Bitcoin transaction not confirmed

[jalmari]

The only wallets that I know provide coin control also require the entire blockchain.  There may be some that I'm unaware of.  Perhaps someone else will stop by and be able to tell you about a wallet that has coin control and that doesn't require the blockchain.

Maybe electrum

As far as I know, Electrum does not provide coin control.

For true coin control, you have to be able to select the specific inputs that you wish to spend.  Electrum only lets you choose which address the inputs were received at.  It then chooses for itself which of those inputs to spend. Since his wallet has both dust amounts and non-dust amounts received at the same address, he needs actual coin control to separate them.

My biggest transactions are to address which dont have these dusts.

Ok, I am now loading the block chain with the Bitcoin core. Lets hope that with this one I can save my coins!

Thanks so far for helping with this one!
It might be that I will still need your help, before this is over

The transaction is now confirmed

Are these transferred coins now free from that "dust" as they are now in different wallet?

Wow!  Congratulations.  You got pretty lucky there.  I've seen similar transaction take weeks to confirm.  Glad to hear that it worked out for you.

Correct.  It's the size of the outputs that matter.  You had a few dozen outputs that were all less than 0.0001 BTC.  You've combined them all into a single transaction that creates two new outputs.  One of the new outputs is 0.1 BTC, the other is 0.00000304 BTC.

That 0.00000304 BTC output would still be considered small enough to be a problem, but I see that you included it in transaction:

which combined a whole lot more tiny value outputs into a single new output of 0.20076942 BTC.

Yep, I did that, and for that new transaction I also used much bigger fee, as you advised, and that one went smoothly!

From now on, I will use different wallet for smaller transactions and I am also still downloading the whole block chain for the Bitcoin core.

My congrats! Had the same problem a couple of weeks ago, and it was confirmed just only yesterday! But better late than never!

You was lucky as f**k, usually dusty transactions with low fee have zero chance to be confirmed
