Did I get hacked?

[staco99]

So I attempted to make these transactions a few days ago and fee was only 120 sat/B

They were pending for a few days and now it looks like I'm in an infinite loop

I wasn't home at 5:16pm on May 22nd so basically what is happening to wallet :
13YANRDCM4HVtKDUhLYc4zty9gLPLWKx5s


The major larger transaction was May 18th and not only am I still waiting, but I don't understand what happened at 5:16pm

It looks like the two transactions might have been rebroadcast.  What wallet are you using?

BurtW That was from BlockChain.  Rebroadcast I assume is automatic?  If that's the case I feel like this is an infinite loop

The transaction fee for May 18th definitely didn't have a fee that high when I looked this morning

[staco99]

BurtW should I post my questions some other place than newbie forum?

His comment was directed at Velkro, I believe.

Yes 100% I am clear on that, but I'm new here and don't know where I should post it

[hexafraction]

No, beginners and help forum is appropriate, and technical support would be as well, to the best of my knowledge.

Are you sure you're looking at the right thing? That is for address 17S6269gWcmmZcJyJpxno8F5GN2bbvgwjT... but you were previously asking about a May 18th transaction for address: 13YANRDCM4HVtKDUhLYc4zty9gLPLWKx5s

[BurtW]

I think https://blockchain.info/address/17S6269gWcmmZcJyJpxno8F5GN2bbvgwjT is one of the addresses in his wallet.

On 2017-05-18 this address received 0.55714975 BTC with this transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/9eedad10b51bf2841322af56ea5f9f18c773340adb4d8ca384b882cbae1aadb4

Notice the fee was 407.893 sat/B and the transaction did confirm.  I think his question is "why was the correct fee used on this transaction?".  Well my question is:  was this a transfer from someone else to you?  If so that explains it.  Whoever sent you those Bitcoins used an appropriately high transaction fee when they sent you the Bitcoins.

Then things get messy.  On 2017-05-22 his first transaction of 0.55602096 BTC to https://blockchain.info/address/13YANRDCM4HVtKDUhLYc4zty9gLPLWKx5s was rebroadcast by blockchain.info with an inadequate fee of 120 sat/B, change went to https://blockchain.info/address/1FFNTUbyYaxBY8YgPpjieYgM7wDpkDUMXQ

https://blockchain.info/tx/75af1d2e392b531efa1d710afdeec94e31e428a8446acd9583babb89e1d0cc55

Also, his unconfirmed coins at his change address at https://blockchain.info/address/1FFNTUbyYaxBY8YgPpjieYgM7wDpkDUMXQ were used in a second transaction to https://blockchain.info/address/13YANRDCM4HVtKDUhLYc4zty9gLPLWKx5s to attempt to send another 0.0005 BTC.  This was also sent and rebroadcast by blockchain.info with an inadequate 120.752 sat/B in this transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/80510e89b7665396d528a1099e00c3108b109700c09cbb1b187b6cab67d445a9

Both transactions are still unconfirmed.  So, he needs to just wait until both transactions get dropped, he gets his coins back, then resend the entire amount again - only this time with the appropriate fee.

How long does it take for a transaction to get dropped? how do you know it gets dropped? does it just return to your wallet?

Yes.

BTW:

Hey, staco99:  this guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1009466 sounds a lot like you.  Did you start another account?  If so why are you starting two new accounts?  You do not need to start a new account every time you log in.

Hey,

Just letting you know, I have a similar experience. I also thought I got hacked but when I looked at the details of the transactions, they were the same I tried to push through the week before. I posted my story here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1927483.msg19156763#msg19156763

I just contacted Blockchain.info because it's past 72 hours when they said it should resolve.

I was communicating with them using email. I just found out that you can log on this website https://support(dot)blockchain(dot)com/ to access your Support Tickets with them. It's a lot easier than trying to dig up your emails.

Let me know how you go. I'm also am quite confused. I am worried that after waiting this long, the transactions get resolved but will my blockchain.info wallet re-send past transactions again, over and over, in an infinite loop as you say. Which, as I understand it, is not good because your wallet gets flagged for double-spending and of course I want to be able to eventually move my Bitcoins out of that wallet.

[staco99]

BurtW, If the transaction is going to get rebroadcasted every 72 hours, then how would I ever get my coins back?

Theoretically it should get dropped eventually.

First time I see a dot com domain related to blockchain.info wasn't their support operating under zendesk system?
You should know by now they are using the low fees as default and you should always use advance send to manually increase the fee, That's what I do since I'm too lazy to open Electrum
I can't understand why would they even offer any support while their service is free, are they that much good to voluntarily serve the community for free?
Do they even have any mining pool or just broadcast our half fee transactions, because when you don't have the miners to include the transactions you are sending then why would you lower the fees while you know miners only will include transactions with 240sat/b?

still waiting

Thanks for the update... Have you actually tried any of the various solutions mentioned in any of the threads dealing with stuck transactions??

Firstly, try and submit this transaction: 75af1d2e392b531efa1d710afdeec94e31e428a8446acd9583babb89e1d0cc55 into the ViaBTC TX Accelerator...

Once you get it successfully accelerated, you'll have to wait for ViaBTC to mine a block, the transaction should then get 1 confirmation. Once it gets at least 1 confirmation... do the same thing with this one: 80510e89b7665396d528a1099e00c3108b109700c09cbb1b187b6cab67d445a9

Note: the accelerator is REALLY popular due to all the stuck transactions... and they only provide 100 slots per hour. So you need to submit right at the start of the hour.

In the future, you should get a proper wallet... blockchain.info is BROKEN. Their dynamic fee system is BROKEN. Recommended fees have been over 300 sats/byte for like 2 weeks now and their retarded system continues to spam out transactions with 120 sats/byte fees...

Always get the prompt   "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later."

[HCP]

Then you are submitting it too late... you have to submit in like the first 1 minute of a new hour... any later than that and the 100 slots will be full... seriously, sit and watch the clock tick over to XX:00:00 hrs... and click submit
