It seems to have fixed itself after I updated Ubuntu. Still have no idea what caused it. Thanks for all the help!

"Miner failed to start. Make sure you have the minerd executable and libraries in the same directory as Litecoin-Qt."
I keep getting that error whenever I try to start mining. The weird thing is that I HAVE the executable there, I just got the new version to make sure. The miner was working fine a few days ago, then suddenly it went kaput. I've finally been so frustrated that I posted here, does anyone know a fix for this? I run Ubuntu 12.10. My two other miners on Windows work perfectly, I've tried chmod in the command line, but maybe I used it wrong or something, because it didn't do anything helpful.

I know this belongs in the alternate cryptocurrencies section, but I'm still limited to this forum. I know I have the correct Linux minerd executable in the same folder as litecoin (I run Ubuntu 12.10), but it doesn't recognize it. Same problem with another computer that runs 32-bit windows, but that's not the main issue, the Ubuntu PC is. What's causing this, and how can I fix it?

Hey, it's me again!  I was wondering, how come every time I start my miner (I mine at Eclipse MC), it mines for about 30 mins then stops, saying "warning: job finished; miner is idle"? It doesn't prevent me from mining, it's just annoying how I can't mine overnight because of this. I use GUIMiner, and I've got a (crappy) Intel 4000 GPU |

Where would I find that on bitcoin-qt?
The posts above provide some insight but I am wondering how you can be "absolutely sure" your copy of the blockchain is complete and yet not know what is the most current block you have downloaded.  I'm sure because there's no download bar and it doesn't say (out of sync). It says the most recent block is block 215520, as of this post, so it's definitely got the entire blockchain. Ok so does the transaction not show in the client at all? If so verify the address is in your list of transactions. You didn't by any chance send the coins to an address in your address book (other people's addresses). Assumming the tx is not listed in the client and it is a correct address you may need to restart the client using --rescan option (sorry there is no option in the GUI). Close the client, open command prompt/console and enter It will take a little longer than normal before the GUI appears (it is rescanning the blockchain to look for tx involving your keys). For windows you will need to ensure you are in the folder where bitcoin is installed. By default C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\
It worked!! I got my bitcoins back! Thanks a ton! |

Ok, so we've established that 16VjoCnqs438CyvcSSh6KGKLYMLZt7UDo9 is an address in the receive coins tab of your wallet, and that you wallet has caught up synchronizing. As I see it, this leaves 2 possibilities. - Somehow Bitcoin-Qt missed the transaction and failed to add it to your total, or
- The transaction has been added to your total, and you didn't notice that the current balance already reflects this fact.
I have to say that typically with issues like this the second possibility ends up being what has happened, but there is always the chance that this time is different. I suppose you could try a rescan. . . That shouldn't hurt anything, and if the Bitcoin-Qt client missed the transaction somehow the first time, it might catch it with the rescan. I know for a fact that's not the case, because the balance is 0. |

If the address you intended to send it to was 16VjoCnqs438CyvcSSh6KGKLYMLZt7UDo9, then everything is fine, because that's where the money went.
Are you using the bitcoin-qt client? If so, then you won't see the transaction in your wallet until you have downloaded the entire blockchain. That could take a while.
I sent it to that address for sure, and it was the correct address; I double checked it in my receiving addresses section. I am using the bitcoin-qt client, and the blockchain's is for sure completely downloaded. The coins are just not in my wallet. Being offline does not prevent you from receiving coins, however they will not show up in your wallet until your client has finished synchronising (ie, downloading transactions that occurred while it was offline). If your client has not finished synchronising (the current version will display (out of sync) if this is the case) and it is missing recent transactions, this is almost certainly the cause. Note that this process will take several minutes depending on how long you've been offline (assuming it was already fully synchronised before you went offline, otherwise it will take much longer, even up to a few days if it was never previously synchronised), so if you're just opening the client to check your balance and then closing it immediately, that won't give it enough time. You must leave it open until it is finished. I was trying to post a bitly link to the transaction on blockchain, ironically enough.
Please don't use URL shorteners. This forum isn't Twitter, there's nothing wrong with posting long URLs. URL shorteners are considered suspicious by the forum software since there's no way to know (short of actually clicking on them) where they lead. Sorry, I just liked using bitly, it makes the post look shorter/neater/less like a looming wall of text |

I'm pretty sure you guys get 100 of these a day, but I looked at the FAQ, and waited for a day or so, and nothing happened. I look in the blockchain, and the transaction has over 430 confirmations. The coins were sent to me while I was offline, so that could be why they never showed. How come the bitcoins didn't show up in my wallet? Here's the transaction: http://[Suspicious link removed]/UuFXou
It's a trivial amount of bitcoins, but it's really a matter of principle.
