Failed to send transaction #32

Open miketsl opened 7 years ago

miketsl commented 7 years ago

Hi, Been using mSIGNA for a while, and generally love it. Recently I am running into a bit of a problem with it though. When I go to send a new transaction, I sign it like usual, it shows up on the top of the transaction tab as "unsent". I have a connection with the network,...and no matter what I do, it never sends the transaction.

When this first started happening, I was able to close mSIGNA, and open it again, delete the transaction, then resend it, and sign it. It would work for 1 transaction before doing the same thing. Now this "trick" doesn't work anymore.

I have a few btc trapped in the wallet :/

I tried to recover the wallet by exporting private keys, and importing into MutliBit. But multibit, after going through all the blockchain to "recover" the wallet, has the balance listed as 0btc. There is definitely a balance in the mSIGNA.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get mSIGNA to send out a transaction successfully or at least, how to transfer the balance into another wallet?

Any help appreciated.

I had a similar issue and was unable to sync properly or send transaction from mSigma. Transaction failed to confirm in mSigna despite having thousands of confirmations on the blockchain. Every time I would try to send a transaction mSigna would crash. I spent 3 weeks upgrading schemas, rebuilding vaults, and syncing transactions. Version 0.10.6 specifically stated that it would fix the situation yet still failed.

After 3 weeks of dealing with mSigna's bugs I tried to get the private keys out so I could sweep the keys. It's extremely difficult to get the private keys for each address without knowing the derivation path. In the end I generated a transaction with mSigna and had to broadcast it to the blockchain manually. This method worked perfectly for me and I safely got all my bitcoins and Bitcoin Cash out of the corrupted mSigna software.

I highly suggest finding a new wallet option ASAP and NEVER use mSigna again. mSigna is unstable, poorly supported, bug-ridden, and a danger to your Bitcoins!

  1. Create backup of vault file
  2. Disconnect from node/localhost
  3. Determine appropriate fee to ensure transaction is approved by blockchain. Example site: https://estimatefee.com/
  4. Create 'Send' transaction using different wallet address
  5. Enable 'Coin Control' option and select coin
  6. Send full amount of specified coin minus the fee, make sure 0 funds remain to prevent bitcoin being sent to 'Change Address'
  7. Sign transaction
  8. Export 'Raw' transaction to clipboard
  9. Broadcast 'Raw' transaction to blockchain with online tool or node CLI. Example site: https://blockchain.info/pushtx
  10. Monitor new wallet for transaction to be confirmed
  11. Repeat with all coins
  12. Once all transactions are confirmed destroy your mSigna vaults and don't ever use mSigna again.
