Rejected transaction

So I went to send BTC to another wallet except it came back as "rejected" saying I had already spent my BTC. The transaction showed the amount exiting my wallet and now my balance is 0 and the transaction is not getting confirmations nor is the receiving wallet seeing the amount. The weird this is I didn't exceed the amount in my wallet. For example, it showed .92 BTC and I sent .9 - then got the error message but nothing came back and the transaction wasn't sent or confirmed anywhere. I'm using qt

Advice or help would be greatly appreciated

Can you give us the addresses it was sent from and to? transaction ids?

I assume you was trying to double spend ? that's why It got rejected probably ? Share with us the transaction ID & addresses so we can help you out .

Well looking at that address, it looks like you don't have enough funds in that address to spend 0.9 Bitcoin. Even looking at the address history for the change looks like you didn't have enough, but I can't know for sure.

My guess is that somehow your wallet did not know about all of the transactions and then accidentally created a double spend.

Try starting bitcoin core with the -zapwallettxes. This will clear all of the transaction from the wallet and then rescan the blockchain for all of the confirmed transactions. After that is done, the transaction should no longer appear in your wallet and you should be able to resend it.

You seem like you didn't send anything to that address because as I can see on BlockTrail it's pretty empty , I'm confused here , same for TX ID it seems like it doesn't exist .
Now and you refreshed my memory about "Rejected" on Bitcoin Core , are you sure you are fully synchronized with the Network and downloaded blockchain ? because last time I had that message on a transaction was when I didn't sync .

try rescanning your wallet and send the fund again

Have you ever exported any private keys from your Bitcoin Core wallet and imported them anywhere else?

Have you ever imported any private keys into your Bitcoin Core wallet?

If the answer to either of these questions is "yes", then it is possible that transactions that were not created with Bitcoin Core (and therefore Bitcoin Core was unaware of the change in balance) effected the "real" balance available to your Bitcoin Core wallet.

Also, if you recovered a backup of Bitcoin Core, and tried to send a transaction before the wallet was fully synchronized, it is possible that your wallet was not yet aware of some transactions that were sent after the backup was originally created.

If you created a backup of a Bitcoin Core wallet, and then tried to use that backup in more than one Bitcoin Core wallet, then each of the wallets will not necessarily know what the other wallets are doing with the balances.

If you haven't done ANY of the things listed above, then your wallet seems to have become corrupted somehow. You may need to recover a good backup and rescan the blockchain.

It can be a double spent? Occasionally I meet some such transactions. But usually after 24 hours all was normal.

If the coins are spent and remaining unconfirmed you can delete the unconfirmed transaction and re-send it with a higher transaction fee.

Thanks for the help everyone. So far no resolution, unfortunately. I see that the transaction did not show up on blockchain.info.

@Danny, I haven't done either of the things mentioned.

@mansystem, do you mean it fixed itself after a certain period?

how do I delete the unconfirmed transaction?

By starting bitcoin core with -zapwallettxes. Windows?

#1 close bitcoin core
#2 Win + R to open run
#3 enter: c:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -zapwallettxes (modify path if needed)
#4 confirm with ok

We can probably give you a lot more information about what happened if you can do the following:

Choose "Console" in the "Debug Window" found under the "Help" menu.

Enter the following command:

Code:

getrawtransaction 34202db0fd04b8a0feab56ef5dc25b92ea112970df30f6f690b9fdc1f8309024

This will get from your wallet the transaction that it is attempting to push to the network. It will be a long sequence of numbers and letters between A and F.

Paste that entire sequence of numbers and letters into a post here, and we can look at the transaction and let you know what is wrong with it.

There is nothing in the results of getrawtransaction that would allow anyone to take your bitcoins, but it will reveal the bitcoin addresses that the transaction is sending to as well as some of the bitcoin addresses that you've received bitcoins at in the past. If you do not want these addresses to be public knowledge, you can send the transaction via PM or email (and can encrypt it first if you like).
