Hello,

What happens if someone sends you bitcoins and your bitcoin client or bitcoind is offline? If the receiving address is not there what happens to the transfer? Does it get bounced back, how does the network handle this eventuality....just curious Smiley

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Bitcoin is a distributed database of transactions. The coins dont "really exist".

When your client connects to the network it will download the last transactions and will see the received coins. You dont have to have an active client to receive bitcoins.
