Hi guys,
I registered a few domain names yesterday and all but one were confirmed quickly. However, one name is still pending (update) after 18 hours. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what the problem could be please?
Cheers
Domain name still pending after 18 hours
Re: Domain name still pending after 18 hours
If you are unlucky, it could have been registered by someone else in the mean time - this would cause your name_firstupdate transaction to be never confirmed (since it would be invalid) and thus pending for so long. What does 'name_show YOURNAME' show? If the name is not yet registered, you could try rebroadcasting the tx just in case it got somehow missed by the network.

Re: Domain name still pending after 18 hours
Thanks for your quick reply domob,
'name_show YOURNAME' gives this result: failed to read from name DB (code -4).
Attempts to rebroadcast the tx say "Name not available".
However, the transaction details indicate that I do own the name:
Status: 227 confirmations
Date: 30/04/2015 16:01
Name operation: name_new: d/my name
Debit: -0.015 NMC
Transaction fee: -0.005 NMC
Net amount: -0.02 NMC
Transaction ID: 4957d2e8cc813dc840f45546e4a7e09da7f948e0a36242c641a0a60003c74032
Very confusing!

Re: Domain name still pending after 18 hours
Not sure what really happened. If you want, you can send me your name and the name_firstupdate raw tx as PM or by encrypted mail and I can look into it.
The second tx you showed is just the name_new, so even if that has lots of confirmations, it does not mean you own the name.
