thank you jan!

...and please don't get hacked in the next time....
it seems to a virus or something like this travels around

Cheesy

The beauty of this split wallet method is that even if the main BitcoinSpinner server is successfully hacked, this does not expose the users to theft. This is what makes BitcoinSpinner different and why I use it so much these days. Well done, Jan; well done, indeed.

Hi, I have an unconfirmed tx in bitcoin spinner... it hasn't sent my bitcoins to the address and isn't appearing in the block chain :S

The server had some problems as it is low on memory. Everything is working now, but I'll have to increase memory soon.

We need to talk Wink

Jan, its really important you get Spinner passworded. its necessary in general and also would give you a leg up on Bitcoin Wallet.

Yes, you are right. It is on my list.

BitcoinSpinner server side is currently down while I increase the memory of the server.

Done

Yes, SIPA is the format. However you cannot use the backup QR code when importing. You have to use the one from Settings-> Advanced -> Export.
I am travelling right now, so I have to keep this brief.

I tried doing that and it didn't work. I'll try again and report back.

Jan, are BitcoinSpinner private keys still in SIPA format? It seemed odd that neither Blockchain nor Strongcoin recognized it.

Hmm. Well, I'm stumped. Sounds like the latest update may have a bug or two, in which case you should probably wait on Jan. He might want your phone model, OS version, and version of BitcoinSpinner too for good measure.

Last attempt: try going to Blockexplorer and looking for your first BitcoinSpinner address, and see what happened to your coins after they were initially sent to the address. If they didn't move from that address at all, it sounds like they may be lost for good. OTOH, maybe, just maybe the address produced was invalid, and the original coins never left your desktop client (if Blockexplorer reports your address as never having been seen, that's a good sign.)

I have been using bitcoin spinner for a while, there is no problem with the address, the bitcoins are still there and havent moved. Hopefully it's my phone that is messing around. I'll wait for Jan to get back to me (i've emailed him). Cheers for your help so far

Just to be sure, you used BitcoinSpinner's "Advanced" settings option and used "Export Private Key," right? That's not the same code as the wallet backup.

I wasn't, but I just tried that and got an error message too : " Error importing private key: Unknown Key Format " tried importing to strongcoin and got a similar message : " Error: Not a valid Private Key "

You can check all pending/unconfirmed bitcoin transactions at bitcoincharts.com. Search for your address there and make sure the transaction was sent. If it's neither there nor in the blockchain, then there may be a problem.

I can't find it anywhere.

I have uninstalled bitcoin spinner and restored my wallet using the QR code backup and now the client says balance "unknown" and coins on their way to you "unknown" Sad

That's sounds pretty odd.

Well, if you're willing to post enough personal info about the transaction (or send it to Jan) your coins can be tracked, which will provide clues as to what happened. Not that that would recover your coins if they were sent to the wrong address....

At the very least, the address the coins were sent from, and where they were sent to, would probably be needed.

Alternatively, have you tried copying the private key and importing it into another client?
