will i have to launch that command line each time i want to open the client for now?
if you use terminal app only to start bitcoin.app then all you need to do is hit the "up" arrow and it will display the command (from the terminal history file) and just press enter. the up arrow is a cool idea except that i have to enter "cd desktop" first. i'm quite sure you don't need to do cd desktop. just type the whole path to bitcoin executable first followed by the -addnode part as a one line command. worked for me this way (open terminal, hit arrow up & enter) |

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

I have a nice shiny 114 connections.  What did you change to allow you to get more than eight connections? |

On Tor network you won't have as many connections as on the normal Internet because there simply aren't that many peers

I made a transaction a few hours ago with .01 fee and it is 0/unc, not in any block in blockexplorer and not in the list of unconfirmed tx at bitcoincharts. I did not look to see if I had connections at the time I sent it. I am bouncing between 1 and 2 connections now. I'm guessing that I had none or a dead end when I sent and no one has heard about my tx, is that probably what happened? It will rebroadcast forever, right?
edit: Already in the unconfirmed list. I have 3 connections now. I should mention that I did restart the computer and didn't turn Bitcoin on right away so this didn't really take several hours, not sure exactly how long, but at least 15 minutes after I got the computer back on.

You could try a rescan. I'm not sure how to do this on windows but using a linux box its /path/to/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoin -rescan

on windows XP it would be: click start click run type: cmd hit enter in the command line type: cd\program files\bitcoin hit enter then type bitcoin -rescan hit enter i have been trying all day to get bitcoin to receive more blocks with no luck. i have disabled windows security center and shut down the virus protection software, added 8333 port, -addnode'd 6 IPs, and still no luck. getting 8 (only 8 ) connections but no new blocks... is there something else to try? or is it possibly dsl? (it has been wonky all day) |

(it has been wonky all day) You need to open/forward port 8333 on your router If you have already 8 connections it should be just a matter of time To try a quick fix, you could download the whole blockchain manually and then copy it to your Roaming\Bitcoin folder.

Well, 8 connections is usually a sign of port 8333 being closed. Which protocol did you open 8333 port on your computer, TCP or UDP? Try opening both

opened it with UDP, doesn't seem to help. still only 8 connections. and no new blocks. edit: i am mapping these ports in "Network Connections" and I checked the box in the Bitcoin GUI for "Map port using Upnp" is there another step i am leaving out? |

I'm not overly familiar with XP. You should open ports in your firewall in XP - I'm not sure if it's under "Network Connections"

okay, solved my "no new blocks coming in" problem by uninstalling bitcoin, erasing the database folder, and reinstalling bitcoin. ::shrug:: sometimes you just have to use a sledgehammer...

On a 32bit system you do something like: cd c:\program files\bitcoin bitcoin.exe -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=64.22.103.150 -addnode=173.242.112.53 -addnode=178.79.147.99 -addnode=184.106.111.41 -addnode=91.85.220.84 -addnode=173.224.125.222 -addnode=86.5.50.90 -addnode=178.255.199.86 |
