Hey.
Im from Denmark, so sorry if my english is not that god:)
I have the same problem, I use mac to and i god 1-2 connections on my Bitcoin client.
blocks have not moved since I created the account for nearly 4 weeks ago.
I have sent several bitcoins from my mt Gox account for this bitcoin client and also received several bitcoins from friends, but they do not arrive ... it is nearing 2 weeks since I sent bitcoins from my mt Gox account to this address.1DLwZJPKdgmNWyyD7erwQ85KKt85zqDTcc�
The transaction is in block 130453 but my client is at 18433 and not moved.
I have also tried several times to make a Rescan through Terminal.
bitcoin my client is located here: /Users/sergioberlusconi/Applications/bitcoin-v0.3.23/
how would this code look to my
code]Bitcoin.app/contents/macos/bitcoin -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=64.22.103.150 -addnode=173.242.112.53 -addnode=178.79.147.99 -addnode=184.106.111.41 -addnode=91.85.220.84 -addnode=173.224.125.222 -addnode=86.5.50.90[/code]
Some suggestions
??this sounds like some error in your block chain data. i would delete all files in your data directory EXCEPT wallet.dat and let the program redownload everything. it should work after that.
and how do I do it, is not so good at computers:)
close client.
go into: /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/
delete everything in there but not wallet.dat
reopen client and let block chain download. will take an hour or so. should start to get 8 connections in first few minutes.
I just use the code in the terminal
/Users/sergioberlusconi/Applications/bitcoin-v0.3.23/Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS/bitcoin -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=64.22.103.150 -addnode=173.242.112.53 -addnode=178.79.147.99 -addnode=184.106.111.41 -addnode=91.85.220.84 -addnode=173.224.125.222 -addnode=86.5.50.90
and now i have
8 connections
block nr. 25003 and stil going op, so do i still have to do the "reopen client and let block chain download" ore just wate and see???
when i go to /Users/sergioberlusconi/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ its af blank map??

cypherdoc,
Open Terminal and type:
Once new window opens, copy and paste the following:
then press ctrl+x and when prompted if you want to save choose yes
Next:
Then close the terminal. Open it again and type
This is not the most elegant way to achieve what you trying to do, but I hope this will serve as a temporary measure. Someone more knowledgeable in OS X should be along soon. There should be a way to specify switches when you click on the Bitcoin icon in dock or start it from Applications.
Let me know how it goes
Open Terminal and type:
Code:
cd /bin/
Code:
sudo nano mybtc
Once new window opens, copy and paste the following:
Code:
cd /Applications/

Ok, will do. Just sent you the BTC. Thanks again for all your help. I wrote up a step-by-step guide that will hopefully help people with the same problem in the future: http://www.bitcoinfrenzy.com/2011/05/bitcoin-help-for-mac-users.html.
"(11) Once your blocks are downloaded and connections established, you can quit the Bitcoin application and Terminal, and then reopen Bitcoin without Terminal in future times, and your Bitcoin application should remember the connections."
this is not true. at least for me. u have to go thru the whole process each time.
Ok, good to know. It does work for me, I wonder if anyone knows what the problem is. Does anyone have any idea why cypherdoc needs to do this?
Sorry cypherdoc, I don't understand your question. What are you trying to achieve?
yeah, that question didn't make sense. is there a way to open terminal and have all your command lines pre-saved and in place so all u have to do is then hit enter?

Sorry cypherdoc, I don't understand your question. What are you trying to achieve?
No problem. Once it connects to few more peers it should remember them and in the future you should be able to connect to the network just by clicking on the bitcoin icon
edit: you should still look into how to open/forward port 8333
edit: you should still look into how to open/forward port 8333
on a Mac, if u launch the Bitcoin app from the Dock, what terminal command would u use to find it: still use cd desktop or something else?
Glad to help.
Thank you for the coin
