Hi all Note: This is a message by me on behalf of decred dev team. First of all we apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused all of you. The developers are looking into the unconfirmed transactions & double spend issue with the web wallet. Here is a direct quote from the devs. We have resynced the blockchain and this should start showing your balance correctly. Now we need help from community to track the actual bug. If any of you see a similar error while using the wallet from now on, please report in this thread with as much information as possible. Thanks for your patience Regards Decred Team
I'm having a similar problem. I tried to send DCR to my Bittrex DCR address, when I viewed the transaction within web wallet it is unconfirmed, also date changes each time I load the page which then gives current time. ie 'Today at 11.45 am' Block chain says 'Unconfirmed Transaction!' https://mainnet.decred.org/tx/552a49b5dab2cc8b6586ce455e17502cb7d4aaaf735dd250b2076f7317c75aa1 To clarify should I wait for coins to confirm or is this a bug? Hopefully coins are not lost.
Same here. https://mainnet.decred.org/tx/1b34bfb020199d9015db540aa6a16aca38aba683785d9dcaaf799ced53eae0cf Maybe taking offline the web wallet until this is fixed would be a reasonable thing to do? I mean it's advertised on https://decred.org/ but if this is the first experience people are getting I don't think its a good idea to keep it running. EDIT: I solved the problem by creating a local wallet using the web wallet's backup seed and spent again the coins with https://mainnet.decred.org/tx/9197e905f6dca320289623f71aba905c06c354e4df4f53e3c5d798abc269b882

I did it on a Mac so I'm not sure what the difference would be on windows, but looking at this: https://medium.com/@drei4u/easy-way...the-exchanges-windows-ad1d005cf8f1#.rv8bvnzfr it looks the same. Basically you download the tools from https://github.com/decred/dcrd/releases/tag/v0.0.2 Then you start the local dcrd server with: ./dcrd -u user -P password (Wait until it downloads the blockchain) Create the local wallet with: ./dcrwallet -u user -P password --dcrdusername=user --dcrdpassword=password --create (Here you are going to be asked to enter your seed) Start the local wallet with: ./dcrwallet -u user -P password --dcrdusername=user --dcrdpassword=password Unlock the wallet for 600 seconds using the passphrase you set while creating the wallet: /dcrctl --rpcuser=user --rpcpass=password --wallet walletpassphrase <passphrase> 600 Send the funds to another address ./dcrctl --rpcuser=user --rpcpass=password --wallet sendtoaddress <address> <amount>
Thanks for your reply. I actually got it working from windows by using this guide (https://forum.decred.org/threads/br...-included-with-basic-commands-os-neutral.478/) It's actually straightforward once I realized I had to enter commands from terminal. DCR are now sent to address with 1 confirmation already, ts a shame the web wallet doesn't work properly but at least we have this option. My only question is do i have to keep CMD windows running until the coins are 6/6 confirmed? or is it ok to close after sending coins
Hello, I have similar problem. I tried to send 82 decred from web wallet to my bittrex wallet. Transcation is still unconfirmed (~42h) https://mainnet.decred.org/tx/74a85ca21e3908cc2ea44d6e506f4563a7e593aac11837d890b1bf7bd2931297
Apologies for the delay in response. Been busy hunting this and other bugs down. FYI during the day (1200GMT-2000GMT) I'm probably easiest to reach on the freenode decred chan. If you have a unconfirmed tx for more than 6 blocks come find me there and let me know. We can rebroadcast them and they have been consistently picked up after that. So firstly we are most likely going to remove the use of unconfirmed funds to create tx on the webwallet. There is a possibility that those tx are causing issues with double spends and tx going unmined. But rest assured, these "stuck/unmined tx" will never be "lost" or "gone forever." We can just resync and the tx will be removed from the insight "mempool." We'll be pushing out some updates today/tomorrow to hopefully help these issues. Again, apologies for the issue, but we are working hard to resolve. Cheers.
Just to clarify he means on their irc channel found here: https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=decred
With all the questions on wallets I am wondering if I did it right. I have had no problems that I am aware of. I did not use the binaries and cmd etc. instructions as they sounded like they were for mining. All I did was click the web wallet button on decred.org, entered my seed that I wrote down and saved several paper copies of, and there it was. It does not say testnet below it. I can't back it up though. Did I do right or is it still in limbo
Some people are having trouble sending transactions from web wallet. Its not about creating the wallet. If you didn't have those problems then its good for you.
