Last night I bought a bit of coin, and shortly afterward transferred a bit over to my AB market wallet. I'm using the MultiBit client as a go-between. The transfer into my middleman wallet went fine, but the outgoing transaction to AB came up as "pending/unconfirmed". After a few hours, it still sat there, with a white square for the status instead of a check. Not showing up on blockchain. I decided to sleep on it and see if it would work itself out.
Next day, still there. I exported my wallet and then did a reset blockchain and transactions. Well, it reset everything...and the last, problematic transaction is gone...along with the Bitcoin.
So, I attempted a transaction to an AB wallet, which changes every time you deposit. Now I'm unsure if I should even try depositing to this wallet anymore, considering I apparently just lost a couple hundred bucks because...well, I have no clue. Anyone got any advice?
Update: well, when it was all said and done, I could not get a single person on a single website to understand what actually happened. I'll simply put it this way: beware transferring over wireless connections. My local wallet recorded a transaction that apparently was never sent to the network. My coin left my local wallet, but ceased to exist anywhere else. I'm not sure if my connection dropped, if the client bugged out, or what the hell happened, but regardless of what anyone says, yes, your coin can simply be lost.
Alphabay is the devil.
