I sent you .01 just now. Ended up installing 3.23 Bitcoin app, and now I have another address (already?).
The standard Bitcoin client likes to generate you a new address whenever you receive coins on one more than once. This is to encourage you to use a new address for each transaction, which is important if you want to be sure you know who exactly is sending what. Obviously this matters more if you're actually selling something to people and not simply playing Bitcoin Darts or whatnot. Without getting into an escrow system like ClearCoin, this is the best way to make sure that a specific person paid for whatever you're selling.Other than cluttering up the address book, they do no harm, and addresses can never expire. I'd get into the habit of labeling each one though, just to be on the safe side.

I got it.
and i only get 8 connections even with the "Map port with UPnP" box ticked. Would my router be causing problems?

Make sure you are using version 3.23 of the Bitcoin app, they just came out with the new release. Router was not an issue for me.

I upgraded Bitcoin app from 3.22 to 3.23, and then I checked on "Map Port using UPnP"
That gave me more connections, from 9 to 39.

How long does the Bitcoin take to process?
Hey Dark,
Is your bitcoin app showing more than 130130 blocks? And how many connections is it showing?
With my 40+ connections and over 130130 blocks, my btc transactions came in fairly quick.

bitcoin generally takes ten minutes to process but can take much longer due to the random nature of things

Someone sent me another .01 btc.
Thought I saw your post, then it disappeared. I believe you wanted me to return back?
Could you repost your address and I will send.
Oh, sorry. That was mikel123. I had to delete his posts because of another thread.Thought I saw your post, then it disappeared. I believe you wanted me to return back?

Edit: His post didn't have a return address, so you'll have to PM him.

So now after upgrading to 3.23 Bitcoin app, I have two addresses, how handy is that?
Thanks for your help everyone!

Make sure you all are using the latest version of the Bitcoin client that came out yesterday. It reduces the transaction fee to 0.0005, down from 0.01.
Ah, thanks for this. June 14, 2011, 07:16:27 PM

Hi Dark,
When I receive the donation from the aforementioned on this post, would be happy to forward to you.
What version of Bitcoin are you using?
I had to downgrade from 3.22 to 3.21, as it seems to provide more connections. Also I read that once you reach 130130 blocks, then bitcoin transactions will go through. Right now I'm at 127750 and counting.
