Title: Didnt got payment on BC, Blockexplorer are trustable ?
Post by: Paladino on September 28, 2011, 08:35:43 PM
Hello!

I need some questions!

I have done a sale on a Forum, and I have accepted to sell a thing for 5$ the guy have sented 0.86BC (not sure if he do the correct exchange, i dont know a real website for calculating this thing, if you know one?)

In my bitcoin client I didnt got any payment, thats my first transaction..

He gave me this link:

https://blockexplorer.com/address/1Jje25dBzt8pYrxk1xvrLgqEq63FVFPmbZ/4

And he say thats a proof of what I got, i still have nothing in my bitcoin client, he say thats impossible, also i have sented a picture of my bitcoin client, and i have nothing on it, he said im a scammer blah blah..

I would like to know, cuz he say thats impossible, i have a problem ect.. but i have opened all ports (specially the 8333)

also tried to copy paste the wallet on another computer, still the same thing, and on the link:

I saw this thing: " Public key?:
Unknown (not seen yet) "

But when i see other payment on blockexplorer, I see others public key, so i want to say WTF ? i do something really wrong or what ?

I just have installed BC normally, sent him the adress, and waiting 1hour, didnt get the money on it..

im currently at 137000 blocks, with 12 connections (sometimes 8 connections)

he said also, each time i launch BC, i have to got another BC adress, but its still the same for me, and he said also, BC have to do a test transaction for me first.. i have readed loads hell of tutorials, never seen a thing like that

so... some guys on BC abuse the system, try to scam, or i have a real problem?

i use the last version.. thanks for ur time!

Your client hasn't downloaded all the blocks yet.  The most current block as-of the time this is being written is 147,296.
