Transaction supposedly failed but still went through

moritztim opened this issue · 7 comments

I sent some monero to an address from my address book using the GUI. It said something to the effect of transaction failed however when I checked the history it did go through, to an "Unknown Recipient". My wallet is now missing that amount of monero and the recipient has not recieved any money.
I know this is probably not enough info, feel free to ask for more

The recipient got it. They had to scan the transaction tho

Can you share from Settings -> Info

I may have been running my own node while making the transaction, I'm not sure.

You seem the have selected a remote node here. Did you make the transition from your local node?

Also currently, does it still say failed or does it say confirmed? Did it only temporarily said failed?

Unfortunately I don't remember if at that point I was running a local node or not.

It never said failed in the transaction list. But after making the transaction the popup said that it failed.

I'm not sure what happened, but the correct status of a transaction can always been seen in the Transactions tab.
