Title: lost coins
Post by: cardboardbox on February 02, 2016, 03:05:49 PM
sent 0.1btc from my multibit wallet yesterday 1pm uk time (26 hours ago).

was seen by 1 peer and could not be found on blockchain.

reset blockchain and transactions. now the transaction has been deleted from my transaction list.

will the 0.1btc reappear in my account or the receiving address or has it disappeared?


any help would be much appreciated.

Basically, they'll reappear in your(sending) account.
P.S. -> How about sharing blockchain tx link?

Did you update to 0.5.19 (I assume you use classic because "reset blockchain and transactions")?

It isn't on there!

Meaning: The bitcoin has not been sent, it is still in the wallet you sent from. I'd suggest you update software (this is the main cause of problems like this) and try again.

Did you do a 'reset blockchain and transactions' after you upgrade to 0.5.19 ?
If not then try that.

Glad to hear!
We're all happy to help you (though I am not sure that I was of much use), I'd suggest you lock this thread now.

okay, so sorted the problem i had 3/3. just reset the blockchain and transactions and coins instantly reappeared!

however I've made another transaction today around 13:40GMT. Had 1 confirmation and could not be found on the block chain.

reset blockchain and transactions on my sending multi bit wallet (1Abp5QYRXj3VBe4UvMTwmqrV5V8srpzgKX) but now almost all my coins have disappeared from that wallet and not appearing in the receiving wallet.

please forgive me if I'm repeating myself or asking silly questions but any help would be much appreciated as usual.


thanks

Perhaps move your wallet to blockchain.info (https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_movingAWallet.html)
Also, we recommend users use MultiBit HD as it is newer and has better functionality. Only use MultiBit Classic if you really have to.
