Anyone having any issues with getting transactions through? I sent one earlier today took about ~10-15 mins for first transaction. Now I've been sitting at 40 minutes still not one confirmation and the transaction ID doesn't show up in the block explorer?
You can do an easy test at freebitcoins.com and get a small payment from the faucet. If that shows up in your wallet, the network is working fine.
Thanks I'll try. Original transaction still hasn't got a single confirmation..
Where are you sending from? If it's not in the block explorer, there is a good chance it hasn't been broadcast to the network. In which case something is going on at the sender.
I sent it from the qt like I did earlier today. But just this one isn't confirming, I've tried restarting it and nothing is working. Worried about losing the coins now.
chilly2k is basically spot on with his advice.
Ensure you have connections to some peers, so that the transaction has a means to get out to the network.
If the CLAM shows as still attributed to your pubkey/address, then there should be nothing to be concerned about.
Worst case, you have to rescan and/or resync and send again (assuming the above).
