It is the newest version of the bitcoin client for windows, I downloaded and installed it before those last three hung transactions, but after the oldest one.  As for PeerBlock, yes, I've noticed it blocking a great many bitcoin connections, but always to networks known to be running Anti-Peer to Peer software.  But, anyway, it's disabled right now, I'll if that helps, I will let bitcoin run for a few days without Peerblock doing anything at all.  The firewall is set to not block bitcoin, and the router has a port forwarded, so everything should be just peachy.

Me too, same thing, I have Four payments sitting in limbo.  I'll copy my message over to this thread!

I now have FOUR transactions that are hung, bitcoin is apparently unaware of them because they haven't been announced, or it is ignoring them.  The block explorer does not show these transactions having been processed either.  That's 40 bitcents in limbo now, plus the processing fees.  What do I do?  Is there a way to find out what is going on?!  I really wish there was a way to save the transaction history as a spreadsheet, I can't even copy/paste the entries to something else.  The bitcoin application is not accurately calculating the balance.  The unconfirmed, limbo, payments have all been deducted from the balance, even though the network still refuses to do anything with them!



I'm seeing a lot of these but I think that's because I'm using PeerBlock, I've noticed it blocks a Lot of bitcoin connections.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but, I did find errors in the debug.log, I see a LOT of these.


Is there a way to see a live updating console of the debug.log file?  I just want to see the newest entries as they get written, not load the whole file over and over again in a text editor.

I guess you want more information.

And the really really old supposedly double spent one that is still hanging around on my bitcoin client, http://blockexplorer.com/address/1KWCfAWnxCreasVqBWRgT5aQ1zeWsUorkb, has a totally empty ledger. How was it double spent again? I don't know, but I do know all four of these happened while I was playing around with Bitcoin Darts. I think I will stop playing with it.

http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/ shows nothing about any of these transactions, unless searching for them by the send to address is not the way to look them up on that page.  Do you want me to upload my Entire debug.log file somewhere, would that help?  I wish I could see more info about announcements, or attempts to announce, and what nodes are accepting announcements and what nodes are not.  Is there some way I can kickstart stalled announcements?!

*bump*

Can you see my post Now???

What if I pay you 10 bitcents to fix my problem?  I'm offering a bounty of 10 bitcents to help me.  Sure, it's not much, but I'm poor.

I've got the bitcoin screensavers installed, but only the 4way or CPU ones are working.  Even though I've successfully got OpenCL installed, the OpenCL screensaver crashes every time.  poclbm is setup and working just fine, so, I Think OpenCL is working for mining... but, I could be wrong.  Help please?

If there was a way to copy text from the bitcoin client directly into something else, like a spreadsheet, then it would be easy to verify the calculations, without human error.  I've done the best I can, and I can't see where I've made any errors in my transcription into a spreadsheet.  Therefore I think there is an error in the bitcoin client somehow.

Yes.  Which is a negative transaction, not a positive, so it shouldn't have caused the spreadsheet's balance to be higher by 0.10, but rather lower by 0.10, than the bitcoin client's calculation.  I'm still confused.

I just did the calculations manually, by inputting numbers into a spreadsheet and having it calculate for me.  According to my spreadsheet my balance should be 1.46, my bitcoin client says it is 1.36.  If it were not including that unconfirmed transaction of -0.10, then why is it 0.10 less in the bitcoin client's balance, than it is in my spreadsheet?  Shouldn't it be the other way around, my spreadsheet reporting 0.10 less in the balance than the bitcoin client's balance calculation?  As far as I've been able to tell I put all the numbers in correctly.  There are exactly 73 transactions, and all of them are put into the appropriate cells using the All Transactions list.  I'm confused.

I really wish this client allowed me to copy everything easily into a spreadsheet.

So, even though it says -0.10 in my transactions list, it actually doesn't get included in the Balance until there are confirmations?

Ooooh... Well, how do I clear it up?  My bitcoin client thinks I spent that money, doesn't it?

I don't understand that last question.  My client is running, it's downloading blocks, lots of stuff has been confirmed many times, including stuff that happened after that one that I'm talking about... it's just this one transaction that is stuck for some reason.

Uh, here is the dump:

I could not copy/paste the text, for some reason the application never lets me do that.

For some reason, one of my outgoing transactions has simply never been verified by anyone, even though transactions that took place after that one have a whole bunch of confirmations.  My bitcoin application is still downloading lots of blocks.  I don't get it.  Is there some way to get help to get this transaction processed?

0\Unconfirmed 3/21/2011 19:10 To:1KWCfAWnxCreasVqBWRgT5aQ1zeWsUorkb  -0.10

Stuff is downloading, stuff is uploading, but this one thing just won't do anything.  Should there be some kind of time limit imposed on transactions being processed, and if they aren't processed in that time period, they get canceled or something?

I have a friend who, for years, thought the Internet was called Netscape.  It was incredibly hard for me to convince him that Netscape is just the name of a web browser, that there are plenty of browsers out there, and that the World Wide Web of pages he thinks is the Internet is actually only one Aspect of what the Internet actually is.  It was a major pain.

As for bitcoin printing, I just can't do all that work getting this stuff running.  Once you guys iron out all the kinks and get all this stuff solidly figured out, you have to make it easy for the village idiot to use, and that would probably mean a Windows program, or an iPhone app, or something.  Good luck with that, I'll be waiting with extreme excitement.

