Balance tranforms to Unconfirmed Transaction #862
Comments
|
This looks like the same bug as described here: Have a look at the message contents of the link and see if either of the workarounds work for you |
|
Also, can you have a look at the transactions wizard for your unconfirmed transactions (double click on the row in 'Payments') and have a look at the Transaction status. Does it say something like 'Seen by 10 peers', or 'Transaction status unknown' ? Thanks |
|
Exiting the client, renaming the backup folder and "restore wallet from wallet words" seem to work. Thank you for your help @jim618. |
|
That's good. To debug this effectively I need a wallet where the problem occurs. Would you be willing to 'burn' (i.e. never use again) the wallet where you had a problem ? This would entail:
Obviously I would be able to see your transactions and notes so I would understand if you didn't want to. Also, if you mail me it you can assume that someone, somewhere will be snooping on your data. I ask as it's pretty much impossible to replicate this bug otherwise though. If you are happy to do this then send me everything to jim618@fastmail.co.uk. |

Hey, check your inbox, i sent you all information you requested. Good Luck figuring out what the heck is going on with it. |
|
Hi GreenOut.
Thus it is not reproducible on my machine |
|
Well, i didn't make up this issue and maybe it's because i already fixed this wallet from another PC. I can assure you that this issue was for real and i'm sorry that i can't be of any further help. However, if i'll have this issue again in the future, i'll contact you immediately. |
|
Hi GreenOut, I've asked the other users (on the bitcointalk thread) if they would be willing to send me their wallets to see if I can make progress that way. Thanks for your feedback |
|
I have put in two probabilistic fixes for the disappearing transaction confidence information:
These changes will appear in MultiBit HD v0.2.1 |
|
I'm unsure whether or not I can be of any help but you're not alone. I kept a backup of my old backup and Roaming\MultibitHD folders in case of. Things I had tried:
If I can do anything else than report to help, be sure to tell me. |
|
Yes it does seem like an 'occasional' bug. When you mentioned you had this happen with a change password I tried change password in the UI a few times to see if I could reproduce it without luck. I have put in two fixes which may help (to do with the object that manages the TransactionConfidences). We seem to have a workaround with renaming the wallet directory and doing a restore. |
|
Reporting again on the issue, the fix didn't exactly last very long. Then this happened: Applied the fix again and restored from words, sent again another transaction:
|
|
@Codytrill Your last post is actually normal MulitBit HD behaviour when it does not detect your transaction propagating across the network. When the transaction gets confirmed the balance is then available to spend. The root cause of it is that you are only connected to 3 peers.
When it 'hears' the transaction come back again from enough peers it believes that the transaction has propagated successfully across the Bitcoin network. It is then considered a 'good' transaction and the change in your transaction you can spend. Because you are connected to only 3 peers it doesn't hear back from enough peers and so:
I hope that makes sense. |
|
What I wrote after the screenshot was just a recap of what happened. During the crash that happened the first time, I had 9 peers or so, also, even after waiting for a while it didn't go back to normal, thatçs why I originally made the post. |
|
This issue happened to me for the third time and unfortunately to fix the issue I have been forced to use function repair wallet many times. I have received transactions without problems I have leaved MultibitHD opened and after a couple of hours: 0 .00 BTC + All my amount unconfirmed. Something in the synchronization task is bugged and needs a fix. |
|
I have (inadvertantly) reproduced this same problem. I leave MultiBit HD (v 0.3.0) open/running in RAM. Also, recently and unrelated, I have developed network problems. So, while trying to sort that out, I observed that my intermittent network connection directly and strongly correlates to the MultiBit HD/Unconfirmed Balance issue. It's as if MultiBit HD 0.3.0 should be more tolerant of a flaky connection to the Internet, relying on what it knows of the blockchain from the last time it saw it. I understand that would open all sorts of insanity. So, maybe just show the balance with a timestamp? Then persistently retry and if the blockchain can be made current again, the timestamp would fall away, being replaced by the string "up to date" or some such... |
|
kliyer: No, it has nothing to do with KeepKey. I sent coins to my wallet from an exchange and the client is telling me that there are 13 confirmations but the balance is still unconfirmed. What is going on here? |
|
I tried repairing the wallet several times, getting the unconfirmed balance every time I tried to send coins, so I resorted to searching and came across this. I recreated the wallet with my wallet words as suggested (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1361928.msg13927284#msg13927284), and all is good. |
|
Same problem happened to me. I upgraded Mulitbit HD to 0.4.1 a couple of days ago and my balance showed up as Unconfirmed. I don't run the wallet very often so it's possible the problem would have been present in the previous version and I just didn't notice it. Tools/Repair fixed the problem. My last transaction was over 20,000 blocks ago. I find it more than a little disturbing that Multibit can arbitrarily decide my balance is unconfirmed, especially when I haven't made any transactions. Time for a different wallet, I think. |
|
I also had this issue. It resolved when I ran "repair wallet". I'm including my error.log file, if that's any help. |
|
@jim618 I’ve tried everything in last few days and still nothing worked. I have a lot of money blocked by this bug.
During restoration process about 3% of transactions have status «Unknown transaction status» while having over 40k confirmations on blackchain, but at some point (60% progress last try) they ALL turn to same unknown status and new ones seem ok until next point and so on. By the end it’s always my whole balance is unconfirmed. |
|
I finally got it solved after 3 days of trying all suggestions I was able to find by installing 4th copy of windows on new VM and old version 0.1.0 of multibit HD. Restored wallet from seed (3-4 hours) and this time it worked for some reason. |
|
Hi @qeioz , sorry for the late response. I am glad your issue was resolved. However if you need any further assistance i would suggest you contact KeepKey Support Desk at https://keepkey.freshdesk.com/support/solutions. |
|
Have this problem also, previously confirmed transactions now show as unconfirmed. Searching for another wallet... Why is this a closed issue? |
|
Just realized that my wallet's funds were Unconfirmed again. I've moved all my BTC elsewhere, and unfortunately I'm done with Multibit HD. If anyone can suggest a good multi-currency desktop wallet, I'm all ears. |
|
My MultiBit client has the same bug. MacOS 10.12.4 |
|
Why is this issue closed? It seems many people are still hit with this bug. It happened to me today. Doing a wallet repair fixed the problem, for me, this time. However, no offense but it would bring some more confidence if the developers were showing some kind of concern about it. EDIT: nope. I did not even quit the process and 3 hours later, same problem occurred. Never had any issue with 0.4.1, upgraded to 0.5.1 last week, then hell broke loose. Sad. |
|
I've switched back to MultiBit Classic. Much better multi-wallet UI. |
|
I saw this problem. Part of my balance was unconfirmed. Tried repairing the wallet, but after that all of my balance was unconfirmed. Deleting the application data and restoring the wallet helped. |
|
Have this problem too. Haven't sent any transactions for months. Have a few open pending requests though. The network was fully synched, with 10 peers. Left app open for a few days. All of my balance went to 'unconfirmed'. WTF? Multibit HD 0.5.1 |
|
folks, when are you all going to learn to use another wallet?

