First off, I am
now aware that Multibit HD has been deprecated and no longer being supported. Virtually all of my BTC are in an on-line wallet, but I did this transaction before I knew that.
I sent off my payment and it appears from all that I can see that the transaction has gone through and is confirmed on 1388 blocks.
After seeing that my order was still marked unpaid, I contacted the vendor who said "payment was sent but rejected because I have just been informed that due to bitcoin new regulations they are not allowing payments under $100.00 usd".
I have asked them to return the BTC to me, but have not heard back from them yet.
My questions are:
Are there
really bitcoin regulations (in general) that mandate a minimum transaction amt? I guess that a specific BTC exchange might have rules.
If the the transaction was "rejected", by whom?
What has happened to my money? Does the vendor I transacted with have it? Will it automagically be returned to me?
It wasn't a lot in the grand scheme of things (0.00570000BTC ~ 85USD), but I can ill afford to have it simply vanish.
If I don't hear anything back from my vendor what are my next steps (if any)?
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
