Bitcoin QT no confirmations

[Nightragerz]

I got a serious problem with my wallet.

I've always used the default fee which means I let the client decide and set the fee to 0.0000 BTC in the settings.

Sometimes I had to pay a fee, sometimes not. The transactions always went through.

So today I made some transactions but they didn't get confirmed.

I backed up my wallet and started bitcoin QT with the -salvagewallet command.

So those pending transactions got deleted in my client and my balance was correct again.

Then I made a new transaction and included a fee of 0.0005 BTC.

This transactions is still pending and on blockchain it says "possibly never (double spend)" and the queue keeps jumping between rank 1 and 30.

Best advice? Wait.
Eventually one of two things will happen:-
1) A miner will finally accept it
2) Bitcoin clients will finally say "Fuck it" and stop broadcasting it

Thanks for the advice.

Anything I can do to speed this shit up?

Just leave your QT running.

Isn't that like... the worse advice to give? It'll keep broadcasting it, he wants it to go away.

@Op, looks like you've already double spent it:-

Second one has a fee.

You mean, it will never get through if I close QT now?

Yeah second one has a fee.

I reinitiated the transaction after I used the salvagewallet command to clear my QT.

And your second tx (with a fee) wins

The first tx was still active when u sent the second.maybe one will confirm or the btc gets refunded after 48hrs. U should avoid double spending
