Bitcoin Forum

I ordered my first set of Bitcoins from getbitcoin.com for $95 USD.  6 days later and I still have not received any bitcoins to my wallet.  I have gone back and forth with the support at getbitcoin.com and they said that the bitcoins have definitely been sent, but said to make sure I downloaded the block chain.  I am using the basic bitcoin wallet downloaded from bitcoin.org.  After searching the forums and doing some research, I haven't read anything about anyone trying to receive bitcoins and it not working..  What is wrong here? Also I tried to get free bitcoins from bitcoin faucet and those aren't showing up either.

At the bottom of the client, does it show a progress bar?

Yeah, 12370 blocks remaining.

You'll have to wait till the rest of the blocks finish downloading.

If you want to see if the coins where actually sent; grab the address you used to receive the coins, visit https://blockchain.info/ ( or http://blockexplorer.com/ ), and put in the address in the search field.

yeah do not worry your bitcoins should be there

just make sure you keep your wallet.dat file (its stored in c:\users\(yourusername)\appdata\roaming\bitcoin)

you might want to make a couple backups of your wallet.dat file just in case

Enter your account into blockexplorer and it will tell you if the coins were sent. If so, you can click on the transaction and see what block they're in. As soon as your client gets that block, the coins will show up. But if blockexplorer shows them, you have them, whether your client knows it or not.

I so far have  $300 in getbitcoin.com, and no word on when and if I will get my coin.  My money order has been processing so far for a week now, but no word as of yet as to when or if I will get my coin.  I hope I do because that was a decent chunk of my paycheck :'(
I checked their website today and its throwing up some weird application error msg.  I have not heard from "Hanna" in 2 days either.  I hope this is just a technical difficulty and not sign that my money has gone *poof*

Website is mentioned in wiki.
Hence there is bitcointalk topic:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25528.0
Try to reach the owner there or though PM. If it turns out to be scam in the end you can try warn others in this section:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

Though before starting witch-hunt I'd suggest inputting your bitcoin address here:
http://blockchain.info/ ("Search")
And checking for balance.

Will do thanks for the links :)
