Transaction created, but txid not found on blockchain explorers

[lassy77]

Transaction created as same others, but status - 0/unconfirmed And txid nod found in block explorers Transaction ID: e9c858f852a1de7c70e6f8377f2147f3def1d4b1d85a5947d028bb9c13450318

How to succefuly complete this?

Where is this coming from?  Who sent you those coins? And when?

The screenshot shows "0/unconfirmed, not in memory pool"; so the transaction probably got dropped from the mempool for being unconfirmed for too many time, or it was never broadcasted in the first place, or smth like this.

Edit: OP sent me this,

Code:

As i see, transaction:

I think that this strange transaction "tells" that is spends the #16 input of tx ff746db2b0ddd712a57386ec850cebc37b6cc608c2f5a0342b33a0b4c435c667

But the block explorers tell that nobody ever spent that input.
My initial "hunch" was that there was a double spend / rbf, but no, it looks like there was a dropped tx.


I would still need a confirmation that my logic is correct, since my knowledge in this.. could be better.

Looking at the wallet address itself it only shows up some transactions none of which is what you are referring to so I don't think that the transaction you are looking has push through. It may have been cancelled and it won't ever be sent to the recipient, so I think you should just send another one without worrying for double spending.

@OP, as the original UTXO has not been spent yet, you should be able to simply rebroadcast the transaction.

Firstly, copy the raw transaction hex... right-click on the transaction and select "copy raw transaction". Then rebroadcast the transaction... "Help -> Debug Window -> Console" and use the sendrawtransaction command:

sendrawtransaction "PASTE_THE_RAW_TRANSACTION_HEX_HERE"

[BitMaxz]

What I have seen from the image, the sender or "from" as you can notice that it shows unknown which no address. It's weird it seems someone is trying to scam you.

Do you know that someone is trying to send you 1btc? If not then maybe this is just a bug or someone trying to attack the wallet?

No according to the image he is receiving a bitcoin he is not sending or spending a bitcoin. 

[TryNinja]

No according to the image he is receiving a bitcoin he is not sending or spending a bitcoin.  

AFAIK, it doesn't matter?

IIRC, if the signed transaction is valid, then he can rebroadcast it regardless of if he is the sender or not.

there is something wrong with your signature. based on what TryNinja posted above your transaction is this:

Code:

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

which is a pay to script hash transaction and its signature does not verify. unless i've made a mistake reconstructing this transaction from its deserialized form you need to check your wallet that is signing this and see why it is creating an invalid transaction. maybe outdated version?

checked how a transaction is created in versions 0.13, 0.15 and 0.17 - when decoding there are no errors, when sending, it adds to the wallet, txid is displayed the same as in the decode, but it does not find it in the blockchain, what the problem is, and how to fix it?

IIRC, if the signed transaction is valid, then he can rebroadcast it regardless of if he is the sender or not.

I think you can't rebroadcast the transaction without the RAW/HEX only the sender can generate this and anyone could rebroadcast if they have the RAW/HEX signed. Am I right?
So, if the receiver doesn't have the raw transaction he can't rebroadcast unless if the sender PM the receiver with the RAW/HEX transaction?

Are you using Bitcoin Core wallet as your sender? If the bitcoin comes from your other wallet maybe you sent the bitcoin without a fee?

"decode" is jut deserializing your transaction. in other words it just reads each field but it doesn't verify it. that is why you don't see any errors. but when you try to broadcast it, the transaction will be verified and as far as i can tell, the signature of this transaction is not valid which is why everyone rejects it and you can't find it anywhere.
but i can't tell you why it is happening though. maybe there is a problem with the way you are signing this transaction. try upgrading the wallet/code you are using to the latest version and if that didn't solve it then report it as a bug to its developers.

The problem is that the transaction script is not valid...

Blockcypher returns this error when you attempt to rebroadcast the transaction:

"Error validating transaction: Error running script for input 0 referencing ff746db2b0ddd712a57386ec850cebc37b6cc608c2f5a0342b33a0b4c435c667 at 16: Script was NOT verified successfully.."

The script that has been generated to spend this UTXO is invalid. The most obvious reason would be that the transaction has been signed with the wrong private key...

Where did this transaction actually originate from? Is it a transaction you are creating from within your own wallet? If so, did you just create the transaction using the GUI or did you attempt to manually create and sign the transaction from the console?
