Title: What happens if i send some one bitcoins and there application is closed.
Post by: Quantus on June 16, 2011, 09:23:08 PM
So say I send 10 bitcoins to some one and right at that moment they lose their internet connection. Or There computer crashes. Are the bitcoins lost forever? :P

And yes I am new. Started mining yesterday at 204 mh/s bought 2 more GPU but there on back order looking for a GPU that can give me 200mh/s under 190 bucks ea.
if any one has any ideas.

Love you thanks and long live Bitcoin! ;D

You don't have to be online to receive coins. Nothing get's lost.

Don't worry, it will sit queued until they reconnect on line....  They will start getting confirmations of the transaction.

No worries, your bitcoin client will catch up to the current block when it next connects.
