Recieving bitcoins to bitcoin client wallet

How long does it take?

[MattscheAN]

If your Client is up and loaded the blockchain completly - wich takes a long time, some hours - often just some minutes, but sometimes longer, to confirm it takes a while.

It depends on if its send with fee or not. Some Experts in this Forum can give you more Details.

If you have the block chain up to date, the payments should appear almost instantly, but it takes time to confirm.

If you re-install bitcoin client and/or have to clear the files because they became corrupted you have to rebuild the block chain which as other uses said takes awhile.

If you just need to confirm if the transaction is sent or not, you can search for it on http://blockexplorer.com while you wait for your client to update.
