Was sent Bitcoins to the following address - 1LeBCJPodhrhMaHJMH1AWEmaKUph55wDyA

https://blockchain.info/address/1LeBCJPodhrhMaHJMH1AWEmaKUph55wDyA - it shows up as confirmed in Blockchain (cb2d01831a12ec24f57e6c4c9db0325ca0063c45cc02be9a0640f02a17407dd5)

However, it's not showing up in Multibit, tried resync'ing, but it did not work. Any pointers?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Have a similar issue here. Although it might also be MY fault by not saving things or so. Just don't know how to recreate the transaction. Watching along with you on this thread ;-)

Got fed up. Just exported my private keys to blockchain, swept them, and then moved my funds to another wallet. Ugh, so freaking tedious.

I wish I had a better solution for you.

Well, I'm also considering moving away from MultiBit. But I'm wondering, are all my transactions I ever made, connected to my private keys? So if I import my private keys into a different app, I will still get my old transactions back?

I must admit I today discovered it was my own fault. I'm using TrueCrypt to store my wallet in. And that TrueCrypt container is placed in a dropbox-like synced folder. Somehow changes hadn't been correctly synced and I was able to restore a copy of the container from the date I bought the BTC. And there was my private key. I cried a little :-) But my 2 BTC are back.

Also what you might have encountered is caused by a change in the 'dust level' that Bitcoin Core now has.

The minimum Transaction output size you can specify in Bitcoin Core has reduced to 546 satoshi.
In MultiBit 0.5.17 this is the old value of 5432 satoshi.

Thus for outputs _between_ these values Bitcoin Core will think they are OK but MultiBit will think they are dust and not show them.

We've adjusted the 'dust level' figure in the next release to fix this. It's playing catch up to a certain extent.