@XENON3 Which wallet can you suggest and why? |
|
Is there a secure way to download an installer for v0.1.1? (edit: found it at https://multibit.org/releases/multibit-hd/multibit-hd-0.1.1/ ) edit2: multibit v0.1.1 has helped. I still have a bit on Unconfirmed, but the main part is a lot better. |
|
I learned something in life. I do not recommend any wallets or any trading
or investment advice. It's just not necessary.

For all those having issues with this wallet: first of all, realize it is ABANDONWARE. So as long as you manage to get the funds unlocked (I downgrade to v0.1.x) move all your funds to another wallet. |

dear posters on Github, I am totally new to the Github community (heard of it, but that's all) and have no programming experience at all, so I doubt I can ever help you guys out. But I ran into problems with my Multibit account where I had stored a few Bitcoins and then panicked when the bitcoins were unconfirmed and I was unable to process a sale I made. Luckily I found this thread, which helped me out. As many of you, I first tried to restore the wallet, but that did not work. I then installed version 0.1 of the Multibit HD as recommended, on another notebook, and restored the wallet with my wallet words. After a few hours, it was restored and the bitcoins were back! I immediately moved them out the Multibit wallet and I followed the advice here to move them to an Electron wallet. Thank you guys for this thread and the help it provided to this newbie. |
|
Also had the problem with unverified transactions, some where 2 years old. |
|
Just spend half a day just trying to get to my funds out with the instructions above. To save your nerves/time, do not use multibit. |

Hello , I input only one address to pay 0.007786 to 1ESYJmDnUnEebAKSFvyFsrBqXf6speAvz4 1PzH621B1o2FDhup5aTUB878XqyfZGVZcK 0.7999385 BTC how this transaction happened ? i try to repair wallet after that my confirmed 0.8 btc become unconfirm (Which was confirmed before - and only sent 0.007786) Thanks |
|
@bugaiov and others still having the issue I too had issues today with transactions that were confirmed over a year ago. What I did that worked for me was
I tried fixing the wallet 3 times but ultimately this did the trick Hope this work for you too! EDIT: But I still managed to make it work! So if this happens to you, redo the procedure above, but when MBHD start to sync up, quit at lets say 10% completion. open up again and quit at 50% of the sync. Then open and finish up the sync. |

