I was sent .75 from a friend, and then it disappeared, but whats stranger is that the entire transaction is gone from both of our histories. It was done blockchain to blockchain so maybe he canceled it and is lying. I don't know if that is possible. But when I told him he sent me .4 right away, so it seems a little guilty tbh. (he owes me like 5k cash)

I really want to get to the bottom of this, so I dont know what to do? Its not the money, I want to know what happened. There is no transaction in my account nor on the screen shot he sent me.

I asked for my entire account records from blockchain, but haven't heard back.

what do you mean with dissapear?are you make some transaction and then that transaction gone without complete?
i have read some problem about blockchain wallet,but i never feel and never hear about this before,weird. i think its just system failure.

I mean that I saw it in my account balance, and then when I checked again it was gone. I didnt look at any of the transaction chain stuff, or the confirmation. They probably sent it back to him, thanks for the help.

Its also possible that neither of you has any coins now. Think of the following scenario:

Eve sends 0.75 BTC to your friend. She pays a low fee (or even no fee at all). Your friend had no bitcoin before, so when sending 0.75 to you, the coins from Eve are used. Your friend pays a nice normal fee. You see the coins appear in your wallet and think everything is fine. A few days later blockchain.info drops the transaction created by Eve because there is next to no chance it will ever get confirmed with such a low (or none) fee. This in turn makes the TX from your friend to you invalid, because it uses coins that no longer exist for the node. *poff* coins gone. The lesson to learn here is, coins that are not confirmed still belong to the sender. These chains can grow long, in my example (I have no idea if it happened like this) the coins belonged to Eve the whole time.

Wow....I never thought of it that far out. Have you confirmed that scenario? That is a strange situation indeed. And, if a transaction can be twice removed, then what's to stop it from being any number of places removed? I can see it vanishing from hundreds of wallets at once now! Hmmm. How can we test that particular case? Got me thinking now! Thanks!
