Title: Man... Bitcoin transactions not processing... the death of Bitcoin? Post by: chessdragon on July 03, 2011, 04:17:12 AM http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/mm480/theskewer/bitcoin.png
Pretty self-explanatory what the issue is, what with it being July 2nd... Why hasn't it processed? Bitcoin is not going to be a viable client if it cannot process transactions within 24 hours... Am I doing it wrong, or is the Bitcoin system failing me? Title: Re: Man... Bitcoin transactions not processing... the death of Bitcoin? Post by: Herodes on July 03, 2011, 04:36:04 AM A few things you can check:
Check with block explorer that the transaction exists. (cue: google) If you have an old backup, you could try deleting everything in your data directory, and copy back the old wallet.dat. Make sure you shut down the client first, and if you move or delete files, it's always good to make extra backups. I had a similar problem to you, and I don't remember the details now, but it was solved by deleting everything in the data directory and inserting an old copy of the wallet.dat, then downloading the block chain again. The data directory is in c:\users\youruser\appdata\roaming\bitcoin Title: Re: Man... Bitcoin transactions not processing... the death of Bitcoin?

Here's the transaction receiving your 0.15 BTC:

It's timestamp is 2011-06-22 19:33:48 So it took a fair few hours to be accepted. Someone who is more expert than I on the black magic of the official client will have to suggest a solution. My guess would be something like "run it again with -rescan". Title: Re: Man... Bitcoin transactions not processing... the death of Bitcoin? Post by: Alex Beckenham on July 03, 2011, 10:05:31 AM If -rescan doesn't work, there's another function available called -purgetx which isn't in the default client but can rebuild your wallet.dat from the blockchain.
Let us know how it goes. Title: Re: Man... Bitcoin transactions not processing... the death of Bitcoin? Post by: Pieter Wuille on July 03, 2011, 12:34:26 PM Since 0.3.23, -rescan will also update unconfirmed transactions already in your wallet.
If you haven't upgraded to 0.3.23, I'd suggest to do so, and try starting it with -rescan on the command line. |
