Title: [Resolved]Problem: Missing Bitcoins??? Post by: Current-C on April 24, 2011, 01:46:00 AM Help!
Someone sent me two transactions this afternoon and they are not showing up in my wallet. I ran a search on Blockexplorer and it shows they were sent. My client has downloaded all the blocks. I was messing around a little during the time when the transactions may have been sent, and I had my wallet.dat file out of the bitcoin folder for a bit and was messing with the encryption software. Would this cause it to lose the addresses it generated for those transactions or something? I'm so confused and hoping someone can help me get these back. What the hell happened? Thanks!

If you have the addresses you're fine.... restart bitcoin with -rescan and they should show up. Title: Re: Problem: Missing Bitcoins???
