Title: mtgox/bitcoin wallet qt/freebies Post by: rival4653 on April 26, 2013, 09:55:53 PM I opened a bitcoin qt wallet and have 98% of the block chain downloaded. I sent a transfer to my wallet from mtgox. I also participated in the freeebie sites. I open my wallet and have a grand total of zero coins. Am I missing something or does it actually take a long time to receive my coins.
Title: Re: mtgox/bitcoin wallet qt/freebies Post by: Birdy on April 26, 2013, 10:01:52 PM The block chain is the transfer history, so if it's not up to date your transfer may be listed in the blockchain, but you cannot see it yet.
The free-Bitcoin sites often send the BTC after a day or even a week (and some not at all). Title: Re: mtgox/bitcoin wallet qt/freebies Post by: rival4653 on April 26, 2013, 10:04:06 PM Ok, so I have to be fully updated to see my transfers every time?

If you are using the Bitcoin-Qt wallet? Yes. You may be interested in one of the "lightweight" wallets that don't require you to maintain/synchronize the blockchain. If so, look into: Electrum MultiBit https://blockchain.info/wallet Title: Re: mtgox/bitcoin wallet qt/freebies Post by: grabble on April 26, 2013, 10:19:29 PM Be careful to only download multibit from multibit.org
There is a scammer website out there that will steal your bitcoins however meager. |
