TX created by Recovery Tool stays 'unconfirmed'
Spent many hours trying to understand this problem.....
I had around 4.3BCH in my Copay wallet. I sent a few test 0.05BCH to test the address converter. No problems. I managed to send and successfully receive 3BCH to other addresses. The last 1.25BCH, i sent and created a tx in the App, and i have a confirmation email.....but the tx did not ever show on the blockchain. I then tried the recovery tool. It successfully scanned and identified the BCH that i could not send above. I then entered a receiving address i previously and successfully used. A tx was created this time, however, this tx is now stuck for a day now??? This cannot be a fee issue (the recovery tool did not give me a choice to change the fee anyway, as far as i can remember), as it appears to be enough. So whats the problem here? Something to do with the old swept addresses?? Im no coder, so please dumb down the answer/solution. Thanks
Stuck tx, ..... https://bch-insight.bitpay.com/address/CdpRhd6YMea6LxESZbua7YZqun3DdjKA5o
btc-insight.bitpay.com is not working, see https://bch-bitcore2.trezor.io/address/1NMY8akUUbbZSpL1sraeY2wpHepofECQMx Your address received 0.05 & 0.11 bch, the 0.05 one is spent.
Thats an exchange address that received my sends. The 0.05 was from the Copay App. The 0.11 was a successful sweep and send from a Blockchain.info wallet. The other activity on that address is the exchange moving coins. But what happened to the 1.25390017 BCH i sent, is my question?
Creating a tx id, is not a nothing... ea4399c84eee15641db1c6b1528c517657ca94f3340f58f4495e411c247e46e8
But yeah, certainly issues with this wallet service.
Just done a re-scan, and the 1.25390017 BCH is again waiting to be transferred. So as far as the BCH blockchain is concerned, finway is absolutely right, nothing happened. Pretty dangerous to use wallet/services when you cant trust the information being given. Horrible. Gonna try re-sending......
So, before i sent, i just checked my Copay phone App. One of my wallets was showing available funds again. I chose to send BCH from the phone, and not use the recovery tool to re-send. Looks like it worked (currently 1 confirm)..... 553f12b5dd6b0e80027a79021b196c45822a3aaec0034d0e452578278540280f
But just to reiterate how horribly buggy and plain wrong the Copay App is....its still showing the tx as "sending" and not "sent".
Sorry, we still having problems with our backend. I will let you know when the tool start working fine again.
