Lost money with Bitcoin Core wallet

1

I was sent $750 worth of BTC on 11/29/17. On 1/7/18, I finally got to 11/29/17 while syncing the blockchain to the core wallet and my coin arrived. However, on 1/7/18 I tried to send part of it to the Bread wallet and the rest to an online site. The Core wallet debited the coin and I was expecting that when it synced to 1/7/18 the money would arrive to those places. However, the blockchain has passed 1/7/18 and my coin has not reached the receivers.

These are the transactions that have not arrived:

You linked adresses. Not transaction ID's.

It seems to me that you A. either failed to broadcast your transaction, or B. you broadcasted it with a fee that was so low that nodes eventually dropped your transaction.

( Or maybe your coins got double spend?)

A is much more likely. Are you sure you are spending the right outputs? I can't really give a solution other then that you should try to simply rebroadcast your transaction with the information i currently have.

I am not sure about A. How would I broadcast them? It shows as being sent in the wallet and they deducted the coin immediately. Also not sure about B. I just checked the box that said to deduct the fee which in the Core wallet said was estimated to be .00002 or something.Rashad Daoudi 2018-01-08T19:17:32.153

Could you give me the transaction ID or raw transaction hex? I think somehow your bitcoin core is blocking you from broadcasting the tx. ( Check if you're connected to a node.Rutger Versteegden 2018-01-08T19:20:10.060

Also, the Bread wallet showed how much the transaction is worth even though I never gave it the amount, only the address. The coin even appeared in my wallet for a few minutes before it vanished. So they obviously recognized this at least temporarily.Rashad Daoudi 2018-01-08T19:22:07.227

that is the ID for one of the transactions. if you can provide directions on how to make sure it broadcasted please let me know. I'll happily send you $50 worth of bitcoin if you can solve this for me.Rashad Daoudi 2018-01-08T19:24:02.687

Open up the RPC console and then you try abandontransaction f095e4d01ee07e03c3a075f33da5ce3bb88958e343c5a3fa283b6f92411f‌​8e60, then resend/rebroadcast it? If that doesn't do it Then use -zapwallettxesRutger Versteegden 2018-01-08T19:28:11.600

I don't know how to do that. Can you explain? I am on a Mac.Rashad Daoudi 2018-01-08T19:30:46.243

Click Help -> Debug -> ConsoleRutger Versteegden 2018-01-08T19:31:39.877

Can you be more specific? Is this code I am supposed to enter? Not sure exactly where to put it.Rashad Daoudi 2018-01-08T19:34:51.627

Go to the mac terminal, close your bitcoin core, and run, bitcoin-qt -zapwallettxes, then restart your bitcoin core.Rutger Versteegden 2018-01-08T19:37:39.983

i had to leave so I can't restart the wallet until i get home later tonight. but when i put this code into the Terminal it says command can not be foundRashad Daoudi 2018-01-08T19:51:06.497

You'll need to go into the /Applications/ where you located bitcoin coreRutger Versteegden 2018-01-08T19:55:15.817

I don't see where to enter that code in the ApplictionsRashad Daoudi 2018-01-09T17:29:45.777

I found all the blockchain transactions in that Applications file.Rashad Daoudi 2018-01-09T17:31:46.927
