Hello all,

With Bitcoin Core... you'll want to try this:

Quote
  • Start Bitcoin Core with the command-line option -walletbroadcast=0. On Linux, you might be able to just run bitcoin-qt -walletbroadcast=0, depending on how your current startup script works. On Windows: find the shortcut for Bitcoin Core on your desktop or start menu; right click it and choose "properties"; add -walletbroadcast=0 to the end of "target", so for example "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" would become "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -walletbroadcast=0; click "Apply"; use that specific shortcut to start Bitcoin Core.
  • On the Transactions tab, right click the stuck transaction and choose "abandon transaction". Warning: Even though the transaction is listed as abandoned, it can still go through. People have in the past lost money by abandoning a transaction, resending a separate replacement transaction, and then having both transactions go through. The following steps are designed to replace the abandoned transaction in a way which will prevent this sort of double payment from happening.


Using on linux
Code:
bitcoin-qt -walletbroadcast=0
and then right click on the TX and selecting "Abandon transaction" WORKED!

Thanks for the info.

Regards,
