So apologies for what could very well be a repeat of a previous question but have spent 45mins searching on the forums and now it's time to put a question out there to those more able to understand what's possibly going on.
Set up a MultiBit Wallet last night. Deposited AUD $ into the account at 11 am today. At 5:30 pm there is still no BTC.
This is the first time I've used MultiBit and understand there might be some sync thats needed. Am trying to move over from Bitcoin Qt which is still syncing and thats three days ago. When I start up MultiBit, bottom left screen says
(in red) connecting then after 10-20 sec
(in green) Online with a grey bar about 2 inch (6 cms) in length and then something along the lines of "synchronising with network"
This last about 10 seconds then disappears. But I still have 0 BTC.
So.......when i hover over the grey bar it says "synchronising with network" and if I hover over Online it says:
Number of blocks: 208,008
Date of last block:15 November 2012 18:58
Connected to 4 peer(s)
But.......this hasn't moved in nearly two hours. Is 208,008 all the blocks in the chain? I can confirm through blockexplorer that the BTC has been delivered by SpendBitCoins.
What am i doing wrong, what is going on and what else do the gurus need to know to help?
Running Max OSX 10.6 and MultiBit 0.4.14
Thanks all
I ended up fixing the issue. I reset the blockchain and transaction to the 14th and the coins have come through. It wasn't syncing for some reason and was freezing on the 15th. This time when I hovered over the grey bar it showed details that weren't there earlier.
All fixed however resetting that blockchain without any real feedback was disconcerting.
