Having trouble sending BTC from Bitcoin Core wallet :-(

[btcltc4you]

Hi,

for 2 days I have been trying to send coins to local bitcoins from my Bitcoin Core Wallet.

My wallet is up to date and seems to be connected (3 active connections to Bitcoin network)

But my transaction status is showing:

"Status: 0/unconfirmed, not in memory pool, has not been successfully broadcast yet"

then later I get:

"Status: 0/offline, has not been successfully broadcast yet"

Am I "offline"? What does this mean? Because my wallet is up to date with the blocks.

I have added a fee of 0.002244 BTC which I think is quite high.

I can't even get the TX into the memory pool right now.

What do I need to do to get my transaction(s) moving?

Thanks

Just take your private key and load to other wallet(my fav is electrum)

have you tried to broadcast it manually by means of pushing your rawtx to the network?
on your wallet, click Debug then Console, then type: getrawtransaction yourtxid
and you can try broadcast it thru one of sites listed here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_broadcasting
alternatively you could post the hex rawtx here, we could check it and help push it too

Thank you. Thats exactly what I did - I broadcast it manually.
So why do I have to do that now? My wallet always managed to broadcast before. What has changed?
A change in the Bitcoin protocol? Network congestion? A bug in the latest Bitcoin Core wallet?

I mean I am fairly techie .. so this was no problem for me to do. But what about a technophobe or a newbie?
This would be a fairly big hurdle for them!

What is the underlying reason why broadcasts are failing?

Did you broadcast manually via Bitcoin Core or using an external website like coinb.in?

If you do it via Bitcoin Core, it should show the error code and description for why your transaction was rejected.

"Status: 0/unconfirmed, not in memory pool, has not been successfully broadcast yet"

This is generally indicative that, while you transaction is "valid",a theternal node(s) your wallet is attempting to broadcast to is rejecting the transaction and refusing to relay it.

Common causes are things like min-relay-fee not met, or dust outputs, or possibly it is just using a UTXO that is unconfirmed and at the end of a long chain on unconfirmed transactions etc.

Next time, try using the debug console (Help -> Debug window -> console) and "sendrawtransaction" within Bitcoin Core to see the reason your transaction is being refused.
