Newbie - 0.8.6 Help!!!

[jtm687]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Jim. I joined this forum looking for help with my bitcoin-qt 0.8.6 upgrade. I downloaded and installed the upgrade from the 0.8.5 version and all went well. The only issue i am having now is that my wallet will not update the block chain and the wallet displays " Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade." I downloaded and installed the update on the release date. Am i doing something wrong?

Thank you for your help!

You could try starting Bitcoin-Qt with the -rescan option.  This will cause a rescan of the blockchain and should pick up any missed transactions.  This is a lengthy process, so be patient.

Remember to remove the option after it is done so that you don't do the rescan each time you start the client.
