bitcoin qt -> coinbase trnxs not showing up after 34 conf

[Troll Toll]

Mods, if this is in the wrong place, please move accordingly.

I am getting very worried. I sent 1 btc to my coinbase account to confirm everything was working correctly. After Coinbase received the 1 btc, I sent 99 btc from my bitcoin qt to my coinbase account 34 blocks ago and nothing is showing up. not on coinbase, not on blockchain.info, nowhere.

is this normal? I am 100% I sent the btc to my own account. What is going on.

Running into this problem for the first time, please help! What do I do?

According to the log that is 0 confirmations, not 34. It just means your tx hasn't been placed in a block yet. The network is probably overwhelmed right now.

Trust me, you will not lose your coins.

Did you pay a fee?

coinbase just alerted me that it got the btc. Everything is fine!

phew! yea, ive been bitcoining for two years now and it's never taken this long. normally I wouldnt have a heart attack like this but with the price so high, that was ~20 grand in cyberspace!

praise satoshi!

time to sleep

i did not pay a fee, but I still expected this to go through before 37 blocks. is this even normal without a tx fee for 37 blocks? that seems extreme.

overall, no faith in the system is lost. Although I do have many more grey hairs. And proudhon, you'd like this, I sent them to sell. SELL.

You are lucky it's just 37 blocks. Some people wait days and more without fees.

Wow, ok. Glad I know now and wont start crying to the forums next time.
