Looks like your transaction is not broadcasted on the network yet. Have you tried broadcasting it again, or clearing transaction history and trying again on publishing your tx?

[ranochigo]

Go to your transaction history, right click on this transaction and press "Copy Raw Transaction".

Go to Window>Console and type in the following format:

Code:

 sendrawtransaction 02000000000101593667ff1dab2db89187f86516f02c8be82cef4bd0263e2a86b585936e5c46072f00000000fdffffff02a08601000000000017a914cd1b794d70d6e22a9021fbfdc15a87e22836c99987a4b037000000000016001489e3eb9b249bc3f4bfdde6ad8f2623276fba2fb5024730440220096f5c202b2773470ad1a59b809a1c24d88e2892ad20bc7325b9dfc8ea216eb402202cb2c8cf7bf3423857c79124bebc5c524864cd395fd674c3cbdcccff3dd2a2de012102c4d46568c7cdf547a92c870f8b245265a90e2c1ed44e027cbb2e3572ad9a6d7d372a0a00

Replace the long string (02000...) with the one that you've copied.

I am running this on TAILS OS.
Do you think that is the problem?
Arnt this suppose to work over TOR? I am able to get peers connected.

No.

Yes. It should work. Do you get any thing after running the commands as I've said?

I will try after my workday and let you know. Stuck slaving for the Boss right now. :-)
What does that command do?

@ranochigo

No. You're supposed to replace the string with the raw transaction that you've copied to the clipboard. If you followed the steps that I've described, you should have copied the raw transaction to the clipboard already. Pasting the string after sendrawtransaction should suffice.

This will make your client rebroadcast your transaction to your peers. Since you're using Tails, I doubt you want to give up any part of your privacy or else, simply pasting the string into blockchair.com/broadcast works as well.

[BitMaxz]

If you are in hurry or broadcasting the raw transaction on Bitcoin core still doesn't work then your best option is to get the raw transaction and broadcast them on any broadcasting sites.

To get the raw transaction use this command in the Bitcoin core console

Code:

getrawtransaction "txid"

Also, I think you can also get the raw transaction through GUI, open your unconfirmed transaction and then right-click and look for "Copy raw transaction".
 

The result must be your raw transaction copy them and go here https://coinb.in/#broadcast or https://www.viabtc.com/tools/broadcast
Paste them then broadcast.

It will show on the block explorer once you broadcasted it.

Should be done through Tor with some privacy precautions being done at least. It is possible to be tracked when submitting the transaction.

I would normally recommend doing this as it's far more reliable than using your client but you do need to give up quite a bit of privacy when doing so. Would recommend to just troubleshoot Bitcoin Core and see what's going on. This usually shouldn't happen with Bitcoin Core.

[nc50lc]

Transaction fee is over 10sat/vB, it's weird that it wasn't successfully broadcast, yet it's saved in the wallet.
Do you have any config in your bitcoin.conf file like: walletbroadcast=0 or blocksonly=1?
Because either of the two can result with that "not in memory pool" issue and will persist to your next transactions.

For that particular transaction, the solution is already covered by the previous replies.

[HCP]

Indeed... usually if it is not accepted by the external node when broadcasting, you will receive some sort of error message.

Attempting to rebroadcast the transaction manually from the console using sendrawtransaction should either get it going or at least return an error message that will hopefully give some indication as to why it's failing.

Alternatively, the OP could try and cancel/abandon the transaction given that it hasn't been successfully broadcast, and then they could just try and create/send the transaction again from the GUI.

[hemzer]

I think I figured out the problem. This is fuc#$% up.

Bitcoin core 0.21.0 had addresses that were base58 (P2SH) and BECH32 (P2WPKH)
In this combined state it cannot broadcast a send. Is this normal?

I had to dump them out of core and sweep them in two separate sets
separately using electrum. one set for base58 (P2SH) and another for BECH32 (P2WPKH).

Is this a core bug?

PS: Thanks to you guys for paying attention to my issue. Very much appreciated.

No, there shouldn't be any problem with mixed address types, it's completely unrelated.

