Help! My Transaction Will Not Confirm

[Idunfuckedup]

I've been trying to send a small amount of bitcoins for days now.

Initially I accidentally sent the transaction as a zero-fee transaction and after waiting 12+ hours and it still wasn't confirming I wanted to resend the transaction with a fee.

So I ran my Bitcoin Core client with -zapwallettxes and waited 48 hours. Today I resent the transaction with the minimum fee because I was too lazy to mess with the fee slider. It has been 2+ hours and the transaction is still not confirming.

I'm worried that the transaction will get stuck in limbo like the last one, does anyone have any advice on what to do?

I have never had this much trouble or any sort of trouble with bitcoin transactions before and I am extremely frustrated

Transactions are bit slower than usual today i guess. Wait a few hours more it will be done eventually.

Btw, have you doublechecked the address which you're sending to?

post the txid. I suspect the fee you included was too small to get the transaction confirmed within 2 hours. the last 10 blocks are all full.

It's more like "faster" then usual , I just made a transaction and it got confirmed in 7 minutes .
As for Op's issue , It was firs your fault since you didn't use any fees . Now for what comes to the second transaction you should post your TXID so we can take a look . (It never take that much amount usually).

I have verified that I'm sending to the right address.

the fee you included is too small. currently the best fee to get your tx confirmed within a hour is 10 times that (https://bitcoinfees.21.co/).
but I'm fairly sure that it'll be confirmed within 24~48 hours.

Keep core open so it can rebroadcast the transaction.

Thank you for giving me some reassurance. I'll make sure to include a higher fee next time. Usually I just send BTC with my client's default settings and everything gets confirmed rather quickly but I guess I need to pay more attention lol

Hi Guys, I am having a similar issue just a little worse case.  I sent .5 BTC over 1 month ago, and it still is frozen. I sent it on 3/13/16, and still "?" Unconfirmed 0/6 in my wallet. If I search for the transaction ID in blockchain.info It does not populate either.

I have sent nearly 50 btc over the years with this wallet, and never any issues. Thus, when I returned from business trip was shocked to see this had occurred.

I have copied the raw transaction from my main machine with main wallet. And on another machine, using same client, tried to re-broadcast with the sendrawtransaction .... but still did not work.

Can someone help me out please. Much appreciated!

Can you post the raw TX?

Can you post the raw TX?

Do you think that newbie knows what is rawtx? and has it written down

Tx I'd not issue here I guess. May be sender may send the bitcoins with very less fees amount and cloud mining blocks sending also these kind of same issue. OP please check that
