Title: Sent small transaction, and took out large amount of my bitcoins. Post by: chennan on November 13, 2016, 08:37:24 PM So, I've been using multibit for a while now as a lightweight client and haven't ever had a problem until now. I tried to send a small transaction of 5mBTC and here are the following issues that happened:
1) It failed to send the 5 mBTC 2) It ended up taking out 136.15 BTC from my balance and is, I guess (?), sending it back to me. In the top I have "+Unconfirmed 136.15" so I guess that's what's going on, but I don't understand why. 3) It looks like there was a problem with the nodes it was connected too. I set my transaction fees to .15 rather than the usual .1 and this still happened. How can I fix this problem and (hopefully) get my bitcoin back? Do I just wait and let multibit do it's thing?

Is it showing the address you intended to send the btc to? Posting the transaction ID here can make things easier.

Post by: Jhanzo on November 13, 2016, 08:55:35 PM So you're sending 0.005 to 1CXth4bzYYwPbLCv3Dxpyj9HbNsekni1V9, is that right?
Got that address from the raw transaction and I can't find the transaction in any block explorer. I think it is indeed a network problem. Try verifying the network from Tools > Verify network and make sure that you have a green light at the bottom right of the client.

I'm still confused about what it's saying about "Waiting for feedback about this transaction from the bitcoin network".. how long will something like this take since the tx id isn't showing up in blockexplorer?

Usually it shows up in seconds for transaction with high enough fee, and yours have high enough fee. I'm not sure what went wrong but I pushed it to https://blockchain.info/pushtx manually, so it should show up in block explorers now. Edit: In case this happens again, just take the raw transaction and push it to network using the link above. The raw tx is that long thing above size that begins with 010000000.

Ok perfect, that's good to know. Just a fyi, the transaction actually ended up going through and I received my change back from the extra taken out. Thanks for the help Jhanzo!

Yeah, I saw the tx got a confirmation (pretty fast) after it got broadcasted > https://blockchain.info/tx/5953dd5f09df4c45e118dd5f76622944aefe70cd448db5b36ccace3ef2abf70d |
