I sent this at 9:03 AM PST, and now it's 4:15 PST. I can't find the transaction on either one of these sites:
http://blockexplorer.com/http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/My bitcoin client clearly shows -3.40 that was withdrawn.
The status is still "0/unconfirmed". I only have 8 connections, and turned on port forwarding to 9 connections.
Right after I "sent" my transaction, I closed my client immediately.
Should I just continue waiting or is there something wrong? Should I leave my client open until I get at least 1 confirmation when sending?
