I think that my client was syncing when i did the transaction. So thanks for giving me a answer to my problem, but i feel that the client should be able to listen to new transactions and syncing up to the blockchain at the same time dont you?

It has to have the blockchain to verify that the transaction is valid.

Was your Bitcoin-Qt running when the transaction was broadcast? Was it connected to peers? Was synchronization caught up?

If not, then your Bitcoin-Qt missed the initial relay of the transaction and therefore has not heard about it.

It will discover the transaction when it receives it in a block.

If your Bitcoin-Qt was running, was synchronized, and was connected to peers when the transaction was boadcast, then it should have heard about the transaction and displayed it as "unconfirmed".

I figured out the problem. It was synchronized connected and open. It was not shown as unconfirmed. Nothing was in the wallet. This was because it was sent without a fee. It had to wait in line and therefore did not show up, even as unconfirmed, in my wallet. It showed up on blockchain though. Had to wait about 5 or 6 hours to go through and show up.

If anyone else has this problem check blockchain to see if it sent with a fee.

I am having the same problem. The bitcoin was sent over an hour ago. It shows as unconfirmed on blockchain but fails to appear in my wallet.

Hi everyone

My bitcoin-qt 0.8.5-beta on a Debian 7 wont discover a unconfirmed transaction. It wont get the transaction until it have got in to a block. I don't like that i wont see a incoming transaction until it have become confirmed.

Please tell me if you guys and girls need more info about this to help me out.
