Post by: hanna_ball on January 05, 2017, 04:17:53 PM
Hi

Yesterday I tried to send a small amount from my multibit wallet to local Bitcoins 0.001 $1 it was only seen by one peer and never sent then I tryed to send $10 dollars had the same issue.  My Available spend appeared to be very small so I tryed the reset option after that my balance showed as around $50 but there was around 0.9 Bitcoin in the wallet can anyone help me with this problem.  I did save the private key to a pen drive previously.

Please help

Did you update to the latest version 0.5.19? There is an issue with older wallet versions and the way they sign transactions.

Create another backup of your keys, just in case, and update to 0.5.19. If the transactions are still in the wallet once you updated see if the "reset blockchain" (not exact wording, but similar) helps and create new transactions.

I had the same problem  :o
I solved it by importing the private key into the blockchain.info wallet. Good luck recovering your btc!
