Title: 1st adress and BTC is stuck at 6000...
Post by: BitcoinMagus on August 21, 2011, 05:29:22 PM
I also went to bitcoin faucet and signed up. So far nothing has arrived. How long does it take to get all the blocks downloaded normally?

Wait, you have to leave bitcoins up in order to receive the money?

No, transactions are registered on the blockchain.

But if you want to see these transactions on your client you have to download all the blocks, then your BTC will appear.

How do you know when all the blocks are downloaded?

You check the total blocks number here http://bitcoinwatch.com/

Now we are almost at 142000 for example
