I have read the stickied topic about this and it suggested that I delete the transaction from my wallet using pywallet and resend the transaction with a fee. Can anyone tell me what happens to the bitcoins from the original transaction? Will it come back to my wallet?
Another question. After sending the above 0 fee transaction which shows unconfirmed on blockchain.info, i sent two other transactions, one with 0 fee and another with a VERY small fee. These two subsequent transactions are not showing up at all on blockchain.info. Should I follow the same procedure as with 0 confirmations and delete the transaction from my wallet? I am using bitcoin core v0.12.1 if it matters.
Thanks in advance for any help.
It would be better if you use -zapwallettxes command instead. Use the flag when you start the client and the wallet will rescan and include only confirmed transactions. Next, you can spend it after waiting for a while with a higher fee.
The transaction will disappear from your wallet and the amount will be added back. However, I would advise you to spend it after waiting for sometime since most nodes would not have forgotten about the transaction and they would not transactions spending same inputs.
It is likely that your transaction did not fit the criteria and nodes did not relay it thus blockchain.info and majority of the network hasn't seen it. If miners don't see the transaction, they will not mine it. You can either rebroadcast the transaction periodically and hope a miner includes it in their block or use the steps I have mentioned. It isn't a must for you to wait since not all the nodes has seen it yet and some nodes and miner will include the new transaction in their mempool.
