Oops, I hit the wrong button on my phone!

-snip-

BlockChain, I just started using it and was not use to the UI at all. I'm use to the TAX being deducted automatically from whatever I'm sending. I'm sure there is a way to set it up to do that I just need to figure it out.

 

I was under the impression that blockchain.info does not let you push transaction with 0/low fees, don't know how you were able to do it. There are ways to re-broadcast the transaction with added fee but it requires a bit of knowledge and a computer and I don't think you'd be able to achieve it.

Earlier the transaction like these would ultimately get confirmed but with recent spam attacks I think the miners have set parameters to avoid low/0 fee transactions.

Normally when you send it just sends, but I was sending everything that I had on the phone, so a message popped up with options, i'm assuming to tell me I didn't have the coins to cover the transaction. In the bitcoin wallet for example it gives you an option to subtract the tax from the amount your sending, I was half asleep and assumed that is what it was asking me, instead I hit "send with no fee" Or whatever the option is called. The wallet is empty now so I have no way to test it. It was a mistake.

But my stupid fat fingers accidentally hit the "send without transaction tax" option

OK, first at all ... NO WALLET emit bitcoin without fees except when you hit 3 buttons to ask this. 
Don't be a fat ... speak freely : you don't want pay fees.

LOL, I was half alseep, I honestly don't know what I was pressing, I know what I thought I was pressing. And as far as me being cheap and purposely doing it, the tax is like what? A few cents, no one is that cheap, lol. At least I hope not. lol

So I saw the Bitcoin price dropping yet again so I figured I should transfer it to Gemini just in case it really started to tank. But my stupid fat fingers accidentally hit the "send without transaction tax" option and now my bitcoins are floating in space on the interwebs all by their lonesome. It's been 8 hours. I read somewhere that it can take up to 3 days if i'm correct? Well lesson learned, turn on the light and have some coffee before messing with my phone. 

Can you please post the Tx ID ?

Here's my baby floating just off Ghana : https://blockchain.info/tx/5510f098fc1758fd80cbd2b4d581012a85824a9b059194398e812e7a2a78d905?show_adv=true

Ok. I can get this Tx confirmed if you can provide me the private key of 1BmX3a6d8aHSwRf4v6Qr5JPAh1dHRPMFdQ. The amount sent to 16QrqBH98NRsqF47hWzmKMnMJHbWXZ4DyG will be 0.2415 BTC and Tx fee will be 0.00017125 BTC. You may let me know if you want to send to any other address instead of this. Before you provide me the private key, I'm willing to escrow 0.24167125 BTC to some reputed escrow on this forum. Once you tell me the private key of this address, you must also make sure that you wont use 1BmX3a6d8aHSwRf4v6Qr5JPAh1dHRPMFdQ ever again in future.

You have heard that it can takes up to 3 days but I have heard that they can remain in air for to many more days. No one have interest to give confirmations to your bitcoins without earnings its "work" fee. Must be some generous person which will accept those and can make possible that your own again those. So you must pray to be someone such. Otherwise maybe you can have again your bitcoins even after months.

[Xagon6]

The should be an option to add an automatic fee. Either way you should start to see confirmation soon

[Mobius]

I don't trust my bitcoin on my phone. Too many seedy apps. At least you learned a lesson

Well if worse comes to worst he can try to push txt the transaction to the network and have it rebroadcast again on a node to speed it up as he does have the tx to do it

It's not usually done on small transactions but it does help sometimes with mid-size ones like the one he posted.

Nope. Most miners do actually mine free transactions but it is quite hard. Your transaction needs to have enough coin age and be small in size. You need to also make sure that the miners have knowledge of your transactions. Most nodes have a limit on their free transaction and it can get dropped from mempool if not rebroadcast often but you could spend it again if that's so.

No worries, you ll get them confirmed or back in a couple of days. However, I would suggest you do not make such hasty decisions about buying and selling unless you re a day trader.
Real investors are extremely patient and crypto s still very volatile goods.

I think we better suggest anyone to NOT deciding any trading upon waking up, especially before coffee
Not only that our sleepy eyes will open to a great chance of mistakes, but also (I think) our your logic hasn't been completely waking up.

And about the money that floating freely on space, I suggest you to just wait for it to be sent back to your wallet as the to-the-moon euphoria has slightly suppressed

[intristin]

So my coins arrived at Gemini, and Gemini is offline for maintenance. LOL, the Universe doesn't want me having access to my coins, Although I do see the price has rebounded nicely, so maybe the Universe likes me. 

[Rizky Aditya]

All I can say is that that was very unfortunate. Your Bitcoins will be stuck in transaction-land for 3+ days. After that, you will get all your Bitcoins back. I don't even why there was an option for no fees. Whatever Bitcoin service you are using is pretty stupid.

You are just extremely unlucky man. At lease you got your coins back, that was the main problem and now it is solved.

Yeah, that was so unfortunate. But why do you keep smiling even tho you're in an unlucky situation?

[helloeverybody]

Yes that sucks, I once send 0.02 to someone and I copy and pasted the address from a email he send me, and I only copied part of the address, because I was in a hurry. It warned me that the address was wrong, and I checked it quickly and just added the last number and clicked send. Not seeing that the last number was on the next line.

It completed the address and I send it to the dump site for idiots. Some day, some lucky bugger will pick up some free coins, when he generates that address. Lesson learned, do not do financial transactions when you just woke up. 

Maybe someone in 1 million years or so ,

What wallet are you using out of interest, im using mycelium and as far as im aware there is no option to send without a fee. i used one before that looked kind of like bitcoin core but for android but imo id say mycelium is better since your forced to write down the word seed and not lose any bitcoin if the catastrophicwas to occur.

[AtheistAKASaneBrain]

I would never do any kind of important transaction under a phone, only if the amount of money is not enough to be a tragedy to lose. It's really easy to miss-click with phones, they are shit to be honest, nothing better than a mouse to do this kind of stuff. I would never go into an exchange in a portable device

[PinkLlama]

Don't worry OP. You'll basically get your BTC back after 2-5 days if they don't confirm (they won't).

[BTCBinary]

In fact it is a bit odd that your smartphone bitcoin wallet doesn't have a button to do just that. but don't worry, it can get some time for those bitcoins to find their way, but they eventually will. anayways, next time check it twice

[calkob]

Why would you panic sell?  Thats what i dont get?

Well you can't time the market, I don't get why you tried to short when selling Bitcoin is always a mistake. Also isn't RBF already operative? (replace by fee), you could look into that. I have never used it yet.

[Genius Einstein]

You do not have to worry. Everything will turn out fine. I understand that feeling as the same kind of thing happened to me

[n0ne]

This happens with people. Sometimes people due to their urgency also end up with such difficulties.
Better to use in the desktop or laps which will be better
