TXN -mempool-conflict

[centrepoint21]

Hi, tryingto send some bitcoin from my armory account and keep getting a 'TXN-mempool-conflict' message when i try and send.  I am sending over the suggested fee and i am using the up to date versions of armory and bitcoincore, i have re-scanned and re-built database's after updating the programs and cleared unconfirmed? Can anybody help please, cheers.

You need to clear the mempool for your node. Delete mempool.dat in your Bitcoin datadir.

[centrepoint21]

Hi, thanks for the reply, but i seem to have made things worse?

I searched my pc for mempool.dat, found it, deleted it and now armory will not load up, it gets to 100% but doesn't actually open up the program?

I have tried re-installing armory and bitcoin and also restored the mempool.dat file, but armory will still not load?

Will un-installing everything and starting again help, this is doing my head in, once again it looks like i'm going to be losing money as the bitcoin price has come down quite a bit since i purchased it last week!

I searched my pc for mempool.dat, found it, deleted it and now armory will not load up, it gets to 100% but doesn't actually open up the program?

The two are unrelated. You shouldn't go around nuking your db without presenting logs first.

[centrepoint21]

Hi, ok, guess i messed up there. Bearing in mind i can't get armory to load up so i can't get a logfile, what would you suggest i do please?

[goatpig]

You can find both log files in your Armory datadir.

[centrepoint21]

Hi, sorry, i'm quite a novice, i need some more specific advice please? Both logs, not sure what you mean? Armory datadir., not sure where or what it is and how to find it? Not sure what i need to do when i find these logs? Will un-installing both armory and bitcoincore, then re-installing be an easier option? Sorry to be a pain.

[goatpig]

Will un-installing both armory and bitcoincore, then re-installing be an easier option?

Not really, need the logs to see what's wrong.

Both logs

armorylog.txt and dbLog.txt

Armory datadir

Depends on your operating system. Assuming Windows, the default location is

Code:

C:\Users\*yourusername*\AppData\Roaming\Armory

You have to show hidden folders to reveal AppData.

You can also start Armory in offline mode to extract logs through the menu option.

Once you got the logs, post them on pastebin. If you get the logs from the GUI, you'll only get one file, as it merges the 2 logs into a single one.

[centrepoint21]

Hi, thankyou for your patience. I have just joined pastebin, never used it before, copied the logfile fom armory offline but it is saying the file is too big and it won't let me send it?

[goatpig]

Paste in the lower half, or break it into smaller instances.

[centrepoint21]

Hi, i've pasted log in pieces on pastebin, username is centrepoint, is there anything else i need to do?

[goatpig]

Post the links here, how else am I supposed to look at the logs?

Sorry, https://pastebin.com/Hk47Uc05https://pastebin.com/CSHhnSANhttps://pastebin.com/BD1Tp0adhttps://pastebin.com/4zuJuh0Mhttps://pastebin.com/ttDLeeeB , hope this is right, apologies for my poor computer skills.

Next time, make sure you put a space between the links

[centrepoint21]

Sorry again, i'm proper useless, do i need to resend the links?

[HCP]

No, the ones in my post work fine... (although you can "edit" your previous post and just add a space between each link (ie. just before the http: part

As for the issue, there seems to be some issue with your "satoshi client" (ie. Bitcoin Core) broadcasting your transaction. Then, when you attempt to send again, you get the txn-mempool-conflict error as the transaction is already in your "local" mempool.

You might want to try broadcasting the raw transaction manually, and see what the error message displayed it... it might give you a better idea of what the issue is. Are you running Bitcoin Core GUI or are you just letting Armory run bitcond?

[centrepoint21]

Hi, i don't know how to broadcast raw transanction, armory won't load up online. I run bitcoincore in the background of armory, but have loaded bitcoincore up without armory being loaded a few times. Sorry, for not being much help

[HCP]

Ok, so your "raw" transaction is this:

Code:

0100000001bab68eb6c47543c8fc09e9440f4398bf67e4105e48c578feb0956e3454151722000000008b483045022100aa7228ded24c8344b016836aeba57e57f1ca7d3e08da47f30c1f5805fc5a38730220123b3f04cfb570f358ac2140aefdbc685535425e57eba83b6265d4f47a14253f0141043740f7db5616626e52a5df8b54ce4a66dcca603db54f861aeec42d3270f01c9da1c4b5787fd19ffe613c98b71cea552a4355b97006d96354111de9046b484705fdffffff017312a000000000001976a914d70286a0b68da0df83b7dbd86d02b0d90e93a76688ac241c0800

If you are happy with all of that data (ie. sending 10490483 satoshis or 0.10490483 from 17m2JVuSzyzFafWiiecJjGAW52HzRUCrk1 to 1LbsJkEfAwr2od324NLvDTFPqo7uATfuv3 with a 70000 sat fee!!?! )...

I'd suggest confirming it all yourself using: https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/decodetx/ or https://coinb.in/#verify, you can then "push" that transaction to the network (using https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/pushtx/ or https://coinb.in/#broadcast)... or use the sendrawtransaction command with Bitcoin Core to send that raw data.


NOTE: this won't solve your issues with Armory/Bitcoin Core... but it will get your BTC sent if that is an urgent requirement.

Hi,i see you highlighted my fee, is that way too much? Any ideas how much i am giving them, this all baffles me, and can i bring the fee down before i send this if it is too high?

Also to clarify, i can copy and paste that raw transaction at the top of your last post and send it directly from bitcoincore?

[centrepoint21]

Hi, just loaded up bitcoincore and can't find the send raw data command, how do i execute it (also, should i be using the 32 or 64 bit version?