If you have a low transaction fee, set-up -- for example-- Electrum to always allow for Child-Pays-for-Parent. Then add a Receive in Electrum, send it over from MultiBit (the transaction should show up in Electrum with a status of Low Fee), and then create a new transaction based on the older, low-fee one in Electrum. Set a high(er) fee, sign it and broadcast from Electrum. Now the miners should have a better incentive to work on the low-fee parent as part of the higher-fee child.. |

I have tried everything here and I still have almost $300 unconfirmed. Using breadwallet did nothing. Restoring from seed did nothing. In fact it showed no btc at all. I installed breadwallet. Nothing. I have been in touch with CS for almost 5 days and nothing. Not a word, not a peep., not a I'm sorry we know this is a bug. For us newbies on Macs, how do we get an older version? What happens to btc if I just delete the app? I've been working on this for a week plus updating CS who is supposed to have a 2 day turn around and have heard nothing. I just need to get the money to move elsewhere. For those who say just empty your wallet, that only works on confirmed money. IF money is unconfirmed thten nothing. Oh and I"ve tried to update to version 5 but it never works. I started I think with version 4 HD and it's getting worse and worse so I'm going to use something else but how do I get my BTC confirmed, not to mention $70 that has not been confirmed in a week even thought my fee was decent. It's dead in the water too. So sick of this and the lack of response from Multibit. They were good, then all of the sudden nothing. Just repaired wallet again. Nothing. I have electrum and breadwallet is synching. Can someone dumb down what to do. I had to all apple to find the file to put Old in. Where can I download an older version. It won't even let me install 5 even though I do it. Keeps me stuck at 4. I found multibut Classic and installed it but it doesnt' even show the btc that are unconfirmed. How do I get them there then i can be done with this nightmare? Thanks |

One of the top comments shows where you can download the .dmg file for MacOS. Make sure you have your 12 word backup. That way you can always get your wallet back. MultibitHD also makes lots of backups. So look at those and make sure you have a copy of it. Just look here and google to find out how to install it. https://multibit.org/releases/multibit-hd/multibit-hd-0.1.1/ |

Is this a scam? |
|
Nice try @tyrex25 , |
|
They do seem like they have screwed everyone over. Been having this issue awhile now. Good way to utterly destroy an application. |
|
Hi Folks, Thank you in advance for any assistance. |
|
Yeah, seem to remember I had a similar issue. Been busy with a few things but I guess its time to resolve this. Bet I could track down everybody from Multibit without much effort.

Hi Folks,
I have used multibit to hold my bitcoin for a while now. Currently using 0.5.1. I went online to see if there had been any updates lately and discovered it is no longer supported. I opened an Electrum wallet and attempted to transfer my remaining BTC. It has been almost 24 hours and the BTC has not appeared in my Electrum wallet yet. I have tried Wallet Repair 3 times.
The status says "Waiting for feedback about this transaction from the Bitcoin network". When I check the transaction at blockchain.info it says the transaction is not found. The status under payment request details says "This transaction did not pay bitcoins to any payment request."
I have also tried creating a backup and restoring from words. When I enter the words the "Next" button is grayed out so I cannot proceed. I also tried restoring the wallet in Electum, but the video from Multibit says you need at least a 12 word seed for this and mine is less than that.
I would really appreciate any help you could offer so I can recover my money. Please let me know if you need further information. I reached out to Keepkey, who responded that the do not have the resources to assist and I should reach out to Multibit HD. I reached out to Multibit HD and received an auto response that they no longer support their product.
On a side note, I would have been really nice if keepkey or multbit had added a message to the application advising it was going dark.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

HI, I have the same issue, but further down the road. Bitcoin sitting in MultibitHD Unconfirmed. No luck getting it out yet... CheesyBendito, the fact that the next button is greyed out means you typed your wallet words WRONG. I had this had to reverse engineer my handwriting LOL. A fresh install of MultibitHD restored from my wallet words did NOTHING to improve my situation. I am now exploring exporting from this defunct app, but don't have that working yet either... |

Export. Move to another wallet. It’s a pain in the ass process but mine are nw in BreadWallet. Yeah!

and others
After the update a couple days ago, my wallet balance transformed itself to an Unconfirmed Transaction.
I already try to "Repair Wallet" 5 times and reinstalled the client but it doesn't change anything. There are no open transaction and all have 50+ Confirmation.
If i try to sent a payment, it tells me that i don't have enough funds available.
The Network is fully synced and there are no outstanding blocks.
Please someone find me a solution as losing your Bitcoin's after using your wallet is very disappointing.
Best Regards.
