I got a tx pending since New Years. If you solve it you get 50% of the money.

[BabyBandit]

Hi guys. I got a issue I don't really care about, but now I start to get a bit annoying and curious what has happen.

I did a transaction to my friend at new years with low fee's (by that time) but now I think it should been confirmed already but it hasn't and also I was thinking if it didn't get confirmed by 14 days you should get the bitcoin back to your wallet, but that hasn't happen obvious.

Yes I got the seed phrase to the wallet (that sent the BTC) it's my wallet. it's even the same wallet that has the address I have posted on my profile here. The BTC is worth around $32 as I posting this.
And the one that can solve hit can keep 50% of the funds. I can give you log in information and seed phrase since I never gonna use that wallet again.

Is a wallet only on blockchain and here is the tx that only can be shown there nowhere else: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/1b14560ebb55e692d17138a4996cc0c79624484fcc44a6f3fb4d2f517b5d8618

I can give you all information you need such as log in to the blockchain account and also the seed phrase. And if you success to solve it, you get 50% of the total amount.
What I want to do is to reverse the transaction, but if that not possible just send it (it's to one of my best friends) and I already paid him one more time long time ago of course.*

Maybe it's a fun little project for some technical smart guy that want to learn something new? Or someone that know what it is?
Wort notice I am to lazy to even care about this because the amount is not that big, but i start to get annoyed that the money is in ____ yeah I don't know.
Who knows? Maybe it's not even worth to fix this because maybe it would cost to much in some strange way?

So hit me up if you think how to fix this, and make yourself around $15-$16 dollars worth of Bitcoin for free.
No I have not done any KYC on Blockchain, I just used their wallet.

Here's a picture of the transaction:

Disclaimer: You should never share your seed words with anyone, especially one that contains the address that you attached to your profile (Ninjastic.space seems down so I'm unable to see if it is your staked address or not, but if that is the case then it is even worse as someone could reset your password).

Have you tried making again the transaction in your wallet? I can't seem to find it on mempool.space nor blockchair, so at first I would say that your transaction wasn't sent to the network in order to be picked up by the miners.

[hosseinimr93]

Blockchain.com first saw the transaction nearly 5 months ago.
I tried to check your transaction on some other explorers like blockchair, mempool.space and blockstream. None of them had your transaction. Almost all nodes have dropped your transaction from their mempool and it's very unlikely that it can be confirmed. It's also possible that your transaction wasn't propagated to the network well at all.

Now, you should be able to make a new transaction to any address you want. If blockchain.com wallet doesn't allow you to make a transaction for any reason, import your seed phrase into another wallet like electrum.

Yes I know you''re right mate and thanks for saying it! But I will never use this wallet again and i already change my address on my profile and this has zero money on it and I hasn't use it for long time. It's zero risk involved here. It's more like a fun thing if someone can know the reason behind this and I can learn myself something new at the same time.
I have tried everything of my knowledge.

And know with this thread now people on the forum is aware that 19R6HxYfXJSja2EQEc7svYwYdERnwQhf4J is not the address to confirm that my account belongs to me anymore.

Hey thanks for the advice and for giving me the secure link! A friend tried to help me yesterday with Electrum but it did not work.  



Thanks to both of you for giving me your advice's, I appreciate you both.

The second option is very easy, just get the raw transaction hex saved by that blockexplorer.
Use their API, type this URL (containing your TXID):

Code:

https://blockchain.info/rawtx/1b14560ebb55e692d17138a4996cc0c79624484fcc44a6f3fb4d2f517b5d8618?format=hex

And it will output the raw transaction hex that you can broadcast to other blockexplorers (example) or your wallet.

I wont broadcast it myself to give you freedom to choose what to do.
I've just tested it on my node to see if there'll be no problem broadcasting the transaction:

Code:

testmempoolaccept '["0200 -snip- 0000"]'

Result:

Code:

[
  {
    "txid": "1b14560ebb55e692d17138a4996cc0c79624484fcc44a6f3fb4d2f517b5d8618",
    "wtxid": "13f2925240c3a1b197c8912cd8a7c7af501903d16b5d4d46bb52dc04dd0b2728",
    "allowed": true,
    "vsize": 178,
    "fees": {
      "base": 0.00003605,
      "effective-feerate": 0.00020252,
      "effective-includes": [
        "13f2925240c3a1b197c8912cd8a7c7af501903d16b5d4d46bb52dc04dd0b2728"
      ]
    }
  }
]

Note: broadcasting that will make the first option harder to pull-off.


