If you want to walk on water, get out of the boat
As others said, we are at 131666 blocks now. You are only at 81050 lol, you still miss months of transactions  Grin

Wait until you have them all and then come back  Wink

Hmm. May I be doing something wrong as well if my bitcoin client shows that I have 7 connections and 81050 blocks, but no transactions? I'm almost positive someone sent me .01 BTC.

I'm new to bitcoin and am certainly doing something wrong.

I have Bitcoin installed on my Mac and someone is sending me funds via a receiving address I generated but nothing comes in (its been several hours now).  Any idea why?  The bitcoin software has been installed (and running) on my computer for a few days.  I quit and restarted it but that made no difference.

Down at the bottom of the screen it says:

0 connections
1000 blocks
0 transactions

I know the sender DID send it - its only .001 BTC for testing.

What might I be doing wrong?


We're currently at block 131163, you need to wait until your client finishes downloading them. Add some fallback nodes or open port 8332 on your router.
