So because I got sort of scammed by virwox I had to buy 0,044 BTC in order to withdraw my money fro there. So i downloaded bitcoin core and clicked on request pay and put the receiving code in virwox to get my payment. Not knowing anything about bitcoins I asked support for help on why I didn't receive my bitcoins.The operator linked me to a page on https://blockchain.info and said that probably my client has not yet read the whole block chain yet. I checked bitcoin core and it doesn't say anything about "reading the block chain". But in the bottom of the client something like syncing with the net (1 year and 33 weeks), is it going to take that long?? Please help, I don't want to lose my money)

Yes, Maybe you won't lose your money. You must wait for Bitcoin Core sync full with the network. It's just take you 3-4 more days if your computer

open 24/24 and connecting with network or longer time if you do not open it continiously.

For example: https://blockchain.info/vi/address/1H3JU9qpNgQ5B4wSNzVQQAb48YSLsT28HX

1H3JU9qpNgQ5B4wSNzVQQAb48YSLsT28HX = received address

You can take place that address by your address and then check it. if you see 0.044 BTC there. It means that your money still in that.

Or you can leave your address here. Everyone will help you to understand for better.
