So if it says it's gone, it's really gone and I can't do anything.. correct?

I just opened the client, and I have a transaction of -23.20 to an unknown address (it is not recognized by block explorer), that I did not make. It has 0 confirmations. Will not downloading the block chain do anything? Is there anyway to stop this? Or should I just download it and see what happens? :| EDIT: And I am running on a Mac. EDIT2: Now it is showing up on block explorer. http://blockexplorer.com/address/1KqNXG7wVcuxhB56mCr7mcGG1FqF1RHs7nAm I just screwed?

I am trying to buy .85BTC and I get this error: "Please enter a valid number." Is there a minimum? If so, why?

Well... TH-R1534
Very interested in seeing first hand and real time how competition changes things.

I'm pretty sure I understand the way things work, but can someone please tell me how true these 2 statements are: - No individual, not even Garzik or Gavin, can control/regulate the way the network and transactions actually function. Garzik and Gavin can only release a client with limited functionality.
- Any 3rd party could come along and make a less restricted client if this were to happen.

I'm confused. Don't the default fee rules I posted explain why you were forced to pay a fee?
As for why it took so long to transfer, I have no idea.

Kyoo, this is news to me too, but after looking on the Bitcoin transaction fees page on the wiki, I found out that there are some default fee rules built into the client. One of them is this: 0.01 BTC fee per kilobyte of transaction, but: - If the blocksize (size of all transactions currently waiting to be included in a block) is less than 27 kB, transactions are free.
- If the blocksize is more than 250 kB, transactions get increasingly more expensive as the blocksize approaches the limit of 500 kB. Sending a transaction when the blocksize is 400 kB will cost 5 times the normal amount; sending when it's 499 kB will cost 500x, etc.
That seems like it explains what happened to you, though I am not sure (I have no idea what the state of those two conditions listed are). However it is most likely some sort of default rule in the bitcoin client. To stop these fees, the wiki recommends the free transaction relay policy, but as you can see not many miners are participating.

Well that shows there haven't been any transactions on that address, so if that's the one you entered on the faucet, then it was probably out and never sent them to you.

Try searching http://blockexplorer.com/ for your address. If the faucet transaction shows up, then that would indicate it is indeed your client that has the problem. But if the block chain isn't even recognizing the transaction, it's probably the faucet's problem.

Very cool script hendi. Good job.

It is divisible to 8 decimals, so that's actually 2,100,000,000,000,000 base units.
EDIT: got beat to it

Wait, so how will transactions be verified once all 21M are out?
|
|

Ugh, this thread gives me so much headache.
So many people have explained where the value comes from. Stop saying nobody has.
-_-

OK, thanks a lot for the reply.

I just transferred 5 BTC over to MtGox earlier today, then less than an hour later it started becoming impossible to go on. And they never showed up in my balance.
Am I going to lose those bitcoins?
