Uh ok Bitcoin Client doesn't work ... ?

[bbit]

Ok....so if people can't receieve transactions how is Bitcoins going to work ?

Grant it I'm at a University so could be a firewall but here is the story....

I got tips sent to me to my payment address nothing has shown up in 3 days.... :/

I did get some from the free faucet of 0.02 which did arrive but I wanted to send it to mybitcoin.com  so I did and it hasn't arrived :/

seems like bitcoins is flawed to me ?

My info is:  0 connections / 128223 blocks / 2 transactions

how is bitcoin going to go mainstream if people can't use it ?

It's probably your university firewall blocking it. I'm in the UK and it's working fine for me. If you can connect through your mobile phone, give that a try.

When you say mobile phone you mean the bitcoin client or  mybitcoin.com   ?

I mean the bitcoin client. Your uni is probably filtering the ports it needs to make connections and download blocks. If coins aren't transferring to mybitcoin.com then maybe you entered the wrong address? It shouldn't take more than a few hours max to confirm.

Try the following:

Code:

bitcoin -noirc -addnode=122.103.238.28 -addnode=24.63.84.124 -addnode=76.123.179.75 -addnode=204.62.14.42

You are not connected to the network.
If you're on 32 bit system, open cmd and run:

Code:

cd c:\program files\bitcoin

Code:

bitcoin.exe -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=64.22.103.150 -addnode=173.242.112.53 -addnode=178.79.147.99 -addnode=184.106.111.41 -addnode=91.85.220.84 -addnode=173.224.125.222 -addnode=86.5.50.90

if it's 64bit system replace "program files" with "program files (x86)"
