How come my coins arent moving?

[Surpbitcoin]

I sent coins to 3 different places between 11:40-11:54 AM EST today. Its been over an hour and a half and the coins have not arrived and in my wallet it shows 0 confirmations. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening?

[Surpbitcoin]

bump, this is starting to worry me!

[wingding]

But do you see the unconfirmed amount? If so, it will come, at least I experience >2 hrs to get confirms.

Only one of them. it was for 1 btc, then I have one out for 33 btc and one more for 115btc.
 the larger amounts show no ballance on the blockchain.


wtf?? this is not supposed to be happening.

[Surpbitcoin]

Can someone explain this to me, has anyone ever dealt with this type of an issue before?

Post the transactions so we can follow along?

The first step is to check the status of the transaction using a different source than your wallet -- blockchain.info is where most people go.

Also, when posting questions like this, you must supply the transaction ID (or at least the destination address and the amount).

Typically, the reason you don't see confirmations is that your wallet won't show them until it has synched to the blocks containing the transactions.

Another possibility is that your transaction contains a large number of inputs (typical for people the play SD), and an insufficient fee has lowered its priority. Miners may be postponing the transaction in favor of transactions with higher priority.

these are the transactions


11:40 AM  1BTC sent to 13GEpZ3h49mTmnH99QSW5MPHWMB3JUSeLQ
11:47 AM  33 BTC sent to 1CXjNC5fev4m8kW85ACyNU4KM93zexHAfM
11:54 AM  115 BTC sent to 1969VxZ3wLVEVQ3Y1PLKvFsG4vNkYeh51J

that's all the info I have, whats' the TX ID? also the first one can be seen on blockchain.info but the others cant. I'm starting to worry. This was a brand new wallet on a new laptop never used before today, (I should add that I forgot to add a transaction fee which might be slowing this down but 2+ hours is too much) I sent myelf 149 coins from an older wallet to this one, they showed up in 25 minutes or so, then I started to send them out and ran into these problems.

https://blockchain.info/address/13GEpZ3h49mTmnH99QSW5MPHWMB3JUSeLQ shows your 1btc tx.

But no tx fee.

It'll likely get included eventually.

Next time tape a penny to the tx if it's important to you.

Edit: the actual tx is here:

I already added a fee from now on, I had one on my other wallet but I forgot to add in on this one, any clue of how long it will take until I start seeing some movement?

You had bad timing.

These are date, time (central US) and block hash for the last 7 blocks.

See that two of them have 1+ hour gaps?  When that happens, transactions pile up in the mempools, and miners tend to favor fees over no fees, so it may take a while to clear the backlog before anyone includes yours for free.

Is there any way I can cancel them and resend them with the fee attached? probably not eh?

[ryanAC]

I sent myelf 149 coins from an older wallet to this one, they showed up in 25 minutes or so, then I started to send them out and ran into these problems.

That might be your problem... the coins you sent yourself need to age.  Or else you need to provide more fees to get them higher priority.
I just learned about it from this current thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158729.0

Not easily, no.  But it looks like the amounts were pretty high, so they should be fairly high priority.  Even if it was easy to remove the transactions and retry, it would probably still take longer than just waiting.

[Buffer Overflow]

They will be put into a block over the next 24 hours I'm sure.

[Surpbitcoin]

thanks for the info guys, I'll keep my eye on it and update once the coins arrive.

There's also a new problem called blockchain v2 vs. old v1 which could be affecting these things.

I also have 3 unconfirmed transactions
