Title: Comp restarted (what happens?)
Post by: darvil on February 28, 2011, 08:45:14 PM
I just found out my comp loss power about an hour ago.  It was down for an hour I think.

When I started it back up I saw this message "Generated (50.00 matures in 94 more blocks)." with 26 confirmations about 4 hours ago.

I didn't see what block it was as my machine went down.  Does that means this block is a loss?  Or since its been confirmed I should get in later? 

Murphy law at its best.  I've been at it for almost a week now and this has to happen.  This is my first generated block too.

Unless the power loss damaged your wallet, you will get your 50 BTC after 120 blocks.

Is there a way to verify it?

Unlikely it was affected but I guess I just have to wait and see.

I am sure you will receive them.
Don't worry about that.

Hey thanks alot ;)

Yea I see the thing counting down .. we're at 92 so its getting nearer.

My first self block so its a big deal.  I don't know if this is luck as self generating is becoming too difficult.
Probably will have to join one of the pools.

If you want to see the block number (on Windows) hold down Ctrl and the numpad "+" key...it will unhide some fields, one of which is the block number (the first one)

works only with "ctrl right", but how to switch back to normal again ?

Seems restarting bitcoins does, but don't know the shortcut (if there is one).
