The user do not know that blocks needed to be download before using it.
Therefore, I am proposing that the client check other clients or the web for information about the number of blocks downloaded and then warn the user that recent transaction will not show up until all the blocks are downloaded.

I agree with this. I started another thread on this earlier too so this must be important. |

All it needs is for a message to pop up if there's no block chain present when the client starts up. It could say something like: "Bitcoin is downloading a local copy of the transaction block chain. This can take several hours. When the download is complete, your transactions will be visible." |

Bitcoin has hardcoded block checkpoints and may warn if the last checkpointed block has not been downloaded.

If you found my post helpful, feel free to send a small tip to 1QGukeKbBQbXHtV6LgkQa977LJ3YHXXW8B Visit the BitCoin Q&A Site to ask questions or share knowledge. 0.009 BTC too confusing? Use mBTC instead! Details at www.em-bit.org or visit the project thread to help make Bitcoin prices more human-friendly. |