If it wasn't the config that I've mentioned before, it must be your mempool's fault that your transaction wasn't broadcast.
Maybe because it's still in the previous state when it's has a very huge size when you created the transaction, or the inputs you've used were currently dropped, or various transaction rejection reasons.

[HCP]

Yeah... Bitcoin Core works with Legacy (P2PKH), Nested Segwit (P2SH-P2WPKH) and Native Segwit (P2WPKH) all at the same time without issue... my current wallet.dat has all 3 types in it... and I certainly don't have problems sending anything. I even sent a transaction today.

There must have been something peculiar to your specific setup that was preventing the transaction from being sent... either your node or the wallet itself was in some state that was preventing it from broadcasting the transaction to an external node.

Did you attempt to broadcast the transaction using an external service as suggested above? If that worked, it would have ruled out issues with the transaction itself... or highlighted issues with the transaction, if it didn't.

I guess we're not likely to find out given that it sounds like you have since moved the private keys (or coins) to Electrum and then sent from there...

[hemzer]

yes I have swept the keys out form core in to electrum in separate sets.
Noting great shows up in the debug logs either.

May be if I get time I can try to simulate this scenario in testnet.
I have the wallet I may have to send some btc to those addresses and try to create a send transaction combined.

or I can try with ver 0.19 or 0.18.  and see if it goes through.

I clearly remember not having this issue in earlier versions.
 Any idea where I Can download the older releases?

The steps I did are simple:
1. create a send
2. drop in the target address bcxxxxx
2. click MAX button
4. send.....

So the MAX request would include all types of address in the inputs definitely.

I want to sweep these remain keys with some balance in them..but still cant get these out of core wallet in a transaction.

Those aren't private keys but mostly likely "redeem scripts" of your P2SH addresses.
If you're going to sweep to Electrum, pasting the private key of the address with p2wpkh-p2sh: before the key should work.

[hemzer]

Hi Mods,

I am going to retry the problem use case again this weekend.
If I can see the issue again I am willing to hand over one of the private keys to any core developer who wants to dig in to the issue...but not sure how to connect with them?
Any help I can get on that?

Thanks

[NotATether]

If I can see the issue again I am willing to hand over one of the private keys to any core developer who wants to dig in to the issue...but not sure how to connect with them?

Please don't do this. It is very easy for a thief to impersonate a core dev, or anybody, online, and also the site or email service you transmit the private key through might be bugged, and this is called a man in the middle attack and somebody with access to the service could also steal the private key.

So you should hold on to it yourself.


It appears that your unbroadcasted transaction is paying a fee of a little over 20 sats/vbyte. Perhaps if you increase this fee then nodes will not drop it.

You can also try clearing your mempool by stopping Core, deleting the mempool.dat file inside the bitcoin folder, and then launch it again with -zapwallettxes option if you have Core < 0.21 or start it with no options and then run the abandontransaction <txid> RPC call for Core == 0.21. This should delete your transaction from your mempool since it doesn't seem to have been broadcasted to other nodes yet.

Perhaps a worked example will help demonstrate things slightly easier... when you do the dumpwallet in Bitcoin Core, you will receive a text file that looks something like this at the top:

Code:

The 0014 "keys" are not actually keys, as nc50lc noted, they are redeem scripts for your "P2SH" addresses... And, for the purposes of importing to Electrum, they are not required. The standard WIF private keys in the top half are all that you need to shift to Electrum:

So, as I'm sure you're aware... you use the "Import Bitcoin address or private keys" option:



If you click the "info" button, it will give you some guidance as to which "prefix" you need to use with the WIF private key to generate the address you require:



as you can see... to generate:
- the old style legacy addresses ("1"-type), you use p2pkh
- Nested Segwit ("3"-type), you use p2wpkh-p2sh
- Native Segwit ("bc1"-type), you use p2wpkh


So, you can either create separate wallets for each type:
=>


=>


Or, you can just create one wallet with all the different types in it:
=>


NOTE: I didn't import the old school legacy (p2pkh) addresses simply because I was in a rush
