Transaction still pending with 0 confirmations after 3 days about electrum-ltc HOT 11 CLOSED

It looks like this transaction has a high-S signature, which explains why miners are rejecting it. Which version of Electrum-LTC did you use to create it?

from electrum-ltc.

I downloaded electrum-ltc from the official site about a month ago, i'd say. Not sure what version it was then. I upgraded to the current version after the transaction stalled. Anyway it seems to have gone through now. Showing 56 confirmations on electrum. I don't know what a High-S signature is or how i managed to use one in the transaction but it all seems to have worked itself out.

Although the transaction is not showing up as confirmed on either blockchain explorer and the balance in electrum-ltc still shows the outgoing as 'unconfirmed'.

After the recent soft fork, the Litecoin network only accepts transactions with low-S signatures (more info here). Before version 2.5, Electrum produced high-S signatures, and that's why the network is rejecting your transaction.

Could you please try to recreate your wallet from your seed, and see if the transaction still shows up? (File > Create/Restore > Restore, make sure you leave your current wallet file alone.)

Just recreated from seed and now the transaction is showing up as pending again with zero confirmations. Weird.

OK, now please try this: go to Tools > Network, disable automatic server selection and connect to electrum-ltc.bysh.me, port 50002 instead. Then restart Electrum-LTC and try again recreating your wallet from its seed.

Okay, done. The transaction is no longer showing up.

At this point, if you want to stay on the safe side, I would suggest that you create a brand new wallet and send all your funds to it using the wallet you just recreated. Then you can make a new transaction to replace the invalid one.

I think that's the best course of action. Thanks for the help.

Reopening this because this is the same problem I have except it shows up on the chain explorer. I cannot transfer funds from old wallet to the new one to send out to my trading account.

What can I do to get my money approved or have I lost it all??

@TheMaverickProgrammer Are you sure you're at the right place? This is Electrum for Litecoin, and yours is a Bitcoin transaction.
