What does a negative "confirmations" value in listtransactions mean?

3

I sent a transaction on a small altcoin, and running listtransactions an hour later or so says -1 confirmations. It is forked from Bitcoin Core 0.8 and barely modified. What does this mean?

-1 means not in local mempool and not in a block

I ended up resolving this by running a -rescan, which made the transaction disappear from the mempool, which would imply that it was ONLY in the local mempool...so are you sure about this? – markasoftware – 2017-06-13T16:45:07.853
