I was meant to receive a bitcoin payment of 0.0005 BTC, i had no access to my wallet at the moment to generate a new address so I used an address that I used to receive transaction months ago. The transaction was sent and was visible in the blockchain but did not get into my wallet. Below is the transaction detail

https://blockchain.info/tx/83ff7af47529089fca4f0d8b7b0ebabf69bb26d002f1533fdc5a9c9974944864

This means I cannot receive the bitcoin anymore so ibwant to know how long a bitcoin address is valid

Double check if the address is correct, if its is then the problem lies in your wallet's side. Mind telling us which wallet did you use?

And from what I know, Bitcoin addresses don't expire so rest assured that as long as you hold that address' private key you can access your funds.

P.S. Nothing on this post is related on the topics discussed here in Legal sub-board. This should be moved on Technical Support or your wallet's board (If any)

The address was generated from my blockchain wallet and that is why I am most concerned because its unusual and the first time it ever happened.

How do I move this to the right trend? Moderator, any assistance?

This is actually the first time I'm hearing this kind of problem in blockchain.info.

Anyways, Try importing your wallet in electrum. (* Please Note that, this requires you to have your recovery phrase. If you don't have it you can get it at Settings --> Security --> Wallet Recovery Phrase)

Standard Wallet --> I already have a seed --> Enter your recovery phrase --> Options --> tick the BIP39 Seed Box --> Leave the derivation unchanged --> Set a stong password

After that you should be able to see its balance at the bottom left and spend it or whatever but if its still shows 0, Check at the "Addresses tab" if the address which receives the N amount of bitcoin is really there.

P.S. There should be an option called "Move topic" at the bottom left. ~~Rather than technical suport, I think its more fitted at the Web Wallets sub-board~~. If you're on the right board the odds are you will get a better response.
