Title: 51 Confirmations and counting Post by: latravelinman on July 20, 2014, 03:01:35 PM Hello group,
+8 hours ago I paid for my bill at an Internet cafe. They and I were pleased. Until it was closing time two hour later and the transaction had not been confirmed. At the time of this writing it's up to 51 confirmations. I checked the address countless times. The cafe checked the address. Unless spaces can make it into an address by accident, the address appears correct. Sender and receiver both use blockchain.info for wallets. Is this money lost or will it eventually confirm? https://blockchain.info/address/19R5U2aR3f5u5HZ6HEA6FNgWQfzD7nRS9j Looking forward to your thoughts.

I think the internet cafe shop employees may have been confused as to what to look for. Title: Re: 51 Confirmations and counting Post by: grue on July 20, 2014, 04:15:28 PM it's a glitch with blockchain.info see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=697239.msg7879759#msg7879759
Title: Re: 51 Confirmations and counting Post by: rarkenin on July 20, 2014, 07:17:01 PM Blockchain.info is known to malfunction when blocks are orphaned. They can verify using a real wallet if they have access to one (although that depends on the cafe's policy), or using an alternative block explorer.
