Title: bitcoind sync problem?
Post by: st4nl3y on March 25, 2014, 07:15:58 PM
So i installed bitcoind on my vps and server is running and syncing but i am constantly an hour behind the blockchain. Also, yesterday i tried to send some coins from Multibit to one of the bitcoind addresses on my server but even after 100+ confirmations, the wallet shows 0 balance and 0 confirmations? Can someone help please.

maybe your VPS is too slow to keep up with the blockchain?

try maxconnections=1
listen=0
connect=5.9.24.81

thank you sir. Turned out i was still in december 2012  :o   but i have setup swap.img and it's catching up quicker now. Bitcoind takes 41% of my 1024mb but when fully synced it should drop to 200mb

If the wallet shows 0 balance means, still the blocks are not downloaded in full. You need to wait until the full blocks are downloaded. Let it be sync in full and then it will show the balance.