I am looking into Witcoin, and I'm liking it so far, except for the sexting messages that pop up on the main page.  O.O  Uhm.... anyway, I like the overall concept of spending bitcents to do things like post messages, reply to messages, and vote up messages.   Since I'm dirt poor, I don't like the idea of spending everything I have if no one will read and reply to my own posts.  Usually get a lot of replies to my posts on other sites, I'm very active, and draw a lot of activity from others.  If I could earn bitcents for that, cool.

As long as I have to live in this capitalist system, which I dislike, I want Bitcoin to be my primary currency!

If anyone is planning to do anything illegal to earn bitcoins, as in graffiti on buildings, they must be very careful.  For instance, don't post on an open board like this one, your IP can be tracked, etc.  Instead, post on Frost or Freenet Message System, which are board/message systems that use Freenet to send/receive messages anonymously.  I don't think anyone will be prosecuted for defacing USD slightly, as long as the important bits are still intact.

I wonder if there could be a shorthand for a bitcoin address, like the url shortening services out there.  If you could shorten it a bunch, maybe you could write a bitcoin address on a USD bill along with "Bitcoin, a better currency!".  Then whoever sees that bill might donate a little to the bitcoin address they found on the bill.   Bitcoin addresses are anonymous, right?  They aren't easily traced to IP addresses or specific bitcoin clients, right?

I'm not a coder, or developer, and I am feeling lost here.  Sure, I downloaded stuff to install on linux that will enable me to print a certain amount of bitcoins in paper form, but I have not installed all these packages and run the python application.  Even if I did, is there another application for Reading a bill and then inserting the data into a wallet.dat?  If I manually insert data into a wallet.dat, how would I actually do it?  I've looked at the contents of my wallet.dat file, it's a confusing jumble of Hex stuff to me.  Until you developer types come up with an Easy tool to use to both print, and read, these Bitcoin bills, I think I'm going to be too lost to even attempt it.  Someone please develop a linux Package, that installs all the dependencies, or something.  Sheesh.

I went to the website and uploaded a fresh wallet containing only .20 BTC, and it quickly gave me a PDF file, and some other file I don't know what to do with.  I like the PDF, and printed it.  Very cool.

Well, I'm feeling pretty stupid.  The screensaver NPC miner I've been using only jumps up to about 250 - 300 khash/s if I am only using one monitor, it plummets to 1 or 2 khash/s on dual Extended Desktop mode.   And absolutely nothing I do works with OpenCL, it crashes every time.  I'm going to get rid of ATI Stream, it's totally worthless.  And since my old Intel Centrino Pentium M 1.4ghz is pretty darn useless for pool mining, and I can't get anything at all to use the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 GPU, I'm going to abandon mining all together.

You're right, such a low khash/s rate is practically worthless, but I have no intention of having this computer be a Dedicated miner.  As long as it's doing a little bit now and then, I'm happy with that.  And I did switch it back to only 1 thread, after finally getting OpenCL support installed.  It is now averaging 250 khash/s, which I know is still really small, but whatever.  I want the computer to do Something rather than sit there displaying pictures, or something unproductive like that.  Mostly this computer runs P2P stuff.  So, whatever energy may be wasted on such a small amount of mining capability, is not wasted at all on the other things I have it doing.  So, it's OK with me.

Hello, this is the longest thread I can remember seeing, Ever.  Wow...  Uhm... I am using a screensaver to do work in the pool, the 4way one, not the other three in the package.  Once, a few days ago, I noticed it said it had found a block, I was like Cool.  I haven't seen that before, or since.  I saw on the website that I got a reward equal to about 1/3 of a bitcent.  LOL  Is there any way I can improve the khash/s processing without totally hanging my CPU?  I know people have been using GPU miners, but I don't know how I can possibly get one working with my laptop's ATI Mobility Radeon 7500.

I've tried in the past to get newer, better, drivers for my graphics card, and it always messes things up until I manage to get Windows Update to fix the problem.  So, I would really rather not go searching around the internet for what will probably just screw things up again.  Is there a way to Install OpenCL support, without having to get different drivers for my graphics card?  If I had OpenCL support already, would the screen saver miner be able to get a lot more khash/s done via the GPU and not use so many CPU threads?

Right now it is set to use 25 CPU threads, and khash/s is about 85 to 100.  If I set many more CPU threads the computer will hang and crash.

I think I may have found he solution to my problem just now, but I'm not sure yet as I'm still downloading.  According to this site, http://www.heatonresearch.com/encog/opencl/install/encog-opencl-java.html, I need AMD APP SDK to get OpenCL 1.1 support installed for my AMD/ATI video card.  But the file the AMD site told me to download is being called ATI Stream SDK, which is the old name for it, I think.  So I'm downloading ATI Stream, and hopefully I'll get the right DLLs and such.

Ok, I have good news and bad news. After installing AMD Stream SDK, and rebooting just because I thought it would help, the screensaver OpenCL miner does recognize that there is an OpenCL DLL and stuff, but the darn thing crashes every time I try it.   But the good news is that when I run the 4way miner, with just 1 CPU thread, it is getting well over 250khash/s, a massive improvement.  I don't understand how, but it is somehow processing better.  So, Yay!

I have no OpenCL support on my Gateway 450ROG with ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 laptop running Windows XP Pro, 32 bit.  As far as I can tell, I guess I can't run a GPU miner.  I tried downloading one, but it's only got linux programs in the zip file I downloaded, nothing for windows.  So, I don't get it.  I guess I'll just keep using the RPC Miner screensaver I downloaded and got working.
