Title: I can no longer see "incoming transaction" notification (Bitcoin-QT)
Post by: AtheistAKASaneBrain on April 03, 2015, 08:39:03 PM
I opened my wallet after a while to sync it and see if everything is in order. Usually I check transactions on the blockchain.info site and from time to time I sync the wallet locally. Anyway, I was expecting to see a lot of nice "incoming transaction" notifications but I didn't see a single one. I also noticed how this time I didn't see any BTC amounts in "unconfirmed", I just got paid directly and it added into my balance.
The transactions arrived just fine, but I didn't get the notifications on the taskbar... I haven't modified anything on the options. Last time I think I still had the previous version to 0.10.0, so I just updated it.

I have 0.10.0 on my other machine and the incoming transaction notification shows up, and im using the same OS.

How can I make it appear again? It felt good seeing the nofications coming in, without them getting paid is not as exciting ;D

In case its not clear what im talking about it's this:

If I understand correctly what you were saying, the "incoming transaction" notification shows up when a transaction is broadcasted on the network (and is waiting confirmation).

Because it's been some time you didn't sync that wallet, the first time it knows about those old transactions is when the block is updated but it's all there already.
After that client is fully in sync, check if notifications come up again when you get a new payment.

But I usually never leave it opened, like I said I open it once in a month or so, and it always showed the notifications even if they are old. Some are recent tho, like 2 days ago but didn't show up. I'll see what happens next time.
