I've made dozens of transactions previously but the last one seems to have failed.
I sent 80 BTC to another person using my Blockchain android app. The person saw this incoming transaction in his wallet and his balance updated to 80 BTC. Everything was perfectly fine as usual.
In the evening he calls me and tells me his balance is 0. I check my transaction history and there is NO such transaction there. Moreover, 80 BTC are not in my account either.
Here's what I have:
1. An email confirming that the transaction was sent:
Like I said the transaction does NOT show up in my transaction history anymore and when I click on the link in my email it goes the main blockchain.info page with this message: Transaction not found.
Please let me know what I can do here to return my bitcoins. It is 8 thousand dollars we are talking about now. And as far as I understand it can happen to anyone.
I've been dealing with bitcoins for a year now but this situation made me back off with my optimism.
P.S. The guy I sent the bitcoins to also sent an email to the Blockchain.info support.
1. My friend asked me to back him up and sell this guy 80 BTC. he sends me those 80 BTC because I didn't have enough in my balance. 2. I meet the buyer and do the trade, I send him 80 BTC. 3. By nighttime, the transaction disappears from my wallet and the buyer's wallet. 4. Turns out the transaction my friend sent me was never processed. So he had those 80 BTC returned to his wallet. But for some reason they still showed up in my wallet during the trade, that's why I didn't hesitate. 5. My friend just sent me those 80 BTC again. Which I will froward to the buyer. All sorted out.
