transaction not accepted

[Roccdrummer]

Hello, I've been receiving bitcoin properly from my miner/pool.  But i cannot send bitcoin!  I've tried everything.  Rebooting, restarting, starting bitcoin-qt manually with the setting unchecked,  rescanning , rescanning and rebuilding....   It always says transaction not accepted and shows a link to the blockchain where it says transaction not found.  Please help.  Thanks.

What mining pool are you using? If you are using a pool which pay the user by including their addresses in the coinbase, you need at least 120 confirmations for it to be spent. Could you post the address in question? Is your Bitcoin Core on the latest version? Are the transactions all confirmed when you check the blockchain?

[Roccdrummer]

I am using Antpool.   I just received my payment from today and it was 4/6 confirmations when i last looked, on the Armory (within 1/2 hour).   All other daily received payments are fully confirmed.  It lists all my bitcoins as available except the payment I just received that had 4/6 confirmations.  I have been mining there for almost a year.  

I have the latest Bitcoin core and Armory.

I just rechecked the setting to allow bitcoind and bitcoin qt to run in the background through Armory and am rescanning/rebuilding right now.   Maybe I could try a different address to send to because the address I am trying to send to is no good for some reason?  Is there a way to check the address?
This is actually the first time I've tried to send bitcoin.  I have the default 0.0001 transaction fee.  I tried once with a 0.0002 fee.




Thanks much.

Can I send you or somebody like 0.001 bitcoin to see if it works with another address?  Is that too small of a transaction?  The default fee of 0.0001 would be fine right?

Or i guess i could send it to myself.   Just waiting on the rebuild/rescan.

There is something wrong with your bitcoin core installation which is making it reject the transactions. Do you have any special configuration for it that your are using?

[Roccdrummer]

I used all default everything.  No special paths or anything.  Does that mean I have to uninstall and reinstall bitcoin core?  For sure?   Just wondering.... how do you know that?  Thanks.

[Roccdrummer]

It seemed like when I installed bitcoin core, it took less than 5 hours to do everything and be ready and it was all automatic, while with armory, it took like 72 hours and I had to figure out a crapload of things to do over and over in order to make it work though...

[Roccdrummer]

I tried to send you the bitcoin but I still got the same transaction not accepted message.   (I took a screenshot but i guess i prob have to have an image host to link it here ya?  I can't remember which one i used its been so long, i'll figure that out later)

The popup window says:

-Transaction not accepted-

The transaction that you just executed, does not appear to have been accepted by the Bitcoin network yet. This can happen for a variety of reasons.

On some occasions the transaction actually will succeed and this message is displayed prematurely. To confirm whether the the transaction actually succeeded, you can try this direct link to blockchain.info:

https://blockchain.info/tx/ed2416ba06870c2a6d28...

If you do not see the transaction on that webpage within one minute, it failed and you should attempt to re-send it. If it does show up, then you do not need to do anything else -- it will show up in Armory as soon as it receives one confirmation.

If the transaction did fail, it is likely because the fee is too low. Try again with a higher fee. If the problem persists, go to "Help" and select "Submit Bug Report". Or use "File" -> "Export Log File" and then attach it to a support ticket at https://bitcoinarmory.com/support




When i click the link , it says "transaction not found"


thx for help

Isn't AntPool like p2pool, in that your share payouts are coinbase? If so, remember that you have to wait at least 100 blocks subsequent to a given coinbase reward before any Bitcoin client will relay that output as a transaction. Are you sure you're using old enough coinbase to send a valid transaction?

[Roccdrummer]

Yep.   I've never spent any bitcoin and i've been mining almost a year.

What's the top block advertized on Bitcoin Core? Armory?

[Roccdrummer]

I'm sorry.  I don't know how to check that.   How do i do it?   thanx


lol i was looking through the log files

If I'm correct, AntPool doesn't pay the users using Coinbase. All the Coinbase are sent to one address which makes it unlikely for them to be paying users using it. https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/pool/antpool. I have addressed this above already.

I don't use armory often but you need to check the number of blocks on the bottom right of Armory for it.

Just now opened Armory again.  Last block received is 4 seconds ago upon opening.  Connected 379749 blocks....  

Just opened Bitcoin qt ...  connected up to date...  379749 blocks of transaction history.     @  9:34 am EST

 

a minute later bitcoinqt goes up to 379750 blocks on its own

on armory at 9:44 it says 379751 blocks... last block received 6 minutes ago...

Are you trying to send dust?

[Roccdrummer]

definitely not

Can you post the raw hex of a transaction you are trying to send? I will try to broadcast it from my node. If that works, then there must be something wrong with your bitcoin core installation.

To get the hex, send the transaction normally then right click it in the transaction list and click view details. Then click copy hex and then paste that to a post.

This might be related to the "lowS" fix for a transaction maleability issue. The fix "lowS" fix is in Bitcoin 0.11.1. Armory currently does not apply the "lowS" fix, so Bitcoin 0.11.1 will refuse to relay some Armory transactions.

For now you should be able to just downgrade 0.10.2 (Edit: Actually 0.11 should work too) to broadcast, however as more nodes upgrade to 0.11.1 some Armory transactions will fail to propagate through the network.

We are working on a fix, and plan to release 0.93.3 with that fix and a few others by the end of the week.

.93? What happened to .94 which was in "testing" since May?

I have the same issue... but only with some of the transactions I make. I made no changes in paths or whatever and the problem continues after updating Bitcoin Core from v11.0 to v11.1. It has nothing to do with the address I send to or from or the amount send because sometimes it works sometimes it don't  

@CircusPeanut I had the issue before updating to v11.1 so I don't think it is caused by v11.1

To work around this problem when I really need to send asap I make an offline tx - sign it- copy the raw hex - and broadcast it on https://blockchain.info/pushtx it gets broadcasted but 90% the tx changes because of a conflicting tx.
