Transaction with 0 conf

[joeperry]

Hi guys !

I got a trouble, I made a trans of 1 BT tonight, with 0 confirmations from 19:43 to 07:49, it was made without fees .

I decided to erase it, (you know, loading a fresh backup without the transaction) , I have made it again but with 0.002 fee, but so far it has 0 confirmations and it has been about 2 hours.

My wallet is Qt 0.8.2 beta.

Don´t know whats wrong here, and what can I do.

Any comments would be appreciated.

You need to wait. Once you have broadcasted the first attempted transaction, it would stay in the memory pools of other nodes due to not being able to be included in blocks. They will drop it eventually and this can take hours to days, but before then the second attempted transaction will not be relayed.

So the first transfer needs to be erased completly before the second one could be made?

My customer cant wait too long, days is not an option ,the deadline is tomorrow or I´ll have to return money. Too bad.

The original may also be included in a block (and probably will).  Do you have the transaction IDs?  If so, people can give you better advice.

Exactly.  It would be much easier to help you if you could provide the transaction IDs of both transactions.

Depending on how you created the transactions, it is possible that both of them will confirm.  It is also possible that the second one won't confirm until after the first one does.

When you send a transaction, you can't delete it from the network by recovering a backup of your wallet.  The transaction is relayed to every peer on the entire bitcoin network.  It will stay out there waiting until it is either confirmed, or peers start dropping it from the memory pool to make room for more recent transactions.  Once it is dropped from the memory pool, any peer or receiver could potentially re-broadcast it themselves.

2 hours is not enough. You should to wait a little bit

Yeah !!! You have to wait and watch if its done providing the correct address it will get confirmed for sure since I don't think qt wallet will scam you for 1btc   also its been done without the transaction fee why do you even expect it to confirm within seconds  !!!
