The -zapwallettxes fix worked!  Thanks for all the advice.  The coins are now back, safe and sound.  I'm assuming that I don't have to re-send if I don't want to without messing anything up, right?  It was going to BTC-e for trading the dump.

I think you were lucky two times here. I wouldn't send any coins to BTC-e after reading so many complaints and scam accusation against them here. They are using selective payments, they are selecting users which they pay and they have closed so many accounts without giving proper explanation why they did it, they have been neglecting emails and support is being not nice. There are other places to trade.

My experience in crypto was limited to setting up a GPU rig and ASIC butterfly rig a few years ago and scratching together a few coins.  I've heard the occasional reports of pools or trading sites going down.  BTC-e never crashed or stole my coins, albeit I usually didn't have any there or only traded for fun with a tiny amount.  What is the best place to do this now?  I haven't been active on any forums until I encountered the topic of this post, so I can just do research but I appreciate the heads up.

You have to realise your old transaction will probably still exist in the mempool of several nodes.
It means there is still a chance this old transaction will be confirmed. If you want to avoid this at all costs (even if the odds are small), you have to re-use the unconfirmed outputs as input for a higher fee transaction.

Excuse my ignorance please.  What exactly does it mean to "Re-use the unconfirmed outputs as input"?  How does one go about doing this?  Is it simply to send the exact same amount to the exact same address with higher fee or something a bit less straightforward?

After doing a little digging it looks like I would do this from the Console window and issue the command abandontransaction "aea1a2f098e20680fb6cd3f8454d5186a55c98a66796c123593b3379ae726253".  I hope it works.  I read something about it not working once in the mem pool.

The debug console looks like something I'd like to try.  I'm guessing I click Help>Debug Window.  The in the Information tab I would click the "Open" debug log file.  Is that correct?  I'm at a loss as what to do next.  Thanks for all your help so far.

I used the Bitcoin Core wallet.  So if I wait long enough it will eventually get back into the wallet?  If so, how long of wait (days, weeks, months)?  I'm not in any kind of hurry.  I was just worried that it might be lost forever.

I did the same thing as you starting out.  I set up wallets, joined a pool, and realized it would take a week to make .01 BTC.  That was about 3 or 4 years ago.  I went out and built a 2 GPU rig for about 1100 and then also got a small 6 Gh/s butterfly labs ASIC miner.  In hindsight I would have been 20 times better off if I had just taken that money and bought coins at $60.  I suspect that mining big name coins is now the realm of pros and not hobbyists.  Once ASICS hit the market it was a constant battle to get the newest/fastest gear first so that you could mine back your investment plus a little profit before it became e-waste.  Added risk was that the ASIC you got burned out right away or in a short period of time.  No warranties.  A friend of a friend had racks of GPU's and about 20k worth of burned out ASICS from China.

Hello,  I was in a hurry and used the minimum fee instead of the recommended.  My .25 btc transaction is still unconfirmed in memory pool.  Will this transaction eventually get processed?  It's been almost 4 days.  Thanks.

Thanks for all your help.  I was able to create a new wallet.  Too bad it's empty lol.  Glad I found out now instead of much later.

I opened the bitcoin-Qt folder and I see a src folder and daemon folder.  I did a search on *.dat and it's coming up blank.  Am I looking in the right area?

Is the wallet's passphrase part of the .dat file?

How would I go about getting another instance of the wallet so that I can start fresh.  I have the current wallet file backed up in case I end up remembering the passphrase.  Can two wallets exist independently of one another?

I can't get past the passphrase.  I'm using the Bitcoin-QT wallet.  I encrypted it.  I'm looking through my paperwork and found something with "Blockchain" credentials.  Shouldn't this be it?  I'm losing my mind trying to figure this out.

Are variations in GPU's normal or do I have a dud?
by
mpj76a
on 20/04/2013, 18:57:11 UTC
Hello,

I built my first rig.  It consists of two xfx 7950's.  I've been using GUI Miner and MSI afterburner for tweaking.  I've been able to get a total of 1100 M/hash/s out of the system, but it gets pretty warm and unstable at that point.  I'm happy overall since this was about expected from the wikipedia chart.

However, one card will do no more than 530, the other card cranks out 570.  No matter what settings I have, even when idle, one card runs about 5 degrees hotter than the other.  The hotter of the cards crashes much earlier in my tweaking aggression than the cooler card.  They're mounted directly into an ASUS mobo inside a coolermaster LAN box.  I thought that maybe heat accumulation with both cards running and their exact spot in the chassis may be the factor so I ran each card by itself.  No difference.

Is this sort of variation normal?

If I decided to add another card, I'm assuming I would have to locate it outside the LAN box with one of the PCI extender cables I see, correct?

Thanks!

Water cooling vs window AC unit
by
mpj76a
on 11/04/2013, 13:14:39 UTC
So I was just wondering, how effective would it be to place a box with 3 7950's right next to the vents of a window AC unit?  It would def eliminate water leakage risks.
