I need to move some quickly

Then you should not have chosen a Bitcoin Core wallet. Bitcoin Core requires substantial time to fully synchronize with the network if you are starting it up for the first time.

If you were in a hurry, you would have been better off installing a lightweight wallet such as Electrum.

Unfortunately, since you already sent the bitcoins to Bitcoin Core, the easiest thing to do now would be to leave it running and wait for it to finish synchronizing. As achow101 mentioned, you might want to turn on pruning if you don't have enough available disk space.

Just writing some code

Bitcoin Core is probably not synced yet so you do not see the transaction in your wallet. You will not see it until Bitcoin Core has fully synced the blockchain.

If you are worried about the disk space usage, you can run Bitcoin Core in pruned mode. Go to Settings > Options and click the button for Open Configuration File. Add the following line to the file and save it:

Code:

prune=550

Then restart Bitcoin Core. This will prune the blockchain so it will only use a few GB at most, not 150 GB. Note that you will still need to wait for it to sync the blockchain. It will still consume >150 GB of network data, just that the vast majority of that data will be validated and then thrown away once Bitcoin Core is done with it. Syncing will still take a long time.

You don't need 150GB, it is possible to run it in pruned mode which will only need a few gigabytes of space

Try to lookup for your receiving address in blockchain.info, If you could see a transaction there then your funds are safe otherwise there might be a chance that you sent them to the wrong address. I suspect that your wallet is not synced with the network yet (If you could see a green ProgressBar in the bottom). If that's the case then they should up once that's finished.

Hi. I have never used a wallet before but I need to move some quickky so I opened a bitcoin cire wallet. So to move my bit coins I clicked RECEIVE and the request payment. I got the long number and tried to send my bit coins to it. They dissappeared out of my buying account but 10hrs later still not in my wallet. What is happening? Did I do it wrong?
