Title: Not able to send and recieve BTC
Post by: AzNmeowmeow on October 24, 2012, 05:17:46 AM
Lately it's acting really weird, I've made some very little BTC from doing stupid shit off the "Free BTC listing" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90718.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90718.0) post.

And I was doing like at least a week long and still I didn't get anything, so instead I made a instawallet thing and pour all the mbtc into there. My instawallet did receive the mbtc.

Is there anything I should know about senting and recieveing btc or there's just something plain wrong with my computer.

You can troubleshoot by verifying the transaction using the blockchain.  If it shows in the blockchain but not in your wallet, then the problem is on your side.   

If the payment doesn't show in the blockchain then it is on their side (the sender of the payment).

Hmm do you get an error message or what?
Instawallet works great for me, does it say the full amount as available in the field
where you input the amount to send?  ???

Alright but now how do I fix the problem knowing that I can't sent BTC?

I'm having trouble folllowing.

Instawallet is a website that provides a hosted (shared) EWallet service.  Your EWallet on Instawallet has a single, static Bitcoin address associated with it.    When you use a service and send to that address, it will appear in Instawallet after the transaction confirms.

Do not lose your URL for your Instawallet, as that is the only way to access and spend the funds later.

Are you saying that some other service is not sending to that Bitcoin address associated with your Instawalet? (you can verify if that is happening through the blockchain, and a service that provides a view of the blockchain is Blockchain.info ).
