Title: What to do if block explorer shows transaction, but haven't recieved it. Post by: sammoocow on June 17, 2011, 10:59:10 PM As some of you might know I was one of the recent people to be stolen from. Right after I created a new wallet and sent my remaining 0.1BTC ( :-[ ) to it. When I search the address I sent to that is copied and pasted from the client running my new wallet it shows the transaction, receiving the 0.1, but my client has still not got it.
Is there something else I have to do since I made a new wallet? :/ Title: Re: What to do if block explorer shows transaction, but haven't recieved it. Post by: Dirt Rider on June 18, 2011, 01:45:52 AM The new wallet won't show transactions to it until it has finished downloading the block chain.

Title: Re: What to do if block explorer shows transaction, but haven't recieved it. Post by: herbertfilby on June 18, 2011, 08:39:24 PM I'm having the same problem. I am waiting for 11 BTC to arrive in my wallet but never came... I'm trying the wallet on a different computer and I will try that -rescan switch and let you know if it works ???
--EDIT: Waited for blockchain to finish. Took an hour or so. Got the transaction. Title: Re: What to do if block explorer shows transaction, but haven't recieved it. Post by: sammoocow on June 18, 2011, 10:40:24 PM How do I use the -rescan switch? (Mac OSX)

It still hasn't showed up in my client. Wtf? That page indicates that coins were combined from three different addresses to be received by 15aU...
