OMG. this thread is really growing huge!

is they showing up at mtgox?

it appears when it confirmed, and included in a block.

it might just be a miner who dont wants to include transactions... i dont know
it is also likely that there was no transactioins, between the last block and this, there was only 30s between them

+1

the client will not accept a block with a lower difficulty, then it takes to generate a block on avg. 10 min.
there will be on avg. 1 block per 10 min, at some difficulty. but if there are generated more blocks for 10 min. the clients will adjust the difficulty, so there will be generated a block per 10 min, again. if it takes more time the oppsite will happen: slow block generation -> lower difficulty.

hoped it helped

can they be used for some sort of lending pool for start up projects?
some kind of bitcoin fund?

i did not expect to get btc in return, it was ment as a joke. it was to bring the amount of work down, i do answering noob questions.

you are right, its is a very common problem, i answer this question a few times a day, that is why i made the post.

Felling worried because of your transactions is not showing up?
Well maybe you should download the blockchain!

You might ask how do i download this chain?
It happens automatically! just wait!
You can see how much you have downloaded is the down right corner of your client:

(this pic might be outdated, the current block count is available here: http://blockexplorer.com/q/getblockcount )

You will not receive any transactions before you have downloaded the whole blockchain.
It is most likely why your transactions don't show up.

yes images should be allowed in signatures, but they must not be annoying.
im only suggesting two rules to follow to be un-annoying:
1. should not be animated.
2. should not be too large.

if/when a hacker finds and exploits a flaw in the scripting that does he can empty all accounts.
its done before, but not exploited.

... semantics but, not right still cant access the encrypted part without the key.

oh i did not read the post well enough, my fault.

okey then it will require root rights and the wallet user to login. it a hacker could possible do it.
its is only as safe as the OS then. but still not safe enough.

its secure enough to fool your sister, but not a hacker or trojan or government agency .

good idea but will only pay 0.02 btc/day for it

yes its good.

nice +1

im finding it interesting that you are quoting answers.com are you serious?

okey then a more serriose answer: mtgox has crashed. people are nervouse, and they dont know to sell or buy.
when trading resumes on mtgox, we will maybe see many panic trades, the price will go up and down, for a few days, who knows.
then when people has chilled a little off, the price will maybe rise again.

it is more the difficulty that follows the price, and not the other way around.
becuase when prices goes up more people will mine, and therefor the difficulty will rise.
and if the price goes down the difficulty will fall, because it will not be profitable for the miners to continue.

there is also many merchants who takes btc as payment.
and the speculators also have something to say about the price.
"panic" noobs who just wants bitcoins, who did buy at $36, when anyone else was selling.
all this factors has alot more to say about the price then mining.

it is not about mining, it about the economy.
if you think price=difficulty, then you are a noob.

sorry for calling you a noob before.
