Title: BTC transfer is in blockchain.info but not Multibit
Post by: bitcoinrocks on May 19, 2014, 10:44:39 PM
I withdrew a few BTC from an exchange into my Multibit wallet and the transaction appears on blockchain.info with about 50 confirmations but not in my wallet.  I'd prefer not to publicize my BTC address here.  What could be causing this?

I'd request u to confirm the Tx confirmation & your address balance from...

i. helloblock.io
ii. blockexplorer.com
iii. blockr.io

All 3 of those along with blockchain.info show the final balance including the last deposit of ~2.5BTC but Multibit does not show that final transaction and does not include it in its final balance.

This is probably an issue with the nodes that multibit is connected to.

Try closing and restarting multibit. If that does not work then reset the blockchain (twice if the issue is not resolved the first time).

If this does not work you should export your keys and input them to a blockchain.info wallet then send a TX to a new address in a new wallet in multibit (if you wish to continue using multibit).

MultiBit uses SPV and doesn't need the whole blockchain.

MultiBit uses SPV and doesn't need the whole blockchain.

If MultiBit did not receive the TX that sent the coins to the address in question then it will not update.

When you reset the blockchain it is suppose to download all of the TX for all of the addresses in that wallet.
