Transaction send but never received....

[Snake-Plissken]

I hope I am in the right sub forum here, if not please move it.

I changed my wallet and wanted to transfer all my bitcoins to the new wallet. I send the bitcoins to an address of the new wallet and since sunday it only shows "unconfirmed transaction".

Are my bitcoins lost for good or can I get them to my new or old wallet to try again somehow...

Thanks

What wallet were you originally using? What wallet are you using now? What is the transaction id of your transaction?

Your Bitcoin are not lost so long as you do not delete any of your wallets. If the transaction confirms, then the Bitcoin will go to the new wallet. If it does not, it will "return" to the old wallet.

My old wallet was the outdated armory client. I am using a Trezor now.

I still have all my wallets and all the private keys. But neither of the wallets show the bitcoins. On blockchain.info it only showed unconfirmed and changed a little while ago to :


Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: Transaction was previously accepted but has been pruned from our database.

I dont have any bitcoins in the new wallet and armory still shows 0 as well.

What is the transaction id of your transaction? Armory should show it in the big transaction list.

The likely reason is that you did not include a high enough fee. You can clear the unconfirmed transaction by going to to Help > Clear All Unconfirmed and then restarting Armory. Then send the transaction with a large fee.

Yeah it seems  like it was the miner fee. I used the standard which Armory offered.... I moved it one digit to the left and I finally was able to do the transfer. Whats the usual fee I should include?

It really depends on the size of the transaction. The larger the size, the more transaction fees you should include. I would say about 0.0003BTC per transaction would be fine.

You can estimate the fee using: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/. It is just a rough gauge, but it is quite accurate nonetheless.
