Wait at least 24 Hours.

I have a similar problem.

I sent 5 payments to the same address about 24 hours ago.
2 payments received at least 1 confirmation within 30minutes.
The 3 other payments have yet to  a single confirmation.

Is this normal? If I receive no confirmation in another 24 hours, what should I do??
(The two confirmed payments have over 150 confirmations now, but the 3 payments still have 0 confirmation)

Thanks in advance.

I don't get it.

I had someone pay me some bitcoins yesterday... if I copy the address into bitcoin-explorer, the transaction is there. Actually, there appears to be two transactions - one is for the correct amount, the other smaller...

... but I leave it overnight, and the transaction still hasn't turned up in my bitcoin client. So... as far as I can see, the funds are unavailable to me.


Now - much has been trumpeted about how "instant" bitcoin payments are. As far as I can see, they're slower than my normal (New Zealand) bank.

Include a 0.02BTC transaction fee to get very high priority among nodes.

The transaction will be fully confirmed in an hour or so.

Ah - ok. Cheers. Bitter irony then that it still hasn't turned up in my bitcoin client, because (for reasons unknown) it only downloads about 3 blocks an hour.
