Hello All,
I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out. I have been using monero since last summer and never had any issues sending coins, however yesterday afternoon (about 24 hours ago) I sent XMR from one of my wallets to another one of my wallets with simplewallet synced via bitmonerod. The transaction said "money successfully sent", but the coins never showed up in my receiving address. Not only that, but 24 hours later I still have a difference between my locked and unlocked balances in the sending wallet. I sent 1200 coins with a mixin of 5. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before, or I am just screwed?
Not sure what to do here given I have over 1200 XMR in limbo right now that cannot be accessed or seen, so any help of any kind would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help ahead of time. Happy Holidays!

Perhaps a stupid question, but have you actually refreshed both of your wallets? If not, just type refresh in simplewallet (make sure bitmonerod is fully synced).
Also, what happened to your other account?
Not Stupid! The answer is yes, I was refreshing about every 2 minutes while synced with bitmonerod. From right when the coins where sent until right now some of the coins in wallet 1 are still locked from this tx, and in wallet 2 there is nothing. No coins have been received. BTW, I have sent between these two wallets multiple time, even recently, with no issues. I am positive the address was correct.
Any ideas?! I'm kind freaking out...
Cheers!
I have had this happen to me before. I was using a usb-ethernet dongle and I was refreshed/current with the network, but right before I sent the coins the dongle lost power or something and the transaction never actually went through, though it said it did on my simplewallet.
I only figured out what happened about a month later when it happened again and I watched the lights of the dongle go out and put 2 and 2 together.
Turns out the funds never left the wallet to begin with, it just looked like it did. Check to see if you have the same amount of monero as before you sent the transaction, maybe check your log or something, but i feel like this is the same thing that happened to me, hope so at least.
