Bitcoin Transaction Not Confirming
-
So…I’m looking for some help here if someone would be so kind. I bought some stuff on tigerdirect and paid with Bitcoin. The transaction didn’t confirm in the window of time they allow (15 mins I think), so the order didn’t process. The problem is, the transaction still has yet to confirm - so the Bitcoin is stuck in limbo at the moment. Here is the info:
Status: 0/unconfirmed
Date: 2/15/2014 11:02
To: 1Gbr3RTBGnB29Y6qKM4inNpmBCXCvmGGaQ
Debit: -0.5372 BTC
Transaction fee: -0.0001 BTC
Net amount: -0.5373 BTC
Transaction ID: de4dcbb8c22d86d9f77bd47e85874416538e6491c16b4e3749bffae0cfacbddfAs you can see, it’s been quite a while. I’m wondering if the balance will show back up in my wallet if I wait, or are they just lost and I’m out of luck?

I think, if the transaction gets confirmed, it will show up at the shop’s wallet and you must clain it back at the shop, if they don’t deliver the goods then.
I’m not fully sure what happens, if a transaction is not confirmed at all, but in that case it should deemed as never happened and the coins should show up in your wallet

I’m hoping that’s what will happen…it just seems to be taking a really long time. Thanks for replying.

Have you got your coins back yet ? Or have they gone through to the shop ?

Neither. They’re still in limbo…the transaction is still sitting in my wallet at 0 confirmations. I tried to remove it manually with pywallet, but that took away all my transactions and gave me an empty wallet.

If it’s any help to you I have the exact same issue with a feathercoin transaction about a month ago, it sat for two whole days with 0 confirmations. I got my coins back with the salvage wallet command. If such a thing is on the bit coin client it may be worth a go.

I tried the salvage wallet command, but it removed all of my transactions/addresses and hasn’t restored my balance. The good news is, I always make backups. Also, I’ve checked the unspent outputs on a couple of the addresses in my wallet backup from right before I tried -salvagewallet and they appear to have a balance left. I’ll update when I figure something else out.

So I closed out of my wallet and did a rescan and sure enough, the balance just showed up. Thanks for the help guys!
