Are you sure that is the correct tx? I cannot find anything about the transaction on the network.

2 months seems a little odd also since i believe that most transactions which don't receive a confirmation in about 1 month drop out of the network and back into the address the bitcoins were sent from.

Can you give us a little more info like,
What wallet client are you using?
Can you remember what fee you added and the size of the transaction?

You will have to contact support for the Bcoiner wallet you used to send the transaction since it looks like this transaction hasn't even been broadcast to the network yet, you won't receive any confirmations until they send the TX for you.

This is one reason why it is always best to store your bitcoins in an address that you hold the private keys for, remember if you don't control your private keys you don't control your bitcoins.

The default setting when installing a bitcoind node is 3 days... If a node with default configuration receives a transaction, it checks the scripts/sigs, it checks if all inputs were in the UTXO set, if there are no dust outputs and if the fee is over a certain treshold. If all conditions are met, the transaction is stored in the node's mempool.
If the size of the mempool grows over 150 Mb, or if a transation was received more than 72 hours ago, the transaction is dropped from the mempool (in case the size is over 150MB, i think it's the tx with the lowest fee/byte that gets dropped first).

I edited my mempool settings to 240 hours/ 600 Mb, so i would keep a lot more transactions in my mempool... This is handy when the mempool size is "exploding".

However, since the OP is complaining about a tx that was broadcasted +2 months ago, i can pretty much guarantee that it'll either be dropped by 99% of the nodes, or the sending wallet is rebroadcasting it.

You are completely correct in advising the OP to contact Bcoiner. Either they have to stop rebroadcasting the tx, or they have to "fix" their wallet's balance. It's well possible that Bcoiner doesn't broadcast the tx any longer, but they just have a record in their database for this transaction, so they just show "outdated" info to the OP.
