Thanks for the replies.

I guess it might be a glitch then.

I checked all the addresses on blockchain.info and one of the addresses that was hidden had 0 BTC under the field "Final Balance" and the other one that was hidden had 0.0004 BTC.

I can understand why the first one disappeared temporarily, but not why the second one disappeared.


I also experimented with a bit of mining a little while ago and I got quite a few Blue Screens of Death while I was doing it. I had to press the restart button on my computer while bitcoin-qt was still running. Could that have possibly messed up something?

There is no telling with the BSoD, anything can go wrong there.  I don't use M$ products on principle, so I can't help you there.

Something similar has happened to me once. I reloaded Bitcoin-Qt and all was well. I think it could just be a glitch?

Could be a bug, but Bitcoin-Qt is supposed to hide empty addresses unless there is some other reason that it should be showing it, such as it considers one to be your current receive address.  Are you seeing some disappear that should have funds?

Sometimes if I start up the bitcoin-qt program and click on the "Receive coins" button, then I can only see some of my addresses, but not all of them. Same thing happens with the address book. I added an address there yesterday and when I started the program today, there was nothing there.

If I restart the program, it displays all my addresses and my address book correctly.

This happens from time to time and I have no idea what is causing it.
