Title: Not receiving funds sent to me with Bitcoin (on a Mac) Post by: synergy543 on June 16, 2011, 01:57:01 AM I'm new to bitcoin and am certainly doing something wrong.
I have Bitcoin installed on my Mac and someone is sending me funds via a receiving address I generated but nothing comes in (its been several hours now). Any idea why? The bitcoin software has been installed (and running) on my computer for a few days. I quit and restarted it but that made no difference. Down at the bottom of the screen it says: 0 connections 1000 blocks 0 transactions I know the sender DID send it - its only .001 BTC for testing. What might I be doing wrong?

try opening port 8333 on your router Title: Re: Not receiving funds sent to me with Bitcoin (on a Mac) Post by: SomeoneWeird on June 16, 2011, 02:03:22 AM I'm new to bitcoin and am certainly doing something wrong. We're currently at block 131163, you need to wait until your client finishes downloading them. Add some fallback nodes or open port 8332 on your router.I have Bitcoin installed on my Mac and someone is sending me funds via a receiving address I generated but nothing comes in (its been several hours now).

Wait until you have them all and then come back ;) Title: Re: Not receiving funds sent to me with Bitcoin (on a Mac) Post by: abenderlong on June 18, 2011, 06:20:57 PM Well I'm a certified idiot at forums. Always have been :P. But thanks a lot, saved me a lot of trouble googling it :D. I would have given you a small donation, but, you know :D
