That's what im saying: It doesn't work. Sad

I even had tried new adresses, but with same results.
There is no indication, what's going wrong or what's the problem.

I am no expert but try this from what i've learnt so far.

Try Back up your wallet and reload bitcoin. run it again and update block chain with

Also, note that the first 120,000 blocks are available as a .zip here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/blockchain/
You can speed up the installation of a new client using that archive.

Thanks, by the way, do you what will happen if the guy have delete his wallet and I still transfered btcs to his address?

I have no idea. I guess from what i learnt so far the BC's get lost forever.

There maybe really something wrong with sixofusu's account, because I checked the

http://blockexplorer.com/address/1G4JD8B2y3LjZ8iop6XHCsB6qQUsSfnWp9

still nothing. I have transfered 0.009btcs to this address two hours ago.

For comparison, I send 0.01 BTCs to another address, It has already showed.

Only the first time, it will take several hours.

After that, it will much faster, In my case, it usually took 20 minutes, maximum 1 hour to show on my local client.

Thanks

so after bitcoin builds the initial blkindex each time i run it it simply adds to build. Do i back up only the wallet file or the entire folder? Seriously I want to hid my back up usb under my mattress.

You only need to backup the wallet.dat file.

However, if you backup the entire folder, it can save your time to download all the blockindex.

If you want to hid your usb, you can consider run the bitcoin with a parameter -datadir=Bitcoin

You can copy the folder \AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin to the same directory of Bitcoin.exe,
And then save the folder contains both the program and the AppData.

thanks

will do.

It's ok, but hope you can be more patient in the future.

Wish the God help you.

I've deleted it yesterday, but i've tried since friday. Undecided

A colleague has waited about 10 minutes, before he gave up.

Never mind, you young guys today are impatient, you can not wait.

As you grow older, you will be mature and would like to wait.

Sometimes patience is also very critical for your personal success.

Thanks foo.

Makes sense.

So it takes roughly 4 hours since running bitcoin to download the block chain (so far 104,000). It currently takes two to three days to clear a check or a day to access online banking funds.

But as the block chain grows larger won't it take longer and longer to process a payment?

Or have i missed something about?

How much bandwidth does running this client use, anyway?

I'll send you 0.01BTCs to test whether it works.

Wait! I've deleted Bitcoin.

Ya! Maybe... It can be anything. But i don't know.

I just know: I've tested Bitcoin and it didn't work. So it's a Bitcoin problem.

The quintessential after this failture is, i don't try to integrate bitcoin-payment in our webshop, because the bitcoin-system doesn't seems to be trustworthy for me. A real pity.

It just clicked! You're trying to get someone to send you free Bitcoins.

Maybe your request looked illegitimate for some reason, and the request was silently discarded. The Faucet pretends to pay when it sees abuse.

The Faucet never sent the coins, so it's not a problem with Bitcoin.

I tried the same.

posted the address on the faucet for .02 bitcoins.

Been running bitcoin all day nothings showed up on the amount box.

Your client has to download the whole block chain first. Check that the number in the lower right corner of the window is at least 127730. (The block that includes the transaction that you linked to.)
