Title: Did I just send 0.2 BTC into the void? UpHold Concern...
Post by: CriminologyProf on March 04, 2017, 03:13:14 AM
So I purchased 0.2 BTC from UpHold and just sent the balance to my Coinbase wallet. However, it's been 15 minutes and it isn't even showing up as pending on Coinbase. When I look on UpHold, it shows that the transaction is completed and when I click "see it on the block chain" it says the amount was 0.44 BTC (which is more than I even had to begin with) and that it's been confirmed 7 times. Then, when I check my Coinbase address on blockchain.info it says that my wallet is empty and has zero transactions even though it has had BTC in it for a while now and has been used for several transactions over the past few weeks.

At what point should I be worried?

No point in worrying now; what's done is done.  Do you have a txid for us?

Can you post transaction ID?

From what you said it appears that both services are kind faulty here and this might be the problem.
There is also a possibility that you missed something, mistyped address or made an error somewhere while sending coins.

If your UpHold balance on your TXID differs greatly from what you send then you should ask their support.

You are sure that Coinbase's address you are are checking is the right address?
Because it is impossible to fake address history when every data is stored in the blockchain.
So even if this address is empty now, you should be able to see every activity.

edit:  you should see it in your account now I believe, depending on coinbase.  but 4 confirmations for that tx

No, after fees my amount was about 0.185 BTC.

Which looks like one of the outputs:

--->

1A5BWtGqCYDP25h44ZCv2SjLpPMgb5FUPP - 0.1895 BTC
17k6J2jMg1fzo9oouk9uRwudX5shPpKTWE - 0.24571422 BTC
5 Confirmations

You need to realise that bitcoin has to use WHOLE inputs for a transaction... so that 0.435 that got sent... wasn't what you were going to get... it was just the input used. It gets split into two chunks, the chunk you get... and the remainder which then goes back into an UpHold "change" address.

Likewise, when you go to spend some of that 0.1895... you need to use the whole 0.1895 as an input... but if you're only wanting to send 0.1... you'll get 0.0895 back.

I understand that, I'm just concerned that none of it has shown up anywhere yet. Not even as pending.

Are you certain the 1A5BW... key is exactly what you have as your Coinbase account public key?

as long as 1A5BWtGqCYDP25h44ZCv2SjLpPMgb5FUPP is the address for coinbase. your fine.

it may be that coinbase only does a check once every hour to reduce its bandwidth usage. the funds are where it suppose to be. but coinbase just needs to update its separate database (your coinbase app account balance) once they have checked.

worse cas if confirms get into double digits.. file a support ticket with coinbase. paste them The block chain transaction ID  6da5499fc14a67c2f377a23906e30a85b4a3858a489e3592fa0d60d8d2bc5b95

and kindly ask them to update your balance
