I swapped BTC between wallets, and my money has gone missing ! (Blockchain.info)

[AbdullahEGY]

So here's what happened, I sent ~20$ to swap between my wallet, and after +48 hrs of the transaction being unconfirmed ..
The transaction is not showing up anymore in my transactions tab (I'm using blockchain)
The money now is neither in my first wallet address nor the second one

Here's the txid : https://blockchain.info/tx/6afd6868624a588922be5b3f747430293074b074b582f68ffe32730b85d07e8c
And the message says

Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: Transaction was previously accepted but has been pruned from our database.

I've already google'ed that, but I cannot really understand what's going on (I'm kinda noob with BTC )
So if someone can help me and tell me what should I do ? or is the money gone forever ?

PS : I know that it had no fees included(my fault for trying that out ), which makes sense that it takes a long time to get confirmed, but having no fees doesn't mean that it gets canceled at all

Blockchain.info decided to remove your transaction from their databases because they did not think that it would become confirmed. Since it had 0 fee, the transaction is not very likely to confirm and it would have been dropped from the mempool of many nodes or never had been accepted in the first place due to the mintxrelayfee defaulted to 0.00005. Having no fees essentially cancels the transaction as it is now easier and possible to execute a double spend.

Dang
So that means that the money is actually lost ? I mean shouldn't it at least be returned back to the original sender (which was me too lol)

blockr.io still listed the tx

it's not lost. the bitcoin will either be returned to your wallet or get confirmed.

So that means there's still hope ?

I mean if it is removed from there too, where does the money go ? I mean does it just disappear ?

And last thing, if it's confirmed on btc.blockr.io, does that mean I still get my money ?

** Please forgive my "noobness" **

No, it is not lost. You should still be able spend that Bitcoin again since blockchain.info dropped the transaction. It is just a matter of whether other nodes will accept that transaction.

Ah I guess I understand now.

Thank you guys so much

sending a transaction with no fees nowadays is so difficult to get confirmed. always make sure you pay a proper fees before sending any tx
