Title: How to accept payments.
Post by: pepe perez on March 26, 2013, 08:25:43 PM
No need to apologize since this is the newbie forum  ;D  however, the question is quite silly:

- I have a payment to accept from p2pool.

- In my BC client (Overview, Send coins, Receive coins, Transactions, etc), Transaction panel: I see a green hack on the rest of the payments but the p2pool payment has a clock (instead of a green hack)

- How do I confirm that payment?

Did the payment just come through?  The clock should be there for any transaction that doesn't have 6 confirmations yet.  Give it about an hour and the clock should be gone.

The clock should be there for any transaction that doesn't have 6 120 confirmations yet.  Give it about an hour a day and the clock should be gone.
Mined coins require 120 confirmations, except for pools that pay out indirectly (which p2pool doesn't). Just be patient.

Good call, forgot about that little detail!
