From the command line, e.g. ./bitcoind -zapwallettxes. This is my last reply.

| Oct 13, 2019 at 23:39 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | Read the answers to bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/9046/… as I linked above, particularly bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/22365/5757 which explains exactly how to do this. | |
| Oct 13, 2019 at 23:36 | comment | added | dave | zap transactions? rescan? How do I actually do that though? I will go over your previous answers. And really appreciate everything you have already done. | |
| Oct 13, 2019 at 23:32 | comment | added | dave | I understand, just want to let the community know of that coinbase's customer support is basically outsourced to stackexchange. Could you help me though? I am trying to get my bitcoin qt 4.8.3 wallet/node back to whole. It is still debited that unconfirmed transaction. What should I do? | |
| Oct 13, 2019 at 23:31 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | If you zap transactions and rescan as explained in the other question I linked above, then your wallet will not know anything about the original transaction ever having existed. You will see the same balance you had before you sent it. At that point, you can generate a new address with your wallet and send your entire balance there (with a fee!) - that will ensure the original transaction can never confirm. Then you can finally send funds to coinbase (using a current deposit address) or wherever else you please. | |
| Oct 13, 2019 at 23:28 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | I don't believe CPFP is even possible with a zero-fee transaction. The parent will never be relayed, so miners won't ever see it, and they can't confirm the child without it, no matter how high the fee is. And having "a mining rig" isn't sufficient to get a transaction confirmed, not unless you want to wait an indefinite amount of time. Anyway, I get that you're upset, but the comments thread here should be kept relevant to the technical question at hand, not for general venting. | |
| Oct 13, 2019 at 23:01 | comment | added | dave | I'm really upset with coinbase at this point. They are supposed to be this major corporation. They don't have a mining rig in their engineering department? Or they don't offer cpfp? I might not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier but I know you get better results on market places on the dark web. Mark Andreesen and Horowitz should be ashamed of themselves. I could have gotten better results from a kid in his mother's basement in the third world than this multi million dollar company in the west (so they claim). Smh | |
| Oct 13, 2019 at 21:30 | comment | added | dave | so i would have to send my entire balance plus the original transaction to myself (the same bitcoin qt wallet) and that would credit my bitcoin qt wallet? Will it allow me too? | |
| Oct 13, 2019 at 21:20 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | As far as the blockchain is concerned, the original transaction never existed and the funds never left your wallet. You just have to convince your own wallet to forget about the original transaction as well, so that it has the same view as the rest of the world. Then you can create a new transaction. It's good to make sure that the inputs of the original transaction are spent, to avoid any possibility of some attacker resurrecting the original transaction in the future - as mentioned in the linked answer, this can be done by simply sending your entire balance to yourself. | |
| Oct 13, 2019 at 20:12 | comment | added | dave | so just resend it? What happens to the original transaction? Will my btc qt wallet be credited from the original transaction? | |
| Oct 13, 2019 at 19:54 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | See bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/9046/…. Note that 4.8.3 is incredibly ancient and it would be wise to upgrade. It is not a problem if they change your wallet address, this is normal and desirable. Just use the new one for the destination of the new transaction. | |
| Oct 13, 2019 at 19:43 | comment | added | dave | how do i resend with the same inputs? I am using bitcoin qt 4.8.3. It has been 7 days now. Not confirmed. I mentioned cpfp and asked them to bill my account accordingly, I don't think they even understand what I am talking about. Its all pre programmed email responses. I am worried coinbase is going to change my coinbase btc wallet address. This is my second btc transaction with them and my second coinbase btc wallet address. I think thats how messed up they are. Any suggestions? | |

| Oct 13, 2019 at 2:25 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | Did you literally set a fee of zero? Such transactions are normally not relayed, so it would be normal if coinbase never saw it. If you can tell your wallet software to just forget the transaction, then you can simply create a new one (spending the same inputs) that does have a fee. | |
