Title: New to bitcoins just one quesiton maybe it's easy. Post by: MrBurns on November 18, 2010, 09:44:14 PM I have taken the opportunity to read everything I can. My only question that I have come up with is not how long a transaction takes to confirm but how long it takes to show up in the client. I have 92761 blocks showing. If someone sends me coins during this transaction block period will it not show in my interface until 92762? I have not been able to find that answer in the wiki or the FAQ's.
Would anyone send me some money to play with? I use TOR and the BitCoinFaucet will not give me any money because of that. 17yhRAYKJvVmBh14HMxYRHp2Z4erWgk1ne Thank you all.

I'm no developer though, they may be able to indicate occasions where it won't be so fast. Title: Re: New to bitcoins just one quesiton maybe it's easy.

Sent a drop, with a 20% TOR bonus :) Title: Re: New to bitcoins just one quesiton maybe it's easy. Post by: ribuck on November 18, 2010, 09:59:45 PM I can't believe how fast the payment usually arrives. When I withdraw some BTC from mtgox, as soon as I click on the bitcoin window the coins are already there (unconfirmed of course).

Yeah, the propagation of transactions is pretty zippy right now, because there are not nearly the number of nodes to spread a transaction to as the system is intended to support. As Bitcoin becomes more popular, the lag time for transactions will increase. Title: Re: New to bitcoins just one quesiton maybe it's easy.

I utter the above yesterday, and today things are going so slowly I was beginning to wonder if I had botched up my client or wallet somehow.I'm no developer though, they may be able to indicate occasions where it won't be so fast. What the heck is going on? Title: Re: New to bitcoins just one quesiton maybe it's easy. Post by: MoonShadow on November 19, 2010, 07:29:03 PM For me most transactions have been almost instantaneous.

What the heck is going on? Someone has been spamming the network with transactions to oneself. Whoever it is needs to use the test network to play games, that is what it is for. |
