Okey dokey. I was supposed to recieve payment for multiple transactions 3 hours ago. My ledger wallet didn't pick anything up, so I contacted the sender. He claimed he sent all of the txes, and gave me their hashes. So I put them in on my usual blockchain explorer (blockr.io) and found it to say,

This transaction is unknown.

You might have used wrong transaction hash, or the transaction you're looking for hasn't yet propagated through the network. It can take a while for transactions to get to blockchain nodes.

Note, when transaction is first seen it can be just an unconfirmed transaction. Those transactions are not to be trusted yet, they are not part of the blockchain.
For more info check this (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Confirmation) page.

If you're sure you have the right transaction hash, you might want to refresh the page.
Er... I was starting to get a little freaked out now.

But...

No worries! Just blockr doing a coinbase. (My ledger is set to use blockr, too :)) Hah!

P.S. I found out when this  (http://archive.is/YEDfL)page was last archived - 2 Years ago! Just as the btc price was dropping. Ah, the memories of $1.2k :(

Can you provide the transactions ids? Could be many reasons for this, maybe the transaction was never created or it didn't propagate or it got dropped due to low fee or whatever, hard to say without knowing the ids, check on other block explorers and contact the sender again and explain that you can't find the transaction on the network.

No, no no. None of that. It was just blockr.io had some problems connecting to the blockchain, maybe their node hadn't updated or whatever. Their "most recent" block was 9 hours before I took the screenshot. Blockchain showed me my transaction just fine. Was just taking a swing at blockr and coinbase, if you know what i'm getting at.
