Small problem

July 13, 2011, 06:59:51 AM

Okay I may have done something stupid. I had the bitcoin client installed in Mac OS X but I mined bitcoins using Windows with bootcamp. So I thought I might as well shift my client to Windows. Now instead of copying the wallet.dat file like I should have I transferred the coins to the windows client from the Mac one. But now they can't be online at the same time and so my transaction isn't going through. Is there some way to solve this? Huh

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Did you use a transaction fee? Does blockexplorer show the transfer (i.e. was it broadcasted)

Also, don't mine with the bitcoin client, you will probably never get a block at current difficulty using a cpu

Yes I did give a transaction fee. No I don't mine with the client, I mine with poclbm. I just wanted to have the client in Windows so I could manage transactions while mining.

Would it help if I moved the wallet.dat from one of the clients to a netbook I have and start the client on that? So that both of them would be online together.

just wait! you will be fine.

put the mac back online, and wait for comfirmations. the bitcoin client will rebroadcast unconfirmed transactions every 30min.
when it haves at least 1 comfirmation. put the windows computer online, and wait for it to downloading the blocks.

just wait, you will be fine.
