Bitcoin-core : Need help with stuck transactions.

[getrichquack]

G'day!

I don't seem to be able to perform any send TX's at the moment.

I have 3 TX's stuck in my bitcoin-core wallet. Its been about 2 weeks now and they don't look to be moving. All have 0 confirmations, but I'm receiving TX's ok !!

I've tried a number of things , a sweep into an Armory wallet , -zapwallet ( this seems to be defunct now)...they just won't budge.

They are small amounts (mbtc) so I'm not particularly concerned about losing them if it comes to that , However, I would like to know what the hell is going on in case it's indicative of something sinister.

I might want to transfer a larger, more significant amount in the future , so i want to make sure the wallet hasn't been ...compromised...in some way.

Frankly , I suspect my fees may just have been set too low and the TX's got sidelined , but i would think that they should have cleared by now... surely!

Any suggestions? I don't read Blockchain and could use some advise.

I'll supply TX details to genuine parties interested in helping me investigate.

I guess your wallet is still rebroadcasting the transactions.
If you're uncomfortable posting your TX ID's in public, I suppose you could just PM them to me and I'll take a look at them.

Did you delete the transactions to let them be forgotten by the network etc?  Did you try the steps in the pinned post above?

Just to be clear: It's -zapwallettxes. And you have to start the client with it, not do it from the built-in console.

You have to add -zapwallettxes to the startup command for Bitcoin Core. You can open up the terminal for linux or Mac or open up the Command Prompt for windows and type the following (assuming that Bitcoin Core is installed to default locations):

Code:

bitcoin-qt -zapwallettxes

Bitcoin Core will start up and once it finishes loading, you should see that those unconfirmed transactions are no longer listed. At this point, you can shut down Bitcoin Core and start it up as you would normally.
