pending transaction

[LoyceV]

no one local knows bitcoins at all. Can I find out address "From" when I sync old wallet? Will it show up there in transactions or somewhere else?

I think we're making progress.

17:20:58 walletpassphrase passwordXYZ 600

17:20:58 Error: running with an unencrypted wallet, but walletpassphrase was called. (code -15)

This means you don't have to do "walletpassphrase".

nerioseole figured out what went wrong: the last t had to be a T.
Edit: steven0021 said the same, I had the page open for a while.

Now try this phrase again! If it works, import the private key into Electrum.

Do not post/screenshot the private key here!

Hmm. You sure you didn't get the bitcoins to https://blockchain.info/address/16ukC1ftC1WLxmTmb8Wpi1vjKUAMoNpCk already? I see two 6BTC transactions and two 4.6999233BTC transactions which kinda look like double spends.

That's a different address.

Yeah but double spend doesn't have to be spending to the same address and OP have sent btc to it according to the screenshot. Anywho it's just a guess for now.

"Your screenshot shows that transaction so that means you've already synced."
it was synced on old laptop that got reinstalled, i have backup of old wallet and need to sync again to be able to access File - sending addresses

i did receive this payment 4.699 to new Electrum wallet, only last one 6 BTC didnt arrive and did not come back to old wallet (months time). And i did send last two payments (6.011 BTC - arrived, and 6.00 did not arrive) to exactly same address 1FFWn3rgS6JSREQvpSKr7P6AU5TUELjMgT

total 4 payments, it went like this:
25.2. sent 4.699 , received 25.2.
26.2. sent 6.00, received 26.2.
19.4. sent 6.011, received 20.4.
20.4. sent 6.00, DID NOT receive

So they're not double spends. All you should do now is resync bitcoin core and use dumpprivkey on the sending address, or just create a normal transaction again but with higher fee, I see you're using zero fee for the other 3 transactions and that can lead to a really long confirmation time (and ended up getting dropped).

You can't use dumpprivkey to get the private key of an address that does not belong to your bitcoin core wallet so doing that with an address from your electrum wallet or any other wallet you're currently using isn't going to work, and kinda pointless if it's an address from an electrum wallet that you still have access to and doesn't have problem sending from.

those 6 BTC are not back into my old Bitcoin QT wallet, how can I send it again ?
I was using dumpprivkey from old Bitcoin QT wallet obviously (but not synced one)... Sync will take a week since I can run it only during night because it slows down my laptop a lot

[ranochigo]

I would recommend to start bitcoin-qt from the command line with the option "-rescan":  "bitcoin-qt -rescan"

This will force bitcoin-qt to rescan the blockchain for any transaction that concerns your private keys.  Your 6 BTC that failed to enter a block in April should appear after this  rescan.  After that, It will be a matter to finish synching the blockchain to send any bitcoin balance to your Electrum wallet.  And as mentioned before, please put a high enough transaction fee the next time.

This won't work. Rescan will not do anything if the transaction is not already confirmed. Rescan merely scans the Blockchain for any transaction that wasn't included in the wallet. Since the 6BTC transaction wasn't confirmed, that transaction will not appear. If it hasn't been synchronised to the point where the 6BTC was sent to the wallet, the 6BTC will not appear.

OP, can you just update to the latest version and use -zapwallettxes? It would surely work. No risk of messing anything up, no confusion.

You will have to sync to see and to send since you don't know which address you used. If you don't mind only getting a large portion of your btc go ahead and try getting the private key of the address 1ABkfeKE28Jk1ZALiUAaK1W1miuabTkHsz (have 5.58810473BTC), 1AaQ8e41HE21wRNfQpegivcQUGCahSFfpQ (have 0.02BTC), 1Docw23ZiWJthC6zuKb2Xk9Q9AZZRrQY1t (0.01189527BTC). They're most likely yours.

Remember not to post the private keys here and just sweep it to electrum.

Just to clarify, is your bitcoin core wallet still showing the dropped transaction from your screenshot? If so you really should update and do zapwallettxes.

Thanks :O
I just saw a popup from this transaction, which got me curious. Google brought me back to this thread.

Also: congratulations on finally getting it back! Price went up a lot since you started this thread.
And: very cool thing to tip me for this! I totally didn't expect that after this long
