Oops, have found reset and sent instructions to granddaughter, will report on result.
Thank you Shorena, your reply came in while I am typing this.
I sent all my children and grandchildren 1 BTC for Christmas, Dec 2014. Heady days, worth $1000 Mt. Gox said! Offering to buy it back from all of them now for $300. I think Bitcoin has a way to go before muggles can easily trade and safely store it.
Topic: Triangle. Where are my bitcoins/ (Read 858 times)
My granddaughter is trying to send me 1 BTC with multibit, her program shows it is sent but blockchain.info shows it still there. She thinks she may have been offline when she sent it.

When you do a reset blockchain and transactions it resyncs your wallet to what is on the blockchain.
It is what is on the blockchain that is definitive."
How exactly do you do a reset?

How exactly do you do a reset?
Multibit -> Tools (menu bar at the top) -> Reset blockchain and transactions -> new tab opens -> click Reset blockchain and transactions - let it sync
Multibit HD -> Manage wallet -> Repair wallet -> Next -> let it sync

Congrats... 5 BTC would have been a hell of a loss lol
Thanks for the input guys..
I think I understand what went wrong.
I think the balance of my Multibit was not correct when I tried to send 5BTC to another address..
My balance appeared to be 5.65 before transaction, but in reality is was 3.43 . So the transaction got rejected because I tried sending BTC that didn't exist.
I have multiple wallets with varying amounts of bitcoin, so it can get a little confusing. Luckily I keep a log in Excel for all my transactions and when I carefully consulted it, it seemed the 5.65 couldn't have been right (although the wallet said 'online').
So they aren't gone luckily!

can you provide a txid? or wallet address you attempted to send to/from?
Hi,
Yersterday I tried sending a 5btc transaction, but for some reason I got a triangle and it got never sent.
Problem is my bitcoins seem to be gone??
I resetted the blockchain and transactions three times already, but the transaction line with the triangle disappeared, as well as my bitcoins!
How can I get them back and where are they?
