Title: is MyBitcoin working?
Post by: NghtRppr on May 07, 2011, 02:50:07 AM
I've got the auto-forwarding feature setup and it shows my two incoming test payments and then two outgoing payments but nothing shows up in blockexplorer or my client. Is there some kind of built-in delay?

Perhaps it's the large backlog of transactions waiting to get in blocks... ???

I guess that's it. I just got the first transaction that was sent like four hours ago.

For anyone else wondering, Bitcoin Charts provides a view that will show the low priority transactions that have been announced to the nodes for processing by the miners.  The low priority transactions generally have no fee, and/or have a low amount and/or use for inputs new coins that haven't "matured" by having a high number of confirmations).

Using the latest client (v0.3.21) instead of an ewallet service for sending small amounts will help (if the goal is to not encounter delays), as the client will now let you know when you are sending a low priority transaction.

MyBitCoin.com was down for me a bit ago around 7pm EST, but it has come back and it seems to be working.  A payment was properly forwarded from them around 8pm EST.
