So I have a bitcoin wallet which says it is receiving a transaction worth 0.2 btc. The wallet balance is currently 0.002 btc but says + 0.2 btc unconfirmed.
I do not know much about this technically but I have read that unconfirmed transactions can be sped up for a fee using websites such as viaBTC.
I inputted the transaction ID into viaBTC and it said the transaction was already confirmed which confused me. Following this I checked the transaction on blockchain and it claims the transaction was confirmed but is unspent and has no children. I would very much like to be able to use this bitcoin because now it is worth a fair bit of money but I dont know how to because viaBTC and similar websites claim it is already confirmed. Despite this my wallet still says it is unconfirmed...

Here is the blockchain link:
https://blockchain.info/tx/660714b8fa40b0b269c6e5638b272613675d301c342b9fa7d7277b64369e42fd

Under 'Summary' is the sub-heading 'Visualize' which has the link to 'view tree chart'. On this chart my transaction of 0.2btc is at the bottom and is shown to be 'Output is unspent and has no children'

Can someone please give me some advice on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Your wallet is out of sync that is why it is showing the .2btc still unconfirmed. If you checked the block explorer and you see it is confirmed then obviously it is confirmed. Let your wallet sync first and you will see the .2btc will be added to your balance

It's a wallet problem. Which wallet are you using?

Can you confirm if your wallet matches the latest blocks (Height)? https://btc.com/block

The wallet is a MultiBit wallet, created on the 14th of April 2017. How do I check the height of the block?
