robinson5 (and stealth923 ?), unconfirmed transactions can happen with every coin (and this is unrelated to the bigger-than-100kb-transaction-size issue from the exchanges)
I'm not an expert so anyone feel free to correct, but there are at least 2 things you can do:

=====================
UNCONFIRMED TRANSACTIONS
What to do before saying Coin is broken Tongue

=====================
if your peers connexions are not good enough, transactions could be not well broadcasted. I think unconfirmed transactions are re-broadcasted regularly if you leave the wallet open (every 90 minutes ?). If this doesn't help, try the following:

1. Rescan while your wallet is shut down:
linux:

Code:

anoncoin-qt -rescan

windows (I think, not sure):

Code:

anoncoin-qt.exe -rescan

If the transaction isn't broadcasted to other nodes, you may not be very connected to others, or not enough. It might really be a network/peers issue with your wallet/computer/firewall/ISP (?)
Do the following:

2. get your transaction id :
Run the wallet, and in the details, get to the unconfirmed transaction id, right click to get the transaction id. Then go to the console inside the wallet (help > debug window > console) and type this:

Code:

getrawtransaction

replace with the actual transaction ID you got previously in the wallet sent transactions details.

You will then get a very large number.
What you should do now is give that number to someone else who has his own anoncoin wallet well connected to network of peers, and let him broadcast the transaction for you, by going in his wallet console (help > debug window > console) and typing:

Code:

sendrawtransaction 02bf32c36565verylargenumbershortened

(the raw transaction is very bigger than this above Wink

)

CONCLUSION
========
If and only if these methods didn't work, provide any error message and/or screenshots before saying the coin is broken please.

If you dont believe this can happen in other coins (even bitcoin), search for "darkcoin frozen transactions how to fix it".

Hope that helps...

Thanks so much alacast! I'll definitely ask him to rescan the transaction. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply the coin was broken. I thought it was related to the 100kb problem and if it was happening to wallets as well it should be addressed asap because that would be really bad. But if this is a normal thing that occasionally happens to all coins then that's great. Once we switch the difficulty algo and hopefully fix the exchange issues we will have really good framework set for zerocoin in testnet.
