BTC not getting confirmed

I have sent 1.49 BTC this morning from BTC core, they usually get confirmed quick but not one confirmation yet, have I done something wrong?
Transaction ID- 0675092b9d8b2ea417397c14d7971e43951e1a46ddc2746b8c984fb8a8a9c61d-000

Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: Fee is too low / Not sufficient priority

yep

How did you send a no fee transaction? Are you using Eligius' node?

How can I remedy this?

How can I remedy this?

Abandon the transaction and resend (with fees this time).

Backup your wallet.dat file.
Run bitcoin core with option -zapwallettxes=1 on command line.
Make the transaction again with a higher fee.

How do I abandon the transaction?

How do I abandon the transaction?

If you're using 0.13 just right click the transaction and select abandon transaction. If you're using 0.12.x go to Help > Debug > Console and type abandontransaction "txid". If you're using an even older version then I'd suggest you update. Or if you can't update for some reason then run bitcoin-qt with -zapwallettexes command (via run window/console/terminal).

Here's my version Bitcoin Core version v0.9.1.0-g026a939-beta
Where do I put in the command line?? So sorry to bug you with this, I'm not stupid (I don't think......) but it always just worked before........

Depends on what OS you're using.
For windows the fastest way is to press Win+R and type:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -zapwallettxes

Change the path if you installed the wallet somewhere else. If you're using other OS then post it.

BTW that's a really old version, I'd suggest you find a time and update it.

downloaded the new version, how do I get my old wallet data loaded into it?

It should be automatic so long as the datadir stays the same. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not remove the datadir so your wallet will already be there.

My old wallet data did not autopopulate, any ideas?

First make sure that Bitcoin Core have finished updating and is synced then try rescanning. The method (for windows) is the same as what I posted above but with -rescan instead of -zapwallettxes.

Go to Help > Debug Window. Check that the field labeled "datadir" is what you expect it to be. If you set a custom location, it should be that location. If you used the default, it should be like C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin. If it is not correct, then you need to run Bitcoin Core with the -choosedatadir option in order to select the data directory.

I have a transaction I sent without a proper fee by mistake, now it's stuck and the abandon transaction button is not working. Any ideas how to fix this?

Please, read what people have responded to you already. You aren't going to get any help if you don't read.

Have you done what people have suggested to you? Did you start Core with -zapwallettxes? Have you tried the abandontransaction command if your Core version is 0.12 or greater? Have you tried the abandon transaction option if your Core version is 0.13.0?

Just a reminder to start by making a copy of your wallet.dat file. As long as you have a backup, your coins are fine and you can always fix this. But if you lose your wallet.dat file there is no hope at all.

Hi, I read everything you suggested and appreciate all your assistance. Now have version v0.13.0 but the abandon transaction key isn't highlighted and won't work. Have tried inserting those command lines you suggested but they come up with an error in red. Sad

You have to start bitcoin core with the _zapwallettxes option. It is not a command for the debug console. It a startup option. See https://achow101.com/2016/07/Bitcoin-Core-Troubleshooting#option-startup for help on that.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! (achow) Cheesy

I really appreciate all your help. If it would help the community I can donate some BTC to compensate for your time.
