Post by: reidi on August 04, 2011, 07:17:13 PM
Hi,

well I'm just new with bitcoin.
I've installed Bitcoin and let it download all Blocks. Now i wanted to test if can get some money.
For this i used this Service.

https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/

But just nothing happens! Nothing appears in the window of the Bitcoin Program.

So many questions i hope you've some answeres.

Thank you in advance

Bitcoin transactions take some time to show up, on the average 10 minutes.

You can check the bitcoin faucet send list and see if your bitcoin address is there. If it is, just be patient :)

So you're saying your address is already in the blockexplorer data? Just that you're not seeing anything in your bitcoin client?

If that's the case, you need to close it, then start it from command promot with the -rescan option i.e. "bitcoind -rescan"
