Bitcoin: Why can’t I find my transaction in Mepool?
As a Bitcoin user, you are probably not unrelated to the concept of transactions and your storage in Mepool. However, there may be several reasons why your transaction may not be visible to Mepool. In this article, we will explore certain possible causes and solutions to help you solve the problem.
What is Mepool?
Mempool is a temporary storage area used by us Bitcoin to store unconfirmed transactions before being confirmed. It is essentially a range of pending transactions that must be checked and included in a block before they are added to the blockchain. Mempool is maintained by the Bitcoin network, which periodically cleanses old or non -valid transactions.
Why can’t I find my transaction in Mepool?
There are several reasons why your transaction may not be visible in Mepool:
- Transation timing : If your transaction has been created and transmitted too early (for example, a few hours after being extracted), it can be deleted from mempool before reaching a sufficient number of confirmations.
- Non -valid or obsolete transactions : If a transaction is not valid, incomplete or reaches its maximum age, it may not be included in the mepool.
- Priority of the transaction : transactions with the highest priority (that is to say those which have more advanced characteristics such as segwit) have priority on others and can be excluded from Mempool If they are considered invalid or incomplete.
Decode your transaction
You have already decoded your transaction in a format readable by man, which is excellent. That said, exactly what happens to your transaction in terms of state (for example, not confirmed, confirmed). Here is an example of decoding:
`Json
{
"Version": "02000000",
"Marker": "00",
// ...
}
'
Understand Segwit transactions
As you have created a SEGWIT V2 RAW native transaction using PWPKH addresses (which are probably reduced versions of your private keys), the previously supplied decoding has not captured all the details. Here is an example decoded for a segwit transaction:
Json
{
"Version": "02000000",
"Type": "T",
"target": "",
"Horodat": 1643723400,
"Priority": 10,
"VCH": [
{
"TXID": "1234567890ABCDEF",
"Hash": "1234567890abcdef",
"Size": 100
}
],
// ...
}

troubleshooting advice
- Check the transaction confirmation time : Make sure you check the transaction confirmation time and that it has not reached your maximum age (that is to say 10 minutes in this example).
- Check the validity of the transaction : Make sure your transaction is completed, including the necessary fields (for example, date and time recording, priority).
- Inspect the newspapers of Mempool : See the Mempool newspaper to see which transactions have been added and when.
- Try a different knot or network
: Sometimes problems can be specific to us or individual networks. Try to connect to a different node or go to a new network.
- Wait confirmation : Sometimes it takes time to transactions to achieve enough confirmations before being visible in Mepool.
Conclusion
Finding your transaction in Mempool may seem a mysterious phenomenon, but with certain knowledge stages of knowledge and problem solving, you can identify the possible causes and solve problems. Including the nuances of Bitcoin transactions, including decoding formats and hierarchy rules, you will be better equipped to sail in the complexities of Mempool.
