When dealing with Bitcoin transactions, you might encounter an "invalid status." This means the transaction has not been accepted by the Bitcoin network. Here's a breakdown of common reasons why this happens and when you should contact your wallet support for assistance.

Common Reasons for Invalid Status

Double Spending

• Explanation: Attempting to spend the same bitcoins in more than one transaction.
• Solution: Ensure you're not trying to use already spent bitcoins.

Insufficient Fees

• Explanation: The transaction fee is too low, making miners unlikely to process it.
• Solution: Increase the transaction fee and try again.
• Contact Wallet Support: If you're unsure how to adjust fees in your wallet, reach out to their support team.

Malformed Transaction

• Explanation: The transaction does not conform to protocol rules, such as having invalid signatures or incorrect input/output values.
• Solution: Verify and correct the transaction details.
• Contact Wallet Support: If you can't identify the issue, contact support for help.

Nonexistent Inputs

• Explanation: The transaction is attempting to spend inputs that do not exist or have already been spent.
• Solution: Ensure the inputs are valid and not previously spent.
• Contact Wallet Support: For assistance in verifying inputs, get in touch with your wallet provider.

Mempool Conflicts

• Explanation: The transaction conflicts with another transaction already in the mempool (the pool of unconfirmed transactions).
• Solution: Wait for the conflicting transaction to confirm or clear, then try again.
• Contact Wallet Support: If the issue persists, seek help from your wallet's support team.

When to Contact Wallet Support

If you encounter any of the above issues and cannot resolve them on your own, it’s best to contact your wallet’s support team. They can provide specific guidance tailored to your wallet and transaction details. This ensures your transactions are correctly processed and reduces the likelihood of future issues.

By understanding the reasons behind an invalid status and knowing when to seek help, you can ensure smoother Bitcoin transactions. If you have any questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to your wallet support team.
