Title: Transaction confirmed but UNSPENT, How to recover
Post by: sayondas on December 16, 2017, 09:01:25 PM
Hi,

Im a total noob in this space. DO not know anything about coding.

I recently transferred 0.00127889 BTC ON 08-12-2017 from unocoin wallet (Indian wallet for blockchain) to my blockchain wallet. On my unocoin wallet it is showing the transaction is completed. I have more than 1000 confirmation on blockchain.info. Transaction : https://blockchain.info/tx/b4293816dfff94a0e981fe6ffefcbdb24f9778bce2222a6414f7b3137ddc119a

After examining the transaction in block explorer, I can see that the amount is 'UNSPENT'.
I have googled about it but found no concrete solution whatsoever. But I think there must be some solutions

Can you guide me about how can I recover that 'UNSPENT' amount and send it to MY BLOCKCHAIN wallet ?
I had double checked my receiving address / Blockchain address before sending the BTCs (which keeps on changing). Why is it stuck in the blockchain as 'UNSPENT' ???

Why the NEFT reference number is not accepted in the Finish trade / awaiting reference number field inside BLOCKCHAIN wallet?

IS THERE ANY DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE ? I tried this approach (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=573342.0), but as Im not a tech guy, cannot understand 90% of it.

Any form of help will be highly appreciated

You have simply misunderstood what "UNSPENT" means. All this means is that the funds sent to an address have not been used yet (ie. are "unspent")... it does NOT mean that they haven't arrived.

In Bitcoin, if your transaction has confirmations, then the funds sent to an address have definitely arrived. If they have not been used yet, they are "unspent", if you then send them to someone else, it will become "spent".

Looking at the transaction you linked, we can see that it has currently has "1765 Confirmations"... So the "0.00127889 BTC" you sent to "15TfudZ9kQLKFZkGt2xadUDK6yovNzWFNm" has DEFINITELY arrived... and because it is UNSPENT... it is definitely, 100% still on that address.

If it is NOT showing in your blockchain wallet, then either you have sent it to the wrong address (double check that is indeed your correct receive address)... or b.info wallet is not working correctly.

To check your addresses in b.info wallet:

Settings -> Addresses

Then you will need to click the "manage" button on the right hand side for the wallet you think the address is in. NOTE: You may also need to click "show" for your "used addresses" at the bottom right.
