Hey Litecoin fans. Can someone direct me as to how to fix my wallet please? I would be very appreciative. I sent a few transactions about a month ago that never went through and never were confirmed. The transactions are listed in my wallet and the balance reflects that the LTC was moved out, but ultimately it never arrived where I sent it and was never confirmed even once. Everything is fully synced as well so I'm not sure what to do about it.
In Bitcoin, when you create a transaction, it is saved in your wallet.dat, so it will be rebroadcast indefinitely whether it gets confirmed or not. In order to get rid of it, you have to edit the wallet.dat, but you also have to wait until it disappears from the network before restarting the client. If you restart the client while it's still on the network and it is broadcast back to you, it will be put back in the wallet.dat by the client. I'm guessing the same procedure would apply to Litecoin since it's a regularly maintained Bitcoin clone. Unfortunately, the only wallet.dat editor I'm familiar with is
pywallet, but it hasn't been maintained in a long time and might not support the latest wallet.dat version if it even supports altcoins. I'm not sure the
alpha successor would either since there has been no comment on it's thread since 2014. You can give it a shot, but make a backup of your wallet.dat file first. If it doesn't work, you'll have to do some searching to see if there's other tools/ways to get the same end result. You might also try the official litecoin forums if you haven't.
