I sent this transaction through the Bitcoin-QT wallet, and waited all night and it has still not even ONE confirmation:
 Huh

Status: 0/unconfirmed, broadcast through 13 nodes
Date: 1/30/2014 21:56
To: 1A9jNx9QyDXaTRBt2sWXnU2shYxBYgfkBu
Debit: -1.005 BTC
Transaction fee: -0.0001 BTC
Net amount: -1.0051 BTC
Transaction ID: 9710f39477cb2addfb04032c6e8c2d7cc33d1ab04211a3623bba44bc748a9104



If this is how unreliable bitcoin is , I have little faith for it's future.
I have restarted wallet , and waited an hour and nothing has happened. Turned off malware, no firewall enabled everything should be working.

Do I really have to redownload the blockchain, AGAIN?

I am pretty sure it did a standard 0.0005 fee, is it that I need to up the fee? Like how much do they really want from my one bitcoin, in my one wallet?

I couldn't find your tx on blockchain.info.

If you can see the tx in your bitcoin-qt wallet, you can do the following to push the tx again.

1. Open bitcoin-qt, click Help -> Debug Window -> Console
2. Enter getrawtransaction 9710f39477cb2addfb04032c6e8c2d7cc33d1ab04211a3623bba44bc748a9104
3. Copy the long string of numbers and letters
4. Paste the string on https://blockchain.info/pushtx

I did exactly that Sonny, and it says 'Unable To find all tx inputs" and gave me several transaction numbers..
this might be because on another pc I have started searching for all the blocks again.

Nice long slow process, will retry after doing this and am going to strongly reconsider changing wallets if I ever get this back. I should though because my wallet was synched.

Maybe you can take a look at this thread (I know it is old). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140558.0

I hope you didn't have any Bitcoin left in that wallet you deleted otherwise you will not be able to get it back.

Clearly your client thinks it can spend inputs that the rest of the network is refusing. Try this.

  • Backup your wallet just in case
  • Download Pywallet
  • Run './pywallet.py --web'
  • Go to http://localhost:8989 in your browser
  • Fill the Delete form like this:

    • Wallet Directory: /your/wallet/directory
    • Wallet Filename: yourwalletfilename
    • Key: all
    • Type: leave 'Transaction'

  • Click the Delete button
  • Run 'bitcoin -rescan'
  • Done, no more unconfirmed tx's

I tried it, and it works perfectly. After that your whole wallet is clean and up to date.
Write down the balance of your backup wallet and compare with the new balance. Probably it'll be different due to inputs you weren't able to spend.

localhost:8989 doesnt go anywhere, my own localhost ip doesnt go anywhere in browser says "oops page cannot be displayed"


likewise,
when using the internet to open the pywallet.py it gives me a page filled with code like:

########################
# begin of aes.py code #
########################
def strip_PKCS7_padding(s):
   """return s stripped of PKCS7 padding"""
   if len(s)%16 or not s:
      raise ValueError("String of len %d can't be PCKS7-padded" % len(s))
   numpads = ord(s[-1])
   if numpads > 16:
      raise ValueError("String ending with %r can't be PCKS7-padded" % s[-1])
   return s[:-numpads]

class AES(object):
   # valid key sizes
   keySize = dict(SIZE_128=16, SIZE_192=24, SIZE_256=32)

   # Rijndael S-box
   sbox =  [0x63, 0x7c, 0x77, 0x7b, 0xf2, 0x6b, 0x6f, 0xc5, 0x30, 0x01, 0x67,
         0x2b, 0xfe, 0xd7, 0xab, 0x76, 0xca, 0x82, 0xc9, 0x7d, 0xfa, 0x59,
         0x47, 0xf0, 0xad, 0xd4, 0xa2, 0xaf, 0x9c, 0xa4, 0x72, 0xc0, 0xb7,
         0xfd, 0x93, 0x26, 0x36, 0x3f, 0xf7, 0xcc, 0x34, 0xa5, 0xe5, 0xf1,
         0x71, 0xd8, 0x31, 0x15, 0x04, 0xc7, 0x23, 0xc3, 0x18, 0x96, 0x05,




Can you please tell me a simple order of steps to be able to do this?
 Already tried looking on youtube and no vids there.

Thanks much  Embarrassed

Sure, for Windows.


I'm hoping it's more clear to you now.

Much clearer, though I am a CMD noob thats for sure, I managed to get it going currently see the bitcoin loading screen after entering the -rescan.

Since wallet was deleted, shouldnt there be a step to replace wallet in appdata / roaming?

I mean otherwise isn't my bitcoin-qt just going to load me a fresh wallet?

If your delete the wallet you'll not be able to get it back. I hope you didn't have any Bitcoin left in that wallet.

He didn't, otherwise he would not have got part of his coins back. Smiley
