yep, once the block that contained that transaction is downloaded and read by the client, it will show up in the window.

Make sure you have backed up your wallet.dat file properly as well, put it on a flash drive and store that flash drive in a safe place, you may even want to have it on 2 separate flash drives and check to make sure they are okay make a new backup every 2-4 weeks. buy separate brands to be safer.

Remember that you only have 100 spare keys in your keypool that get backed-up, and that most outgoing transactions will use one of these keys.

129222 and building - so does that mean I just haven't downloaded the full chain yet?

Sorry I've just always kept my BTC in the exchange or mybitcoin.com but decided it was time to embrace the client.

Sorry, I've searched and searched before posted but I couldn't find the answer.

I transferred BTC from mt gox to my client and 4 hours later I've still not seen anything show up in the client. Yes I've emailed support but I wanted to see if this is normal or I should be concerned?

I appreciate the help.

do you have the blockchain downloaded. there are a total of 129745 blocks right now, 1 more every 10 minutes. so by the time you read this there will be more.
