Topic: Need Deepbit admin help ASAP PLS (Read 2307 times)

need to track my bitcoins from deepbit can any one from the admin help  they have vanished

I guess you were the only one well hehehe thanks anyway.

Others did seem to try to help before u though.

If I wasn't trying to recover my costs of 2 and 1/2 computers I would donate.

I think I was the only one responding.  But you're welcome (looks down at sig...)

Thanks again everyone, I finally got it.

Now just hope BC recovers soon.

Do you have Bitcoin installed?  Can you run the GUI?  Then you have bitcoin.exe somewhere.

I'll install under Windows and find it...
[Taps Feet]

Okay, under Windows 7 it installs into:  C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin.exe

Open a command prompt, cd to that directory, and then run the executable with the options specified earlier in the thread.

That's the problem I cant find any applications folders on my computer.

That's why I was asking for help.

Find bitcoin.exe (probably there in your Program Files):
bitcoin.exe -datadir=./data -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=217.157.1.202 -addnode=178.63.15.200 -addnode=109.75.176.193 -addnode=174.120.185.74

Use the Fallback node addresses from here:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fallback_Nodes

Alright, I think I found a problem with my bitcoin client but need help.

Running Win 7
Bit coin is installed in c:program files (x86)\bitcoin

It seems my generating could be providing me a false number of connections because I'm mining on the same computer.

I can not find the applications folder that someone suggested to do the following.

If your client is having trouble downloading the blocks
Close your client, open terminal and run these commands

Code:
cd /Applications/

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=

Can anyone provide me with instructions how to do this in WIN 7.  This might fix my false connections issue.

I'm going to try and shorten this take out what is good.

1.  Resolved I'm running correct bitcoin version 3.23

This link isn't working for me and I can't find it on the Wiki http://www.bitcoin.org I know jedi the designer but sometimes he's very slow responding to my emails, so if someone has a good valid, safe link would be nice.

2a removed

This is all gargon to me, I'm running win 7 which is new to me over the last month.  Can't figure out how and if bitcoin is being blocked.  I can tell you I hit allow bitcoin when it gave me the option after I loaded it.  Confirming if my IP is blocking on the sending side could be the issue.  A little more basic explanation would be nice if possible.

Did this and it did not help, my bitcoin screen is sitting on 1000 blocks and not changing.  I know that wallet has a lot more blocks but it's not changing.  I do have the same wallet on 2 computers and both those computers are actively mining 24/7.


Yes, I figured that from reading everything I have read, however, it still does not resolve the matter that it seems my blockchain is not being generated.  Why I don't know, can't figure it out.  My addnode has been running for over 24 hours and my blockchain has not loaded on my computer.  Yes I know I'm useing the right wallet.dat because it has the same receiving addresses as my original bitcoin file which held my balance.
Here if it helps I'm running my addnode
via cmd CTRL+Shift+Enter
gives me c:windows\system32
I type cd..
cd..
Gives me C:
I type cd\program files (x86)
cd bitcoin
Gives me C:program files (x86)bitcoin>
now the addnode I'm using is:   bitcoin.exe -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 -addnode=178.255.199.86 -addnode=127.0.0.1 -addnode=192.168.1.8 -addnode=192.168.1.5 -addnode=192.168.1.1
My computer just goes back to showing c:program files (x86)\bitoin> after hitting enter on last line of addnode

Weird but ok, reason it's odd is because both computers were built in the last month. 

New ?6A:  So how do I update my bitcoin version on other system without losing my wallet or coin?  If I'm not connected I don't want to send it out and still lose the coin.  I heard or read somewhere this happened to someone.

I can't find crap on this wiki as for information I'm looking for not even in the FAQ,  Yet port I'm referring to is when hitting option in bitcoin you have IP proxy and port: ?,  That is what I meant by correct port.

Note: how is bitcoin interest supposed to peak if people such as myself are having all these issues.  I know as bitcoin builds popularity I won't be the only one with this issue.  There's got to be other people whom are ignorant on this matter.

Version 0.3.23

Version 1.50:  http://svn3.xp-dev.com/svn/phoenix-miner/files/



Download from the above repository, that's the official one linked from the Bitcoin Wiki at http://www.bitcoin.org

You know you're connected, because you have connections.  If you don't have any connections, you're not connected.  You really should have more than 2, not sure why that's all you're seeing, could be a firewall issue, check here:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ#Do_I_need_to_configure_my_firewall_to_run_bitcoin?

It can take several hours to get the entire blockchain.  You should fire up your client and then go to bed, in the morning you should hopefully have the entire blockchain downloaded.


Not sure.  However, in order to "receive" coins, you have to have downloaded the block from the blockchain that includes your transaction.  This is only necessary to actually see a balance in your client.  You can receive coins to an address without being online or having the client running, but to use the coins received, you'll need to have a client that has access to your wallet.dat.


The ability to Generate Bitcoin was removed from the later versions of the client.  I'm assuming not all of your computers are running the latest version of the client.


Not sure what you mean about your computer being on the right port.

Most of your questions can be answered here:  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ

Alright, I'm really getting messed up here,

I've been searching and searching for topics I can't find.

1.  What is the latest version of bitcoin?
2.  What is the latest version of Phoenix miner?  (I'm running 1.47)
    A.  How do I know it's a safe version?  (Not posted from some scammer)
3.  How do I know I'm connected to the bitcoin network?
Bitcoin is not firewalled, I'm generating, only 1-2 connections, but my blocks do not change?
4.  How long does it take the addnode to catch up on blocks?
    A.  How do I know the addnode thing is working?
5.  Why can't I get my BC client to receive coins without doing addnodes or something else?
6.  How come on one computer I see Generat bitcoin option but on other computers I don't have that option?
7.  How do I know I have my computer on the right port?

Thank in advance for anyone whom can help.

This keeps happening to me, I'm not receiving the bitcoin sent to me I keep having to do this addnode thing.  Can anyone tell me why?

Some suggestions in these topics for that error

What is up with this ?

Is this Deepbit, bitcoin or my computers.

[14/06/2011 08:37:35] Warning: work queue empty, miner is idle

Thank you everyone for you help.  I actually managed to get my bit coin.

If anyone else reads this I believe it was the addnoe stuff that worked

cd C:\program files\bitcoin

bitcoin.exe -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 -addnode=178.255.199.86

No Luck,  I think I'm the unluckiest person right now.

I have 51.19 BC in limbo floating around space with superman and I guess he gets it before me.

What if I try reloading BC and the old Wallet File.  Will that help?

I'm sure it will sort itself out. Remember, the BTCs have already been transfered to your account (See post #6), your client just doesn't know it yet 

alright, I got it connected, I don't have a generate option and I did this add node command.  I guess it's wait and see from here to see what happens.  This I actually think might work now. 

I will be back and or try talking to tyco thanks everyone for your input eventhough due to being stressed and tired a lot of this has gone over my head.  Clear head and sleep makes this much easier to understand.

@TheGer, the way it looks this really is no problem Tycho/deepbit could do anything about; the OPs problem is that his client is getting no connections.

Re:Fallback Nodes: You might want to try the commands mentioned here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12573.msg174660#msg174660

Well I PM'd Tyco at least I can do that as a newbie.  Other than that us newbies are stuck to this newbie forum area which means.  Me putting a post in a special area is not allowed.  So I'm screwed because I don't have enough time in the day to sit and post.  Thanks a lot spammers.

I pray for a resolution.

I don't wish to take up forum space.   Thanks to those that tried helping.  I still can't find a resolution.  I'm smart enough to build a mining computer, but evidently not smart enough to understand all this jargon and keep my bitcoin safe.