For the first option; restoring the seed to other clients that supports "coin control" except those who use Blockchain.info's API should be sufficient since the transaction is already dropped by the majority of the nodes.
Use coin control (e.g.: in Electrum) to choose the same input as that transaction and use that to make a new transaction.

Thank you for the explanation even tho I am to stupid to understand a thing
But do I need to have money in the wallet and to the same transaction again?
Do you think you would be available to solve this if I gave you all the information you need and of course you get 50% of the funds if its possible to reverse it?
And if you also have time and want's of course, if not it's not that big of a deal since the amount is not that much. But would be fun to see if it would work. 

Anyway a huge thanks to you.

This sends your Bitcoin to your friend.

But do I need to have money in the wallet and to the same transaction again?

No.

Do you think you would be available to solve this if I gave you all the information you need and of course you get 50% of the funds if its possible to reverse it?

Yes. Unless you broadcast the transaction again. Now it can be replaced because nodes forgot it.

[hosseinimr93]

I see your transaction is now confirmed. Did you rebroadcast the transaction by yourself?
Since you posted the transaction ID and the raw transaction was available, any reading this thread could do that without any need to have access to your wallet.

Thanks for notifying me bro!!!

I didn't do anything, I ain't smart enough for doing stuff like that.
But I sent blockchain a e-mail about it two days ago.


Did anyone here did anything to help me? Please say so if you did, I gladly tip you something, but don't try to lie to me please.

Nc50lc helped you by posting all you need to know. I copied the raw tx from his link (but did not broadcast it).

Learn from it. Although most nodes no longer had the tx, it was still valid. Broadcasting it again was enough to confirm it.

But it's strange my friend said he only received 0.00023053 BTC. So the fee did increase a lot, is that possible? He send me a SS and would never lie to me and he have Trust Wallet if that's mattes, but it does not matter.. a funny experience and thanks to Nc50lc for explaining even tho I didn't do a thing. this forum is fucking the best! 🥇

The address bc1qqegasahhzhskua5y38sns0e69xca2kwul8twst received 0.00044642 BTC in the transaction in quetion.
0.00023053 BTC was sent from bc1q58cj0ztgt7dshfqu54nv72z37wv94q6c8vaklc which should be your own address.

Take note that you rebroadcasted the same transaction and it's not possible that you are charged more fee. For any change in transaction data like increasing the fee, you had to make a new transaction.

No one did anything to help your transaction to be confirmed 4 hours ago.

Why I say so?

Because I check the transaction and see that the fee paid for it is the same as your screenshot, so no bumping fee from Blockchain.com or you or tx accelerator.
Fee paid is 0.00003605 BTC  · 2.49 USD

Today is Saturday and mempools are usually have less waiting transactions in Saturday and Sunday. Recent days, mempools are better with cheaper fees and today gives you a good chance to get confirmation for that 5-month waiting transaction.

Mempool last one month.

Transaction wasn't confirmed because today the fees were lower.
Miners didn't have OP's transaction in their mempool that was why it hadn't been included in the blockchain. The transaction was rebroadcasted, nodes received it and miners included that in the blockchain.

Thanks everyone for explaining and helping me understand how things works. Today I have learned something new. You all are amazing. Thanks once again to everyone ♥️🙏

Just compare the "Transaction ID" (TXID) of the transaction that he screenshot and the old transaction that's rebroadcasted yesterday.
The "0.00023053 BTC" transaction must be from someone else.

Somebody must have followed the instructions that I've provided and rebroadcasted the transaction without informing you.
Anyone can do that since it's already a signed raw transaction that's ready to be included to a block,
but no one can edit any information from it like the amount (to change the fee) without having access to your private key to create a new signature based from the edited data.

FYI, I didn't broadcast it yesterday in case you want to create a replacement with your own address as the output (option1)
Then I also checked if it's in my node's mempool and other blockexplorers, and it's not existing there aside from Blockchain.com's database/mempool.
