Title: Have a done it right Post by: owas on December 20, 2014, 06:57:39 PM After buying my three bitcoins last week, I have been waiting for them to appear in bitcon core desktop wallet application. As this taken almost a week sync and then "render blocks" its still not working and wont update my total.
So I got my private key, opend a greenaddress.it account and from here requested the three coins. But I cant use bitcoin core on my desktop wallet as it wont updated my total. So is it correct that my coins are now safe in the greenaddress.it account, and I can just leave them there now and can I delete the bitcoincore application from my pc?

Have you checked the address balance on blockchain.info to make sure it is really 3 bitcoin?

But the balaance in greenaddress is 2.9999 BTC ≈ 647.02 GBP (although I paid £724 for the 3 bitcoins last Tuesday)??

Title: Re: Have a done it right Post by: hyphymikey on December 21, 2014, 05:54:26 AM You most likely went from 3 coins to 2.9999 due to the fee of moving the coins to greenaddress. Most people do not need to use bitcoin core wallet because it has to download the entire blockchain before you see current balances etc. Wallets like multibit do not need to do this, nor does blockchain.info wallet

Bitcoin has a standard transaction fee of 0.0001 bitcoin, so it is alright to get 2.9999 bitcoin for your 3 bitcoin withdrawal. Bitcoin price was near $350 last Tuesday, and is now near $320.

But I cant use bitcoin core on my desktop wallet as it wont updated my total.
