i just installed the client for bitcoin.org but am unable to get it running. The client i have before is from bitcoins.com i searched for a wallet.dat file but only found wallet.h and wallet.cpp. i sent the webiste and email but im starting to get a little leery with the legitimacy of the site, i noticed theres only about 3 or 4 webpages. im going to restart my comp see if that changes anything.

Is this the address you used? 1Goct84NNkrTt6BYt3vZsooHBWWmXBxuix

Those wallet.(x) files are source code files for the client.
I'm not sure about the linux path to the wallet.dat, but in windows it's c:/users/<user name>/AppData/roaming/Bitcoin. Perhaps linux uses a path similar

~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat

Check your client is actually getting blocks and is in sync with the network.

Again, if using the client from bitcoin.org, you should see a progress bar at the bottom of the window - if that hasn't moved at all then that would explain your issue and you need to check your firewall settings.

The transaction itself is definitely sent and confirmed so this is a local client issue.

He isn't using the satoshi client. He is using this one http://www.bitcoins.com/

In that case i'd defer entirely to the developer site

The main thing is keeping your wallet.dat safe, do this before messing around any further:

cp /home/alex/.bitcoin/wallet.dat /home/alex/wallet.dat.bak

Then store a copy of wallet.dat.bak somewhere safe - so long as you have the private key contained in that file you haven't lost anything.

One thing i'm obligated to say however: BitInstant can not accept liability for any client or wallet issues as our responsibility is fulfilled once the transaction is sent on the bitcoin network and so any support offered here from myself is purely from me personally and not representative of the company.

With that out of the way, if you're still having issues tomorrow and just can't get it to work, get in touch and i'll assist you in switching to an easier to use wallet.

Never heard of bitcoins.com until this came up. For some reason, they link to ancient version of the client on sourceforge. This client is out of date. Try to locate and save your wallet, and move to the legitimate, latest client.

I would use more reliable services like MtGox, CampBX, Coinbase, or a trusted seller on localbitcoins.

Read the thread. He used bitinstant, and he received the coins without any problems. He even received free foot massage here from their representative. The problem is that he was using an outdated client which is likely out of sync with the network, so it doesn't show the transaction. Ultimately, the problem is that bitcoins.com, apparently operated by one of your "reliable" services (tibanne, that is mtgox) is irresponsibly abandoning their website and leaving it with outdated information.

this is what i figured the problem was but the problem with that is there is no wallet.dat file in the client i downloaded. I meant to go to bitcoin.org but i guess i was just tired or something and went to bitcoins.com

Don't delete anything! Download the latest client (0.8.2) and run it. It uses the same data dir and should show your coins once synced to the network.

I opened the new client and it is now synching with the network but its taking forever since i was 116 weeks behind. I hope this works looks more promising than the last client.
