Re: Diving into an old BTC wallet from ~2014 and found a nice surprise

Or so I thought... That test transfer has the status of "0/unconfirmed, not in memory pool" within Bitcoin Core. I have done some reading on this (other forum posts across the years) and I'm not clear on why is occurring

This means that the transaction has been rejected for some reason.

Depending on the fee rate used... it's possibly because of the "mempool min fee". But you should really have received an error message when attempting to send it... rather than it just showing as "not in memory pool". Huh

You can attempt to rebroadcast it... right click the transaction, select "Copy Transaction ID":

Then goto the "console" in Bitcoin Core (Window -> Console):

Then enter the command:

Code:

getrawtransaction PUT_THE_TRANSACTION_ID_HERE

That should give you a big long string of random looking "hex" characters... 0-9A-F... copy paste that string and use the command:

Code:

sendrawtransaction PUT_THE_HEX_STRING_HERE

If it all goes well, you should receive the "TransactionID" as output...

However, if, instead of the TransactionID being returned, you get some other error message, post the error message here.
