So I tried sending coins from my MB wallet to another address and the coins disappeared. Blockchain says i should still have 0.4... btc left but my wallet says my balance is zero and the coins never showed in the destination wallet. any help would be appreciated.
Looks like either:
MultiBit glitched itself and didn't broadcast the transaction or Blockchain.info merely excluded it because of their rules and the transaction is unconfirmed.
Try going to Manage wallet>Repair wallet. This should reload the blockchain.
