You should deselect that, close the client and then:

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 HuhHuh??


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??

don't do anything if you're block chain is downloading and you have 8 connections.  you're good to go.

cypherdoc,

Open Terminal and type:

Code:
cd /bin/
Code:
sudo nano mybtc

Once new window opens, copy and paste the following:

Code:
cd /Applications/
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 &&

then press ctrl+x and when prompted if you want to save choose yes

Next:

Code:
sudo chmod +x mybtc

Then close the terminal. Open it again and type

Code:
mybtc


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

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?

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

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?

Well it depend how you connect to the internet. If you connect to a router and then router lets you connect to the exchange(that's a typical home setup) then in order to allow better connectivity with the network you could log into your router and open/forward port 8333 to your specific IP address.

I'm not sure about the mac client, but windows client has a UPnP feature which automates this process. Try looking under "Preferences". You should tick a box that says "Map ports using UPnP" or something similar

Then restart the client

Sorry for being dumb, but (1) how would I know if I'm behind a router, and (2) how would I fwd the port?  Isn't that already selected in the preferences?

Are you behind a router? If so, can you open and forward port 8333 onto your computer?

edit: also if you leave it for a while and it has at least one connection it should find other peers

Sorry my mistake. It probably didn't run because of faulty syntax.

Close your client.

Try:
Code:
cd /Applications/

and then:

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

Let me know what happens.
It should start downloading the blockchain and you should see that number increasing.

Ok, I see, I put it in Applications and now it opened up in Terminal with your command, but it doesn't seem to be looking any better.   Still says 1 connection, and number of blocks still the same.  Also, can't click on generate now because it's opened from Terminal.  Anything else I should be doing?  Thanks!!

Don't click on generate on the bitcoin client, that miner is greatly outdated and only uses the CPU, get a proper GPU miner for mac.

If you're not sure, copy and paste into terminal:

Code:
sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
this may take a few minutes

and then:
Code:
locate Bitcoin

Please post the output of the second command

I get: -bash: /Applications/Bitcoin.app/contents/macos/bitcoin: No such file or directory
 
I don't have xcode, just the regular program running.

Code:
/Applications/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

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.  I am running Bitcoin on a Mac, I have 1 connection and around 700 khash/s. 

I have tried to receive bitcoin 2x in two separate transactions to two separate addresses and they don't show up, even after hours.  I am sure the sender sent the bitcoins already, and the addresses were the ones supplied by the program, I just did copy/paste.

The program says 126428 blocks, 0 transactions.

I am generating.

Anyone have any ideas what is going wrong?

THANK YOU!

The current block count is 127079 according to blockexplorer, so try disabling any firewalls (if not, restart your router) and if that doesn't work, delete all the blocks you've downloaded and try again (ONLY the blocks, not your wallet, else you will lose your money) and try redownloading them, they mightave become corrupted or something Smiley PM me if you need any help.

Yes, but how do I do this on a mac?  I don't have xcode, just running the program.

bitcoinfrenzy,

The reason why your balance isn't showing up is because you don't have the full blockchain(current number at the time of writing is 127078). Try connecting to fallback nodes and once blockchain is up to date I'm sure you'll see the coins
