bitcoin core missing transaction

[ziomar]

HI,

I received a transaction but it didn' appear on my bitcoin core wallet!
If I check on blockchain it is there but on my wallet nothing! This is the first time something like this happen to me.
Anyone know what is going on, did you have similar experience.

Thank you

Is your Bitcoin Core fully synced?

P.S. Current block count is 363054.

HI,

I received a transaction but it didn' appear on my bitcoin core wallet!

Is the transaction confirmed yet?  Is your wallet fully synchronized with the bitcoin network? Are you certain that it was sent to the correct address?

If I check on blockchain

I assume you mean you checked on the blockchain.info block explorer?  They tend not to be very reliable and have had many issues in the past.  Have you checked on any other block explorers, such as blockr.io?

[ziomar]

Is your Bitxoin Core fully synced?

P.S. Current block count is 363054.

Yeah fully sync

on blockchain the transaction is not confirmed since more than 1hour
in blockr.io the transaction is not threre
the address is right I scanned with qrcode

What's going on?

[Muhammed Zakir]

Yeah fully sync

on blockchain the transaction is not confirmed since more than 1hour
in blockr.io the transaction is not threre
the address is right I scanned with qrcode

What's going on?

Can you post the address here or PM me or DannyHamilton?

[ziomar]

Yeah fully sync

on blockchain the transaction is not confirmed since more than 1hour
in blockr.io the transaction is not threre
the address is right I scanned with qrcode

What's going on?

Can you post the address here or PM me or DannyHamilton?

I PM you

thanks for your support

[Muhammed Zakir]

Your transaction has a very low priority and you didn't add appropriate fee for it. It will take sometime to get confirmation.

P.S. I suggest you to use Blocktrail.com which shows you all the inputs used and about priority.

[DannyHamilton]

Yeah fully sync

on blockchain the transaction is not confirmed since more than 1hour
in blockr.io the transaction is not threre
the address is right I scanned with qrcode

What's going on?

Since I haven't seen the transaciton, I can think of several possibilities.

One possibility is that the transaction is considered as spam by most of the nodes on the network.  If that's the case, then most nodes won't relay the transaction. If Muhammed Zakir is correct, then this is the most likely problem.  It is possible that this transaction won't show up in your wallet for many days, and depending on how it was sent to you it may never confirm.

If M. Zakir is not correct, then another possibility is that the transaction included unconfirmed inputs and that it was sent long enough ago that it has dropped out of the mem pool of most nodes.

If M. Zakir is not correct, then another possibility is that the transaction was sent from a blockchain.info wallet and that blcokchain.info is experiencing a problem right now that prevents them from broadcasting the transaction to the network.

There may also be other possibilities depending on the specific details of the transaction.

If you're willing to share the transaction ID or the raw transaction, it might be easier to understand and explain what is going on.

it apper just on blockcahin.info and it is from a blockchain.ifo wallet

The coins were all confirmed

blockchain.info add the transaction fee automatically

[Muhammed Zakir]

Go to console and run getrawtransaction txid and can you send me the raw transaction you got?

There are no unconfirmed UTXOs in his address.

The weird thing is I am able to see this transaction on Blocktrail.com and Blockchain.info. I tried Biteasy and Blockr.io but I was not able to find this transaction. Apparently, Blockexplorer.com is out of sync, so I couldn't try it.

There may also be other possibilities depending on the specific details of the transaction.

If you're willing to share the transaction ID or the raw transaction, it might be easier to understand and explain what is going on.

I second this. Please PM DannyHamilton with your txid. He is highly trusted and is an expert. Please do it.

P.S. The problem is the change. The change is 0.00000231 which is considered as dust. I doubt this transaction will get any confirmation.

[DannyHamilton]

This is a bug in the blockchain.info wallet.

Their wallet created a transaction that has an output of 0.00000231 BTC.  This is below the "spam" or "dust" threshold that many nodes use.  As such, most nodes will refuse to accept or relay the transaction.

It is possible that blockchain.info might manage to connect directly to a solo miner or mining pool that is willing to accept and confirm such transactions, but it is also possible that this transaction might not confirm at all.  Since nodes aren't relaying it, your Bitcoin Core wallet hasn't seen it yet. If it does get confirmed, then all nodes (including your Bitcoin Core) will finally see it when the block that it's in gets broadcast.

If the transaction was sent from blockchain.info, it will probably be removed from their servers in a few days.  When that happens, the balance will show back up in your wallet and you will be able to attempt to send a new transaction.  You might want to consider sending the entire balance (minus a 0.0001 BTC transaction fee) to your Bitcoin Core wallet so that you don't need to use the buggy blockchain.info wallet anymore.

The other options would be to export the private key from blockchain.info and import it into your Bitcoin Core so that you can create the transactions in Bitcoin Core instead of blockchain.info.  If you do this you will have immediate access to the funds in Bitcoin Core, and will be able to send the bitcoins without waiting for the transaction that is stuck at blockchain.info.

The blockchain wallet add 0.0001 btc as transaction automatically.
I really didn't get what is the problem.
However I'll not use blockchain.info wallet anymore btc core is 100000 times better

I've read more carefully your last post and now I get what happend!
Thank you for your kindly support
Blockchain.info wallet sucks

I overlooked. As the transaction does not appear on Bitcoin Core, you won't be able to do that.

@DannyHamilton: Do you know why this transaction was shown in Blocktrail.com and Blockchain.info but not in other (known) explorers? Do you think latter filter transactions and exclude transactions like these?

[DannyHamilton]

@DannyHamilton: Do you know why this transaction was shown in Blocktrail.com and Blockchain.info but not in other (known) explorers? Do you think latter filter transactions and exclude transactions like these?

It is shown in blockchain.info because blockchain.info created the transaction, so they know about it.

It shows in blocktrail.com because they apparently run a node that does not ignore transactions with spam sized outputs, and they apparently either have a blockchain.info node as a peer connection, or have a chain of peers between them that do not ignore transactions with spam sized outputs.

Other explorers do not show the transaction either because they ignore transactions with spam sized outputs, or because there is no chain of peers between them and blockchain.info that all relay transactions with spam sized outputs.

If any mining pools (or solo miners) see this thread and want to help this guy out, you can include the following transaction in your next block. It's only 617 bytes and includes a fee of 0.0001 BTC.
