Bitoin payment sent and confirmed, but not received I have sent and received a number of payments via the request function without problem. However, when I sent two payments directly from one bitcoin wallet address to another (from a business account to a personal account, public addresses), they are yet to arrive at the target! Is there an extra step I need to complete? I can't see that there is.
Thank you

UPDATE: Payment/transaction didn't disappear. After looking into this it turns out the PASTED VALUE of e9104412aac5327e5eaad31485335d822d5e7a22f00c370d8f055286ed02‌​e187 has invisible ASCII characters in here. Looks like a color code or some conversion of the Byte array. The transaction IS valid, but copy/pasting from the question in this topic will result in invisible ASCII. 

Example:


Bad: e9104412aac5327e5eaad31485335d822d5e7a22f00c370d8f055286ed02‌​e187
Clean: e9104412aac5327e5eaad31485335d822d5e7a22f00c370d8f055286ed02e187


They look the same, but they are not the same. You can test this by putting your cursor just after the final 'e' (4th to last character in string) then hitting the left arrow (be sure to use the "bad" or original example above). You have to hit the left arrow twice between the '2' and 'e'. The cursor is navigating the invisible character.

Here is a C# example of how to find this:

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var x = Encoding.Default.GetBytes("e9104412aac5327e5eaad31485335d822d5e7a22f00c370d8f055286ed02‌​e187");

            foreach (byte item in x)
            {
                Console.Write(item);
            }

            var a = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(x);
            var b = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(x);

            Console.WriteLine(a);
            Console.WriteLine(b);
        }


The result is:

It LOOKS like somehow the transaction ID is messed up. It's a transaction on the blockchain but at the same time it looks abnormal. All of these show and contain the transaction:

However, they "search" function in 2 of them fails to see it as a valid transaction (reported it to both). Was able to get to them by going to the wallet itself and finding the transaction. So while it is being consumed by looking at a raw block, the transaction ID itself is jacked up in some way. 

This MAY mean, that your wallet program is also having a hard time seeing that transaction (even though it submitted the transaction to whatever node generated that transaction ID). It does exist and an expert should be able to form and submit a valid transaction to the blockchain using the UTXO's from it. 

Without knowing more like what wallet is being used, the functionality of that wallet, in a general sense i would import that address into a more flexible more advanced wallet to see if it picks up the transaction. If it does, spend the UTXO's and stop using whatever wallet resulted in the malformed transaction ID. The node would have provided the transaction ID when it was submitted. So this is dependent on the wallet setup and what node setup the wallet used to cut out the "messed up" aspect.

Beyond that an expert in recovering this type of thing (assuming you still have ownership of it) should have no problem if you have access to the wallet and are willing to provide the information.

Note: This is not an endorsement of any particular recovery service (i listed none) or action you should or should not take. I've listed here some possible options to recover the coins from a wallet program that fails to see a particular transaction.
