Hi rocketman...thanks for the link.....
So I'm in the 9th hour and I get this lame msg from Blockchain that this issue is happening to a small % of Android users and there is NO time line for the Fix.....sorry they said.
this is the weirdest shit I've ever heard from supposedly a hi-tech company
A villa on the Indonesian island of Bali has sold for over $500,000 worth of bitcoin in what is the largest purchase ever made with cryptocurrency.
Sold through the bitcoin-only BitPremier luxury marketplace, the fully-managed property in the deLMango Villa Estate sold for in excess of $500,000 though the exact price and identity of the buyer involved remain unknown.
BitPremier was founded by Alan Silbert, who is the brother of Barry Silbert, a major bitcoin investor and founder of the Bitcoin Investment Trust. Barry Silbert is also the founder of SecondMarket and has invested in his brother's BitPremier venture.
Alan Silbert told CoinDesk that the purchaser of the property in Bali was an early bitcoin adopter from the US and that the sale represented "by far the largest" sale to date on the marketplace, which launched 10 months ago.
"This definitely validates the business model. It shows that bitcoin users want to buy things that are unique, and that are above and beyond t-shirts and electronics," Silbert said.
Previously, the purchase of a Tesla Model S for around $103,000 worth of bitcoin last December was seen to be the largest ever single purchase using only bitcoin.
Interestingly, at today's bitcoin price, the buyer only paid a little over $53,000 for the electric car, indicating just how volatile the cryptocurrency's price is.
There have been however bigger bitcoin transactions, which we known about thanks to the bitcoin blockchain. The largest known is a $147m transaction, which was carried out by bitcoin exchange Bitstamp last November, and remains the largest single movement of bitcoin ever.
We are taking our business in a different direction and are liquidating one of our Robocoin units that was very lightly used during its short period of operation in Boston. The asking price is 50% of original purchase price 12 months ago.
We also purchased a 0% lifetime license for this unit, which means that the operator will not need to split any revenue with Robocoin!
Lifetime License Purchased for $10k
You don't even need confirmations to re-send with blockchain.info. Post screenshot instead of swearing and going off and maybe someone can help you.
Also... what is the exact error message you are receiving? If you google what you said "blockchain no confirmed funds to spend" the only thing that comes up on all of the internet is your post. I doubt that the system would generate such a message and you are the only one in the history of the internet to have this issue. So please state the exact message you are getting.
Also for people telling him to add a miners fee. This transaction came from an ATM machine and they likely decide the miners fee, and this has nothing to do with it.
OP post your blockchain transaction ID, post the exact error message, and post a screenshot. My hunch is you are doing something wrong, but it's really not possible to help you when you don't give details and/or screenshots.
I'm not an idiot and I've worked in finance for 17 years for a major company, but this Bitcoin stuff is like a foreign language to me. I realize the US dollar is only backed by confidence in the government at this point, but what Bitcoin backed by? And if something goes wrong who do you complain to? I don't see it being regulated and I know a million people will defend it but I don't see it catching on with legitimate businesses.
Bitcoin in backed by those not having confidence in the government. As a financial professional, you should understand why that is. As a citizen, we are paying for the banking bailouts and getting nothing in return. Bitcoin has a level of security that traditional currency does not offer. The applications are endless with cryptocurrency and I'd argue safer. Of course, there will be volatility until it becomes common, but banks, financial institutions, and governments are extremely high on its benefits.

final update until resolution.....received a second email from Blockchain saying.....all unconfirmed transactions will be confirmed in 1 to 7 days or the bc will be returned to sender. Blockchain has Nothing to do with this, it's all up to the MINERS....LOL WTF....ITS like space currency, if you have a problem, it's up to the ALIENS to fix......and they have no customer service phone number.....lol

If it were up to the miner's, that would mean that you sent the BTC without a miner's fee. The BTC would be deducted from your account.
From your previous emails, that's not the case. You said you received the money, but couldn't send. As Pharaoh pointed out, when you receive money from blockchain.info, you can send it out immediately with 0 confirmations if a fee was attached to the money sent to you.
Then you said it was an Android problem which is why I stated to try and send from a laptop or desktop. Something isn't adding up here.

I bought a bc from the atm, transaction successfuly went into my blockchain wallet.....I immediately tried to send the bc to my book. Upon doing this I received a message......no confirmed funds to spend.......since then blockchain has SENT ME two emails......1 said, sorry this seems to be happening to a small % of Android users.....2nd said, all unconfirmed transactions will be confirmed in 1 to 7 days or refunded......the end, I did nothing wrong here.

They are returned within 7 days but that means the money was sent without a fee. The amount would be deducted from your account. When you sent, were the bitcoins deducted from your balance.
The other thing is that you said there were over 30 confirmations from the BTC you received from the ATM. Is that the case?
It says that the transaction is not found. Not sure of what's happening since you have confirmations.
This is of no help to you but if someone else ever sends BTC with no fee and it doesn't confirmed you can rebroadcast it by adding "?format=hex" to the end of the URL.

he's missing 4 characters from the string- that's why you don't see anything
