Title: btc lost in transfer Post by: m4rkiz on July 30, 2011, 03:46:37 PM i did small transfer between two btc clients
it has some confirmations on sending client http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/2874/clipboard0100.jpg both clients have the same block count, but there is no sign of anything on receiving one http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/3027/clipboard01011.jpg i can see that there is correct address displayed, transaction exists in block explorer with same address http://blockexplorer.com/address/1TaKbwZTBLrj1ad64V6sUJEr1ZhdgghBv (http://blockexplorer.com/address/1TaKbwZTBLrj1ad64V6sUJEr1ZhdgghBv) already tried restarting, and copying wallet.dat to another client, no luck what can i do to investigate further?

Title: Re: btc lost in transfer Post by: vuce on July 30, 2011, 04:18:25 PM I had the same problem when changing wallets. -rescan works on linux but doesn't always work on windows. Get an old backup of the block chain (from http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/blockchain-nightly/, older than the block including this transaction) and let the client download the rest, and it will show up - this has always worked for me.
Title: Re: btc lost in transfer Post by: m4rkiz on July 30, 2011, 04:21:55 PM Do you have the latest client? Try starting up with the -rescan option on the receiver side. Have you done anything funky like import a private key or anything? yes, latest trying rescan option now edit: it worked... i say we need a whole lot more in help menu Title: Re: btc lost in transfer Post by: m4rkiz on July 30, 2011, 04:22:46 PM I would just wait. Sometimes it takes some time until the coins arrive, especially when they were sent without a fee. i believe that this is due to lack of confirmations on nontaxed transactions, while i have more than 10 confirmations already |
