I upgraded to 0.2.0 version today. After updating all my transactions become unknown transaction status. MultiBit is online. How I can fix it?

PS: After repairing wallet part of transactions are okay and other part still have unknown status. On blockchain all transactions are confirmed.

[jim618]

Is your balance all confirmed ?

If so, then I think this is a relatively benign bug that I thought I'd fixed.
Bitcoinj (the library behind MultiBit) has added a feature that wallets can purge transaction data after a set time (to stop the wallet getting too big).

I have switched this off but I think this is what you are seeing.

If your balance is all confirmed then you don't HAVE to do anything.
You can try restoring a previous backup (from just before you upgraded) as that should tidy up your wallet.
Have a look at:
https://multibit.org/en/help/hd0.2/restore-wallet.html

[chemodan]

I try to understand. I tried 5 times repair wallet. When repairing finished each time part of balance is canfirmed and part is not confirmed because some transactions have unknown status in MultiBit HD. Each repairing differen amount conformed. So there is no doubt MultiBit HD 0.2.0 has very serious bug (cannot get correct transaction data)

Hi jim618,

I am having the same problem. I repaired my wallet and my bitcoins are still showing unconfirmed even though they are confirmed in the blockchain. I tried restoring the wallet from multiple dates and each time the last 4000 blocks can't finish. Any other advice to fix it?

[jim618]

If you are able to set the replay date you must be using an old version of MultiBit Classic.
This functionality is not available in the latest code as it causes problems.

Update to the latest version of MultiBit Classic (https://multibit.org/releases/multibit-classic/) and try doing a Tools | Reset blockchain and transactions



Note to MultiBit Classic users:
Because the default network fee went up ten times a few months ago old versions of MultiBit Classic DO NOT ADD ENOUGH MINERS' FEE.
You've got to use the latest code to avoid problems sending your bitcoin.

Sorry might have misunderstood your text.
Just let the sync complete - the last few blocks typically take longer.

[alexfront]

Is two hours too long?

[jim618]

Is two hours too long?

If you have a reasonable network that sounds long.
Check that your time on your computer is set correctly - if it's wrong it confuses things

[alexfront]

The time is set correctly. Is there any way I could download the last version of Bitcoin HD and restore my wallet from that?

[alexfront]

I got the wallet to restore and it still is showing my whole balanced as unconfirmed.

But how to transfer wallet from MultiBit HD to MUltiBit classic?

@chemodan @alexfront

Probably the best thing to do is clone your wallet in another HD compliant wallet.
You can use Lighthouse (http://www.vinumeris.com/lighthouse) as the wallet words are compatible.

Then if you don't mind 'burning' (i.e. never using again) the wallet it would be useful to me if one of you:
+ emptied your wallet
+ sent me your wallet words and datestamp in a PM

That way I can restore your wallet on my machine and see if I see the same behaviour.
Obviously if you do this I can see your transactions and you need to make sure there are no bitcoins in that wallet.

The link isn't working. Where else I can download Lighthouse or any other compliant wallet?

Sure I will send you. I'd like to understand what happened yet

[jim618]

You can use Breadwallet on iOS I believe.

On Android I think the Schildbach wallet will work.

HD compatibility is a bit complicated, have a look here for more details:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1000544.0

[alexfront]

Schildbach did not work and I tried Coinomi and it restored it but showed I had no balance. Any help with that?

Thanks. I need for Windows or Linux. Is there is any other HD compliant wallet except of Lighthouse for Windows or Ubuntu?

[chemodan]

I lost over 11 BTC with the bug. Nobody can helps on the forum. Where are MultiBit developers?

PS: I will pay 20% of 11 BTC if everybody can helps to repair my balance

[jim618]

@chemodan

This whole thread is people trying to help you.
I am one of the MultiBit developers.
As long as you have your seed / wallet words you can recreate your private keys and addresses so you haven't lost your bitcoin.

You messaged me a transaction id.
The transaction is unconfirmed (as I type) because . . . it hasn't got into a block yet.
It's as simple as that.
If you look at https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin you'll see that the blocks are all pretty much full.

You've paid about 15 satoshi per byte for that transaction, whereas if you look at https://bitcoinfees.21.co you see that you need over 3 times as much (50 satoshi per byte) to get a quick confirmation.


There are lots of tools in bitcoin to see what is happening with transactions, propagation, fees etc.

As I posted before, HD compatibility is a bit complicated but if you read the compatibility thread I posted before there is an Excel compatibility chart. (https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=584F122BA17116EE!313&app=Excel)
In that it looks like your best compatibility, now that Lighthouse is unavailable, is Hive and Breadwallet.
Hive is no longer actively supported but the binaries are still available I believe.

[chemodan]

@jim618 thank you very much for trying to help. About the transaction I showed you. I sent it today. A transaction I sent after already fully confirmed. But this transaction is still not and in MultiBit HD it has unknown status. So I think the long confirmation is interrelated to the bug of MultiBit HD we duscuss here

As long as you have your seed / wallet words you can recreate your private keys and addresses so you haven't lost your bitcoin.

But only in HD compatible wallets. Right?
