Title: Missing transaction Post by: Shiver on June 12, 2011, 03:48:23 AM Seems this is the only place I can post at the moment. Wondering if anyone can throw any light on this:
Deepbit automatically empties my account when it reaches 10 BTC, and has done so successfully in the past. This time when I passed 10 it went from my deepbit account as expected, but didn't appear in my wallet. It's been about 30 hours now. Using BlockExplorer shows the transaction but bitcoin.exe doesn't show it. Anybody got advice on what I can investigate to see what happened? Regards Paul Title: Re: Missing transaction Post by: finack on June 12, 2011, 03:53:09 AM does the blocks: number in the bitcoin client match the highest number block shown on blockexplorer? It may be that your client is running behind or has gotten stuck and isn't downloading new blocks.
Title: Re: Missing transaction Post by: Shiver on June 12, 2011, 05:16:58 AM It doesn't. Bitcoin app looks to be about 300 blocks behind blockexplorer. Actually it says "(not connected)" as well, but I don't see anywhere to make it connect. I thought it might have been because a new client app release came out, but I've upgraded it without incident, and it's not made any difference.

Title: Re: Missing transaction Post by: jondecker76 on June 12, 2011, 05:21:22 AM I have also had this happen before, a restart worked for me as well
Title: Re: Missing transaction Post by: Shiver on June 12, 2011, 06:16:38 AM A restart doesn't seem to work for me. I can't see any processes related to it once closed. Perhaps a reboot will help.
Title: Re: Missing transaction Post by: Shiver on June 12, 2011, 06:31:23 AM I tried a reboot and gave it 10 mins, but there's not change. The last transaction has block value 129857, but bitcoin.exe value at the bottom of the window is 129533, and it's been there for >24 hours. Should that block count be increasing periodically if it were connected?
Perhaps I could install it on another machine and paste in the bitcoin address? I'm a bit unsure what the critical components are for the security of the wallet. I've just been backing up the entire directory every time there's a transaction. Title: Re: Missing transaction Post by: Shiver on June 12, 2011, 06:51:25 AM I finally got it working. I unticked the option to connect through proxy socks4 and it started. I've never changed those, and it doesn't seem to remember the settings anyhow, but once the block number in bitcoin.exe passed the block number of the transaction it appeared, so I think it's all good now. Thanks for the suggestions.
