i have a tx that is being rebroadcasted over and over and over..

[aarons6]

im stuck at importing the key.. :/

blockchain is giving me a key that starts with a 2

i need a key that has
5Hxxxx or 5Kxxxx or 5Lxxxxx



i dunno.. do i have to convert the key they give me?

is the key that starts with 2, by any chance 66 bytes long?
if so, it is the pubkey

you need the wif privkey, did you contact their support?

so i imported that key they gave me into my blockchain wallet.. and it was a different bitcoin wallet..


so now i have 2 wallets with the same private key.. ??

i think blockchain has issues.

edit, just got an email saying an admin logged into my account. hopefully they are fixing it.

i guess its time to find a different wallet for my phone.. blockchain doesnt seem to be working very well.

Before you continue to try to double spend (importing the priv. key into a different wallet and trying to spend the same coins with a higher fee) you should probably know that there is a very small chance that this will actually help you. Chances are it will make things more complicated. Why? Because whoever is rebroadcasting the transaction will do so constantly and not just when bc.i forgot about the TX. This means your double spend will very likely get rejected by the network.

I personally would follow Danny's advice as its most reasonable to assume the recipient is behind this.

i would have thought that too, but the recipient was purse.io and the wallet i sent to is my own personal wallet.. the id doesnt change each time you send funds..


maybe ill just write this wallet off and see how many times this thing gets resent before it finally gets confirmed hah.

If I would write a backend for a service that is accepting bitcoin I would write something like this to make sure low fee TX are confirmed eventually. Did you contact purse.io about this? The TX ID cant change without significantly hindering the TX to get confirmed (malleated) or rending it invalid (changed other parts of the TX).

You can import the private key into as many wallets as you want to. Basically a wallet just holds your keys giving you the ability to receive and send bitcoins and doesn't check whether you have imported it into another one before. Wouldn't make sense either because you could also have a paper wallet which is then is just the private key.
As I said before, if you have problems importing it into a different app, just use the same. But if it's a node re-broadcasting the transaction and not your wallet app, then that seems useless. If the transaction is not re-broadcasted automatically, then I can only suggest you to be quick. The best way I guess is what was already suggested, try to contact purse.io and have them stop re-broadcasting the transaction if it's them doing this. Otherwise re-broadcast the transaction yourself using a higher fee. I myself haven't done this before but I remember to have seen a video on YouTube explaining how to do this.

i guess the good news it fixed itself. at 4am or so it got confirmed.. after about 7 and a half days.. and 4 rebroadcasts.


at NO help from blockchain. they woudlnt give me my private keys.. saying the site gives them..
but it seemed to be coded so only blockchain can recognize the key.. i opened a new account and imported the key they gave me.. but the site gave me a key to a different wallet address..

their support never got back to me after i told them this..


im looking for a new android app.. is mycellium any good?

[Goins]

I don't use Blockchain anymore but I used to (their web wallet). Back then I was able to export private keys as Wallet Import Format (WIF).
Anyways, I'm glad it worked out well for you. If you search for an alternative Android App, then I an suggest Mycelium. I like their wallet, especially because of Myceliums local trading feature.
