Title: Problem Generating BC Post by: hachacha on September 15, 2010, 08:27:29 PM Ok well I've read the FAQ and understand that with the average modern PC it could take about 3 weeks to generate 50BC (at least that is how I understood what I read). I have a decent PC, nothing great. Anyways I've been running bitcoin since July 12. Within 1 day I generated 50BC. Now ever since then it hasn't generated any BC for me. It appears to be working fine, the usual X number of khash/s, says its Generating, 8 connections, 79933 blocks and counting, and 6 transactions. I can send and receive BC with no problems. So my question is, why have I not generated any BC since July 13? Am I just being impatient or what? Did the rate of BC generation change? Am I doing something wrong? I didn't really change any computer habits, so whats the deal?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.

And also you should check that your port 8333 is open (link (https://web.archive.org/web/2010/http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/portStatus.php)). Title: Re: Problem Generating BC Post by: hachacha on September 16, 2010, 01:06:53 AM Oops, looks like I wasn't running the latest version. Thanks.
