Thanks for the offer, CIYAM!

I did some searching about rebroadcasting a transaction and managed to do it myself (!) at blockchain.info. Et voila! The transaction showed up nearly instantly in my electrum wallet.

As an aside regarding the fee - Bitcoin-qt generated the fee in what seemed to be an automatic manner, I did not choose that amount myself, only approved it. It seems there is a lot of talk about the fees but its hard to find a consensus on what an appropriate transaction fee should be for any given transaction.

I will updated this thread once my Tx has been confirmed.

Thanks!

Thanks again, DannyHamilton


I would prefer not to change the transaction, that sounds kind of messy, and just hope that the original will be broadcast and accepted into a block.

Here is the raw transaction:

Code:
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

If any of you would like to help by rebroadcasting I would really appreciate it!

Thanks for the extra replies. Though I've been "using" BTC for years I remain a well-seasoned noob. I don't know what the "raw transaction" is, nor do I understand how to restructure it, nor do I know the difference between signed and unsigned transactions...don't think I ever "signed" anything for BTC. I never could figure out how to properly export my Bitcoin Wallet to a format that Electrum can use, which is why I'm just using a new wallet and transferring everything over. Never thought a simple bitcoin transaction would be so complicated!

Nevertheless, DannyHamilton, I would be happy to take you up on your offer to post the raw transaction and hope that the extra broadcasts speed up the process. That is, if someone is willing to tell me how to find that information. My searching on the matter only reveals more of my ignornance :/

Thanks shorena!

I will do as you both suggest and allow my bitcoin core to catch up to the chain. My hope is that the Tx will be picked up before I'm completely synched, as that will probably take weeks at this point...

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks, cr1776!

I just read your post as I was going to edit the orginal, but I suppose a reply will do as well.

After poking around in the forum I see many people are missing transactions because of fees that are too small. I've been out of the loop for a while and didn't realize that this fee thing had become so serious!

The fee of my "missing" transaction was a shameful 0.00000763 BTC   Undecided

I know its bad protocoll to change queries mid-thread, but if it is in fact due to a small transaction fee, how long will I have to wait for a miner to pick it up? It has now been almost a week since the orginal transaction, assuming it went through properly despite my out-of-sync bitcoin-qt.

Thanks!

Missing transaction [Solved]

Hi guys and gals,

Hadn't used my BTC in quite a while but wanted to make a purchase at a local store that accepts BTC.

My bitcoin-qt was 50 weeks out of date, so I decided to switch to Electrum rather than wait for the blockchain to download.

I made a small transfer from Bitcoin-qt to my new Electrum wallet to test, it worked out fine and the BTC showed up almost immediately. About 30 minutes later I transferred the rest to the same address and they never arrived!

I checked the transactions at Blockchain.info and saw the first transaction, but the second is not there. The transaction ID of the missing transaction also did not show up.

Both transactions were from August 5th.

I'm not quite sure how to proceed. Are my hard earned BTC lost forever? Do I need to update my blockchain on bitcoin-qt to find out if they bounced back? I haven't experienced this issue in the past, would appreciate any advice.

Thanks, vitsum, for clearing that up!

Still not sure what happened, but he gave me the benefit of the doubt and I was reimbursed.


which I promptly lost on his game Smiley


currently depositing a little more, hopefully it works this time!


But I do have to say, I did see a problem that one other user was reporting.  Sometimes I click "take bet" and it doesn't give the winnings.  Just gives my bet back, without the extra *2 or *4 or whatever.  Happened a couple of times... otherwise high addictive.  I will lose all my BTC to this I'm sure !!!

Been waiting since sunday for my latest payout from the site.  Anyone else notice things are different on freebitcoins.org?  The USD indicator has disappeared, and suddenly the payout has decreased dramatically.  Plus, did I mention?  STILL waiting on my payout!

Anyone else having problems there recently?

Hi!  I'm also looking to post elsewhere in the forum.  Would have helped me yesterday trying to install cgminer! Although I must say, two very nice bitcoiners helped me in the newbie section.  I've unashamedly added my freebitcoins.org link in many posts, though I wouldn't consider that spam!

White-list, here i come....!

Hmm that might be a worthwhile forum to start-up.  A place where sellers and buyers can find each other State by state, maybe I should look around on Craigslist.

It already exists!

hmm..

I followed these instructions in the readme successfully, that should give me the ati sdk, right?

Code:
Basic *nix build instructions:
To build with GPU mining support:
Install AMD APP sdk, latest version - there is no official place to
install it so just keep track of where it is if you're not installing
the include files and library files into the system directory.
(Do NOT install the ati amd sdk if you are on nvidia)

The easiest way to install the ATI AMD SPP sdk on linux is to actually put it
into a system location. Then building will be simpler. Download the correct
version for either 32 bit or 64 bit from here:
http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx

This will give you a file with a name like AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz

Then:

sudo su
cd /opt
tar xf /path/to/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz
cd /
tar xf /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/icd-registration.tgz
ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/include/CL /usr/include
ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64/* /usr/lib/
ldconfig
