Bitcoins "dissappread" after being transfered and not confirmed

[omershen]

Hallo,

I transferred 0.17... Bitcoins with a normal miners fee to bitpay.com as part of an online purchase.
the transfer took place on the 22.11 however the transfer is still not confirmed and there is no record of the transaction on the blockchain.
however the bitcoins appear to be booked from my account.
where are the bitcoins? sorry i am no expert and would really appreciate an answer...
this story also made me doubt the whole idea of bitcoins as i never encountered such an event

thank you and all the best,
Om

Can you post transaction id?

Probably still not confirmed, network continues congested...

Usually the only reason that I know of with same scenario is if the transactions be labeled as double spend for few minutes and after that disappears and you can't find it. Could you state which wallet you used for sending the transaction to bitpay? Lastly I hate to say it but 17 days has passed since you sent the transaction, I doubt something can be done but have you tried contacting support?

If you don't mind posting your transaction id or your bitcoin address, please do that, others can't help you without knowing more information. My only explanation for your situation is your wallet did not broadcast your transaction and it's still sitting and waiting. Which wallet are you using?

Cmmon guys, 1 post account, it s obvious he s been trolling since he has not posted transaction ID.

[omershen]

Thnak you for the reply, and i am no troll

this is the transaction Id: 9ba164d2f43457a8ef6e352a2a700b12b0275370b0ea835222076458be06002a-000 however i was not able to find it anywhere.  i am using Bitcoin Core Version v0.11.0 (64-Bit)

this whole thing makes me feel somehow unsure.... 
any ideas what could have happend?

as i wrote the check mark on the left to the transaction shows a question mark and not a confirmed "check"

grateful for any ideas...

In core do:

Help -> Debug Window -> Console and enter:

Code:

getrawtransaction 9ba164d2f43457a8ef6e352a2a700b12b0275370b0ea835222076458be06002a

it should return a long code. If it does you can use the code with decoderawtransaction to see your transaction and use it with sendrawtransaction to rebroadcast the transaction.

If core does return an error (e.g. No information available about transaction (code -5)) the best course of action might be to remove the TX from the wallet.

i got a long code as return however i would prefer to cancel the transaction and not try to rebroadcast it

Sure, keep in mind though that you can only remove the TX from your wallet. This will not effect the network and the transaction might still get confirmed. If its confirmed it will reappear in your wallet with the block.

Removing tx from wallet.

#1 stop bitcoin core
#1.1 make sure its closed
#2 start bitcoin core with -zapwallettxes
#2.1 for windows you do this by opening "run" (Win + R), entering the following (modify path if needed) and confirm with "OK"

Code:

c:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -zapwallettxes

#3 let bitcoin core do its thing, it will relearn about all confirmed transactions.

You cant not accept bitcoin. If someone has one of your addresses they can send you as much coins as they want, there is nothing you can do about it. You can send the coins back if you want, but its impossible to "not accept" a bitcoin transaction.

The problem is with the TX ending with -000.

The correct command is:

Code:

getrawtransaction 3e4c53d25bb857cf9c05d80806ef4d6a0e1f879da8958e5001f7eba0ec229c11
