



Please tell me I'm not fucked.

Worst case, If it didn't confirm the BTC would have gone back into your wallet after a few days

Yes they would. As long as the transaction doesn't go through the bitcoins return to your wallet.

Could someone clarify how long transactions stay in the memory pool for?

My method for dealing with stuck transaction due to non fee paying (which is normally a mistake) is to send a transaction again but with a higher fee. Obviously this cant be done from an exchange but they should be paying fees anyway.

Just for future reference.

I don't know exactly how long, but it can stay there for several days.

Indeed, it depends on which wallet software you are using.

It can take awhile for a confirmation, but it shouldnt take that long, maximum can be an hour.

From the reading Ive just done it seems it will depend on a few factors but basically the transaction is dropped from the memory pool once their isn't enough space or the node receives a transaction spending the same inputs.

Some wallet automatically keep broadcasting the transaction so that can take some time to stop as well.

There's no maximum, it's luck dependant on the block finding, we did have 5 hours between blocks the other year.

This happens only if you do not pay that extra fee. So if you need those BTC quick, than just pay it.

Also untrue, it's less likely to happen, still a luck element involved about getting into blocks. One tx I made, waited 3 or 4 blocks to get into a block, and in those blocks there were later tx with lower or no fee.

Wow, 5 hours? That is really unlucky.
The longest gap I have seen is just 2 hours. Smiley
