Title: Can somebody help me with my problem?
Post by: herpingdo on April 09, 2013, 07:08:51 PM
So, lately I have been mining bitcoins on Slush's pool, and I got a payout of 0.05 BTC today, at about 4 AM while I was asleep. The pool system emailed me, saying it had been sent. I looked on blockchain, and sure enough, it had been sent to my address, but yet it was not in my wallet! I waited patiently for 100 confirmations before the "x confirmations" text went away, yet still no 0.05 BTC in my wallet! It has been about 2 hours since then, and I have still not received my BTC. Does anybody have any idea what could have caused this, and how I can get my BTC?

While it doesn't look very good, some steps I think you should take

1) Back up your wallet.dat (always back up wallet dat!)

2) Do a -rescan

I use MultiBit, what is the equivalent?

OK, I backed up my MultiBit folder, and then reset the blockchain and transactions, and it is fixed now. Thanks!
