I'm rebooting my core wallet atm...

Sob story: Doing this brings back the sad memory of those 4 BTC that were stolen from it. Funny thing is that they were donated to Ross Ulbricht's defense fund well before his trial. Most likely my computer was infected for a good while before my coins went missing too.

No I dont escrow anymore.
I find it very interesting that it was not showing and now shows again.  Does blockchain wallets resend it?  Or was it a fluke they were not showing.

Anyone can rebroadcast it. Just go to the transaction page on bc.i and add ?format=hex at the end of the URL.

This will give you the raw transaction, e.g. for the above[1] bc.i returns

Code:
01000000040fbffa36f49c375532b34777b3f725e80da31a8edaa0e8d18bd20d21d358b614010000008a473044022065f8770dffb0976340324d9a1e1a3e52210eac8ee011b55579dc6de3ff3b54750220164cb64dd18f62b60529dcf6888429d7d2d37d088e01565aba4c40f5a1dd059f014104e14fae91e03dae05bd28e38c7c4196b449191565c0fb4a07ea2b1bc4074a34a6912e5b90c56a3b63d5b6967e453c6c2cc5f489ef7ba3b47a7ce34de75cd89abbfffffffffb45ed2ae3ebd1cfb07bad7b9c680d75e606a360388b9de683d6f76bd2b21276000000008a473044022015a77742f593a24aeeb8da8780f300c2f2636ff182cfe4e07054deb4144712a1022027a42b3065e64e2c8677206e8e3de1115b695606c823c22895e9e496bacbe5fb014104e14fae91e03dae05bd28e38c7c4196b449191565c0fb4a07ea2b1bc4074a34a6912e5b90c56a3b63d5b6967e453c6c2cc5f489ef7ba3b47a7ce34de75cd89abbffffffff2d81f6dce6614e5f8fb80af317e10801fc42dafb451c27693bc90a4206c61aca010000008b483045022100fc5d2ea7d93172cde18a7d40353ec6f9ad2864c7ae63a1c1939d7cf489c9dd4c02200e073c8bb0b1414a2088bd53462272adc5887ecb8d0cc75d05d26803b6be0507014104e14fae91e03dae05bd28e38c7c4196b449191565c0fb4a07ea2b1bc4074a34a6912e5b90c56a3b63d5b6967e453c6c2cc5f489ef7ba3b47a7ce34de75cd89abbffffffff49bd90079a063d2930425172873338a4037ac56452dad7d514ae0c12e00347d8010000008a47304402206f99d1a600ffc1233a474e52e9b387f71870bcf462dafd8dddf1bcc7107a54be022036b54251dff3211c7e25d711f1c86a5141c7f6769acaeccbd9cf38990750439f014104e14fae91e03dae05bd28e38c7c4196b449191565c0fb4a07ea2b1bc4074a34a6912e5b90c56a3b63d5b6967e453c6c2cc5f489ef7ba3b47a7ce34de75cd89abbffffffff0240420f00000000001976a91486206e3a6dd849cb228f049de6b20cfff67d2f8c88ac7b432100000000001976a914d53d404d5901acacfdd4a616aba52f439eb8f49c88ac00000000

Anyone running a full node can rebroadcast this transaction with

Code:
sendrawtransaction 

There are also several services, among them bc.i[2] that allow you to rebroadcast it.

-snip-
That's why I think someone is messing around with OP's transactions.

Depending on the person that should have received those coins, it might be OP trying to mess with the coins that belong to someone else.

I don't use bc.i wallet service, but from what I heard and read, it doesn't rebroadcast unconfirmed transactions.

On the other hand, every person can rebroadcast a transaction if they have the raw hex transaction on pages like https://blockchain.info/pushtx and https://coinb.in/#broadcast. That's why I think someone is messing around with OP's transactions.

The transaction has reappeared on bc.i now. The unconfirmed transaction ec135cdba70adc828881f46c891b84a389fd08f35dd990c7db5506843490bc67 was first relayed 3 weeks ago on Mar 2, it should have been dropped long ago. It seems to me that someone has been messing around and rebroadcasting the transaction again and again.

So I think OP shouldn't wait anymore but should create a double spend transaction.

Agreed, OP follow these steps:

If you have specific questions feel free to ask here. Do not send any private keys to anybody to seek help.

The transactions are showing not found.  What is current transaction?

This should be good news for OP. Did you do anything worhiper? Did you follow the steps from the linked post?
It seems the TX was deleted. Now just resend it with a proper fee.


That is what I'm hoping to.  After a week I would think it would. 

If not he can always do a double spend to fix this and include fee.

Blockhain.onfo didn't include a fee because the "frugal" option was on. What steps should I follow to do what you said with blockchain.info?

Also thanks for the advice.

As far as I know blockchain deletes the TX if it isn't included in a block in a while. How long has it been?
You could try this but only after waiting long enough:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guidedouble-spending-an-unconfirmed-transaction-made-with-a-third-party-client-231309


It has been about a week or so. Is it worth to follow steps on the thread you posted or should I wait more?

Also, wouldn't the transaction been proccessed if it wasn't for blockchain.info re-broadcasting it every day?

This transaction is causing your problem:

https://blockchain.info/tx/ec135cdba70adc828881f46c891b84a389fd08f35dd990c7db5506843490bc67

It didn't include a fee, so it hasn't confirmed yet.

The transaction you are asking about is spending output from that earlier unconfirmed transaction (actually, an output from and output from an output from that transaction).

None of the transactions in the chain will confirm until the earlier one confirms.

I've been waiting for some days for it to verify, every day the date on it changes too. This is really weird...

Your TX can't be confirmed until this one is confirmed first, which doesn't have any fees:
https://blockchain.info/tx/93ef6652ac94b2da1a497233985e497ce89648719800d648c5b41d1855b9e592

Where did you send it from? If it keeps changing most probably your wallet keeps re-broadcasting it.
You should delete the TX, wait a few days and then re-broadcast it with a proper fee.
