Title: Unspent transaction
Post by: Robbo54 on November 06, 2018, 07:08:03 AM
Hi all i am a newbie here I have sent a payment to an address that I am a member at using the address that was generated by the site . It shows it as sent and confirmed but it is showing unspent and on the tree chart   "Output is unspent and has no children"

If someone could assist with knowledge i would be greatfull

Cheers Robbo

The word "Unspent" often confuses people. It's used by Blockchain.info (or Blockchain.com now) and means the funds are still in that address. It's completely normal.

Think of it this way: You give me $10, and I put it in my pocket. That means you spent it, but I haven't spent it yet, so it's unspent in my pocket.

Thanks for the reply so does that mean it has arrived and I am now waiting on the receiver to do something at their end?

Yes. It has arrived, and it's now up to the receiver to hold up their end up the deal.
