Exactly which part did I not explain in sufficient detail...?

I used coinpal to add what i thought would be 20 BTC to my wallet, but somehow the client must have disconnected during the initial blockchain download, and now it can't re-initiate. My (similarly baffled) merchant provided me with some instructions, which I quoted above before noting that they were ineffective.

Which part are you having difficulties with?

Here are instructions I found for re-downloading the blockchain:

 
Quote
* close the Bitcoin client
 * in Finder, open Library/Application Support/Bitcoin inside your home
 directory
 * copy the file wallet.dat to a safe place (don't move it, just copy
 it)
 * delete all other files in this directory (NOT wallet.dat)
 * restart the Bitcoin client

The client will show 0 blocks and will start downloading the blockchain
again.  Once your block count matches the one at bitcionwatch.com your
coins will appear in the balance.

I followed these instructions, still no success. I'm beginning to become very exasperated at the idea that bitcoin has LOST this $13 US of my money forever.

If anyone has a clue how I can recover it, please let me know...  Undecided

I know I didn't purchase anything... Of course I didn't: I'd have to have a balance showing in my client in the first place to even consider that.

My main concern right now is getting the 20.00 BTC that is trapped in said block chain. MULTIPLE client restarts have slowly increased the block count, but only in small, incremental factors and I'd be here until 3 fucking AM restarting the damn thing if I wanted it to finish that way...

There's NO GOOD reason for this to be happening... The transaction record at blockexplorer.com shows it as received.

Honestly I'd just like the ability to purchase the items I'd originally intended ASAP and not have my money trapped in purgatory anymore...!  Huh Undecided
