okay. i am leaving it open now. it says its 2 years and a week behind. whatever that means.

Bitcoin it's already in your wallet, but you need to sync your wallet. It will take very long time to sync if you are new with bitcoin core.

If you want faster way, try to backup your private key, then import export your private key into blockchain.info. After you see your bitcoin balance, move your bitcoin asap into another wallet like multibit or electrum.

So you don't have to wait very long time, and download all transaction.

Maybe your wallet isn't synched up to date with the blockchain for it to see it yet.

You could post your address or TX here so we can help you look it up on the blockchain or just find yourself a blockchain explorer to look it up yourself..

how do i sync my wallet?

You need to leave your wallet OPEN, thats all. It will sync itself and download all the database (55.5 GB) into your computer. It depends on your internet speed, how much time you need to wait (1 day or 1 week).

Your wallet balance is showing 0.10 BTC.

You just need to sync your wallet completely. Present Core database file size is 55.5 GB, So you need to wait till your wallet sync completely to view your transaction in your wallet.

sometime bitcoin transaction will delay,its happen to me several time. and its happen because many thing,
and people from coinbase will answer that :
Brian from Coinbase here. Sorry you experienced delays! There have been some issues in the past that we are working to improve. Coinbase sends a high volume of bitcoin transactions (often in parallel across many machines), and as a result we sometimes encounters issues that are uncommon elsewhere. In this case, I believe the root of the issue was around spending coins where the inputs were not in a block yet. We broadcast a large number of transactions, and sometimes other nodes receive them out of order (the transaction that spends the change could arrive before the transaction that generated the change). The official client, bitcoind, had an issue (unclear whether it was a bug, or intended) where a transaction in the orphan pool that got connected up (it's input transaction finally arrived) did not subsequently get relayed to the rest of the network like a regular transaction. We've been chatting with Gavin about this to see what solutions could make it into a near term release.

surprised Bitcoin is still being sold on Ebay these days.

Yeah but they way overcharge because at ebay you're paying with Paypal I guess and which is why they charge extra, I wouldn't recommend it. Other exchanges like LBC are better for buying/selling BTC but lately I am seeing big price differences there also, don't know what to make of it.

how do i sync my wallet?

Synchronizing a wallet means that the client is downloading the blocks from your peers. To do so, your client needs at least 1 outgoing connection. Go to Help>Debug Window> Information and you should see the connections. It should be something like

Code:

Number of connections: (In:58/Out:8)

Make sure you have at least 1 out. You will be fine as long as the Current number of blocks increases with time. Depending on your internet, CPU and IO speed, it can take up to a day. Leave it there till you see a tick at the bottom right of the client.

First time buying a bitcoin. Downloaded bitcoin core. Bought a bitcoin off ebay. Made a receiving URL, and gave it to seller. Seller transfered it to the url I gave him. Yet when I open b.c.core there says there are no transactions, and my balance is still zero.

Why buy bitcoin in ebay? It is like to buy bread in a store specialized in clothing. Bitcoin can be bought in exchanges. It is true that ebay is for everything. And as such even for bitcoin. But even in my country in deep villages or areas there are stores who sell everything. Because of lack of consumers cannot is possible to be sold all the same things in separate stores for every specific product. That does not mean that even in the capital of the country where I live must be so. The same even for ebay. Can be bought there if it will be not possible to find bitcoin in their natural "store". Which are exchanges. From those everything is more easy to do, more fast and more professional.

Grow SMALL amount of BTC by earning it

Quote from: RKen on December 01, 2015, 05:46:31 AM

If you want to receive an instant as such should not use bitcoin core wallet, disposable wallet others that do not require to download blockchain in advance, there is some wallet for example, electrum and multibit

They do download the block headers but not the entire blockchain. They take a few minutes to synchronise and take up much lesser space. For daily users, this is recommended.

and the url i sent is 1Dy9p87wy2eKvrdmat2WSmpvhitxD4ysei

You need to finish to synch bitcoin core first, for get the notification which show right notify from your wallet.
and looks like you just need to wait until the transaction confirmed, are you use default fees?

i think you waste your hardisk space and your bandwith if you buying only 0,1BTC and use Bitcoin Core
I prefered you to use mobile wallet or other wallet in your dekstop like electrum wallet

anyway Goodluck and welcome to bitcoin comunity

once you sit there and sync your wallet which will take like 5 days if you leave it on 10-12 hours a day then get an electrum wallet. This syncs fast and kicks ass

Just wait untill the blockchain is downloaded but you did not buy 1 BTC you bought 0.1 BTC.

First off, you did not buy a Bitcoin { a whole coin} ....you bought 0.1 BTC .... How much did you pay for that? If you use this address --> https://blockchain.info/ and you paste your Bitcoin address in the search

box, you would see the transaction and the BTC transfered to that address. You did receive some Satoshi, but not a full coin. Wink

What was your arrangement with the seller... ? To buy a full coin...?

Just wait for the full download to complete and after it synced, your amount will be displayed. Grin

-snip-You will receive it when you get the entire blockchain downloaded completely and last time I checked it was 20 GB+

For the balance to appear, it does not have to be fully synchronized. As soon as the client has synchronized to the block which the TX was included in, the transaction will appear and you can spend it assuming you didn't use the wallet to send anything before.

@OP, did you release the funds on ebay before checking for BTC payments?? Check it on a block explorer as mentioned above asap and never release funds before a Tx has atleast 3 confirmations.

For the latest Bitcoin Core, it is safe to accept transactions as valid at 1 confirmation, no huge risk for waiting any longer. Anyway, the TX has more than 100 confirmations right now.

I wouldn't recommend you to export your private key under any circumstances, it is quite a risk to do so. You have 2 options:
1) Wait for the client to synchronize and use it or transfer to another SPV client.
2) Generate a raw TX from a trusted service like coinb.in and send to your destination or another SPV Client.

Quote

1. Go to https://coinb.in/#newTransaction to generate a new transaction.
2. Fill in your address and put your desired output. Remember to include a change address (if you didn't spend everything into one output), I would put my origin address OR directly transfer it into another SPV wallet and input the address in the SPV Address as the change address for the time being. And click submit and copy the text in the box.
3. Go to Help>Debug console>Console and key in this: decoderawtransaction [paste here #2] and ensure that the information is correct.
4. Key in this: signrawtransaction [paste here #2] and copy the text.
5. Broadcast it: sendrawtransacton [paste here #4]

At any rate, I will go with 1 if I don't need it.

Usually a transaction takes between 5 minutes and 1 hour. Which receiving url did you give?
What is your bitcoin address? You can validate if the bitcoins are sent here: https://blockchain.info/

Actually the transaction is almost instant, as soon as you send/receive BTCTC, you can see it in your wallet (if it is synced) or on a block explorer. What you're talking about is the confirmations and on average it takes about 10 minutes for a confirmation. Don't confuse Bitcoin transactions with confirmations.
