[SOLVED] Newbie frustration - no transactions

[sounds]

This is probably me, but...

I'm running BitcoinQt 0.7.2rc2-beta I read the threads with free Satoshis. The bitcoin client had not yet finished catching up, so I thought, I'll put in for some free satoshis on these sites, but wait a few days to see them in my wallet. Only it has caught up now, and my balance is still 0.00 (with no transactions).

One example: dailybitcoins.org 1YzCWkVD2hAW1ovubVsf3JbjED1qck7sT - I unchecked the box to delay the transaction so shouldn't it have been sent over?

The first thing to do to troubleshoot this kind of problem is go to blockexplorer and see if the transaction exists in the block chain. If you see a transaction, you can also tell what block it was included in. If you have that block, you should see that transaction.

For the example you posted, there is no such transaction yet. http://blockexplorer.com/address/1YzCWkVD2hAW1ovubVsf3JbjED1qck7sT

Ok! That's a pretty useful tool.

Thanks
