It all started when I tried to make a couple of payments via bitcoin. The transactions just would not confirm. After doing some reading I saw that " zapwallettxes " would supposedly dump the transactions that would not confirm, so I could resend the payments. So I ran the routine. That was over 24 hours ago, and it's still running. The only way I can tell it's still running is (a) I have a blinking cursor on the DOS screen, and (b) when I try to run my wallet it says it's currently busy. Has anyone has any experience with zapwallettxes ? How long does it take to run?
What command did you actually run? – Anonymous – 2015-07-10T01:33:15.187

The daemon will keep running in the background when you do that, in another session run
bitcoin-cli stopto safely shut it down. You should be alright on your next launch. – Anonymous – 2015-07-10T12:28:41.667
