Mist: Transactions stuck on 0 confirmations

[Brunosky75]

• [x] I've asked for help in the Mist Gitter before filing this issue.

I've made 3 transactions already, and they are all stuck on 0 confirmations.
I already use the last version of the wallet 0.9.3 and most suggestion are based on update the wallet version.
I got 25 peers and I'm updated to the last block. I've use enough gas as well.
I've check the wiky but none of the fix apply.
I've enclose the screenshot and the nodes file.
I hope it's enough, thank you for your support.

Regards,

Node Log.zip

Version: `0.9.3`
OS & Version: windows
Node version: `geth 1.7.2` 
Number of blocks synchronized: 4.691.146

I have the same probleme for 2 days.
since december 5 at noon my transactions are not validated
It seems we have to put bigger fees
cf #3381

[iamgadmarconi]

Same problem, 3 transactions stuck, the oldest one 4 days. dosent even appear on etherscan.io

[ridox]

I have the same issue.

[ricosworks]

Same problem here, have done 2 transactions and it kept stuck with no confirmations at all.

[confusedrobot]

same issue here. First failed on a Mac, then failed on my fully synced Ubuntu node. Both Mist and Ethereum Wallet are sending transactions to the chain, but I am getting "0 of 12 confirmations", regardless of gas settings, or recipient. Running latest versions of everything. Already reset the db, re-synced, and that had no effect.

This feels like a blockchain problem.

I have fixed this by copying key store to a wallet installation on different Mac.

[Brunosky75]

Thank you, I will try.

Very appreciated!

I also have stuck transactions with 0 confirmations after 24 hours desipite max gas. I think ethereum is broken. If it collapses under cryptokitties, it is clearly not ready for primetime. Hopefully they fix it quick.

Same here. I sent some ETH to a friend well over 17 hours ago, but it's stuck on 0 confirmations. My wallet is also stuck on having only 1 or even no peers at all. It does seem to be in sync (says stuff like 30s since last block) so you'd __think__ it would process transactions, but nope. Etherscan just reports Sorry, We are unable to locate the Transaction Hash so the transaction wasn't even pushed it seems. I can't even cancel/remove or "outgas" the transaction because there's no nonce to override as far as I can find (and no way to do that from this wallet anyways).

Amazing how all of this (low peer count, transactions stuck) are still active issues a year later; a quick Google yields many similar/identical results from ___the start of this year___ and it's not even close to being fixed. You'd think they'd focus on stabilising __basic functionality__ like that (and its underlying infrastructure) more than "cool" extras like smart contracs.

This happens in both "Ethereum Wallet" and "Mist", by the way. Latest version, not running an external geth so should be compatible just fine.

same issue, using 0.9.2... i've got an alert saying could't be executed successfully

[xistext]

The blockchain is frozen due to cryptokitties. Ethereum is not unstoppable just unscalable.

[DinarPrince]

Same issue here.

[hoonzag]

The same issue here.
os : ubuntu 16.04
geth: 1.7.2-stable.
mist wallet: 0.9.3

I fixed.
My solution, resynchronized ethereum blockchain for mist.
I check my ".ethereum" folder when the issue are arisen.The folder is huge about 95G. So I suspect that there was a bug in the mist.
I maked a test sent a transation when finished sync. Succeed

In addition, can use MetaMask to send transations

[bozgoren]

Same problem 0/12 confirmations more than an hour.

Update: ETH gone from my wallet. 0/12 confirmations for 13 hours...

[ermito]

same issue
ipcProviderBackend - Send request failed TypeError: Cannot read property 'contractAddress' of null

[kevinquillen]

Same issue here, MacOS High Sierra.

[danjng]

Same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Transactions get submitted according to the log, but nothing is getting confirmed. Please advise...

[tahv0]

I'm having the same issue

[ymene]

I had the same problem and managed to solve it after a lot of trying. You can find a step by step guide on how to fix this issue here, together with an explanation, why this is happening in the first place. Its a bit fiddly, but hopefully it helps with your situation as well! Let me know there, if the guide helped you!

[shalnoff]

I have the same issue: pending transaction (for >30 days!) which I can't find anywhere except of my wallet. Geth on eth.pendingTransactions shows []. Etherscan saying: "Sorry, we are unable to locate this Transaction Hash". I.e. I can't find TX hash anywhere to cancel it or resubmit.

Could anybody give a hint how to resend or cancel this transaction (or just remove from the wallet list if it wasn't included in the blockchain ever)?

[danjng]

The only way I was able to fix this was to nuke my entire data directory and pull down the whole blockchain again. Wasn't that bad since you can use the flag for fast syncing. I did have to re-do my transaction though since it never went through.

[agbarbosa]

Same issue here. Any of the suggestion here have worked for someone? I don't know if the issue is related to the amount of ETH was in the wallet but I don't want to spend more ETH in a bug if that's the case.

[asn]

anything new - how to cancel a transaction? not possible? this is not the future of payment ...

[devcrp123]

Same problem here. They recently fixed the gas bug but now this bug shows up. Horrible software for a multi billion dollar cryptocurrency.

[TheSplattering]

any resolution to this?

[Soggywaters]

+1 I'm also having the same issue.

[Soggywaters]

So I found a workaround for me.

I tried methods others suggested and with moderate success. I first tried to delete my chaindata with geth (using _geth removedb_) and redownload the entire chain but that didn't work.

I then tried using the "Sync to Light Client" feature in the Ethereum wallet by sending a test deposit paying max fee and it was successful. Tried another test deposit with no fee but it failed.

I then started syncing with my local geth with RPC open to localhost (geth --cache=1024 --rpc 127.0.0.1) with the Ethereum wallet pointing to my local geth sync and it seems to be working for me.

[TheSplattering]

Hey Thanks a lot for the information. I ended up using my Ethereum and
Wallet online. I then imported the UTC file and was able to transfer from
the Wallet to my nano with that process

Hey there, my EW started working again for no reason. I did do a MEW
transfer at one point but I think things just get bogged down in the
system, sometimes for a long time.

THIS WORKS.

Hey i did try to send my eth from mist wallet to other wallet and it
lasted 10h with 0 out of 12 confirmation. After hours of searching and
testing i download MetaMask extension on chrome, uploaded my mist wallet
keys on it and made the transaction from there. 30min later my transaction
was done. Mist wallet to the bin

Good luck everyone
