The reset blockchain is a go-to button with Multibit. We've had probably over 100 support cases related to this issue on our service. From our point of view it almost seems Multibit is more often not seeing transactions, than seeing them. That's obviously biased, but this doesn't happen with any other wallet.

There are various reasons why transactions are not seen or propagated and of course it is a process of gradual improvement to eliminate these. We have various support items on multibit.org to help people when they encounter this problem.

"More often than not" is over 50% of all cases which is _slightly_ hyperbolic.
There were a third of a million downloads of MultiBit in November, basically being supported for free by Gary and I in our spare time.

Your support articles helping users when they encounter this issue are of course helpful and appreciated.

ok, panic over.

Thanks for all your help.

Turns out I had to reset the blockchain. Three times. Only then did it show up.

Issue resolved.

Thanks again.

Just curious, which version of Multibit are you using?

The latest. i think its 5.15?

0.5.15, yes.
I'm still with 0.5.14.
Three blockchain reset to solve the problem?! Jeez, I did hope it'd be better with never versions! Undecided

Yeah I thought that was a lot too. However, to be fair it didn`t take too long, and its the only issue I`ve ever had with it.

and now the transaction is gone and so is my .2 of btc Sad

As I said, coins cannot "disappear" unless you destroy/lose the private key OR spend the outputs. However, they cannot actually be destroyed, they are in a sense indestructible, they will be in the ledger regardless.

Thats just it, I used multibit as always, was completely synced with the network. it gives a tranaction id etc, but just doesn`t show up. in the mean time the btc has been debited from my account.

Blockchain shows "transaction not found"

Yets btc is gone from my wallet.

Coins do not simply vanish. Perhaps your client was not synced and did not broadcast it. Perhaps you sent them from a service that experienced technical difficulties and did not process your withdrawal request.

I transferred .2 btc from one of my accounts to another at 7.46 am and as yet it hasn`t even been seen by the blockchain. Any idea?
