ok guys this has never happened to me before and it would be great if someone could shed some light.

multibit displayed .2btc
this address: 1MdH5FeZa3oFcMLzbsGEkhmPjxjK1hsvGB

I then sent it to
this address: 1B3GN2WRQ6LBk9PcuZxoXevhty8sTgVrxn

the transaction was displayed on multibit with a triangle, when i clicked view on blockchain it would say transaction not found

since i have "reset the blockchain" on multibit and now the transaction has completely disappeared

now I am wondering what the hell is going on

for the record I own both addresses but am scratching my head here

is it possible that multibit displayed an amount that was a bug/false Huh? seriously wtf???

beware of impersonators
Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

It means that the transaction was likely rejected by the network.

It sounds like you are using MultiBit classic, an outdated wallet which no longer creates transactions that will always be relayed due to node policy changes. If that is the case, you should upgrade to a new wallet.

If you reset the chain your coins should be visible in the sending address again if the tx was not accepted into a block and/or evicted from mempool. @achow101 is right, multibit classic is dated, you are better off using a more modern version. Always ensure you have adequate tx fees included or else in today's imposed " fees economy" your tx will be extremely late or never make it.

As others already managed.. you probably need to update your wallet..
But dont be afraid.. your Coins are safe..
As long as you have access to the private keys.. you can't lose your Bitcoins Smiley
