You guys are awesome. I couldn't wait, so I created an electrum wallet, got my money and spent it. lol

Thanks again. I guess it was simple when you know what to do.

The memory is not issue. Capacity of you HDD matters ... blockchain is quite big (I have 90GB on my HDD at the moment) and all this you have to download. Do not watch the remaining weeks because it is going to grow slower and slower.

Google and youtube can help you a lot with the private key extraction and if not just come back to us. Good luck.

Yes, I meant 5 gigs left on my HDD. I am guessing that won't be enough since only about 70 gigs used so far.

Thanks for all the advice. I feel much better. I was getting ready to cry over my lost $$.  Grin

I will wait another 24 hours and see how the synch is coming. Currently 14 weeks remaining but only about 5 gigs left of memory. Maybe if it doesn't work I will ask for help getting the lite wallet and exporting the key. (Not sure how to do either of this things)

On an aside note: I received a private message from some one offering to help me if I send them my: wallet.dat or private key.

Is it safe to send them this info?

NO. NO. NO!!!

Never ever send those things to another person.

Who had tried such scam? Provide us this scammer name.

This is what I suspected. I will happily provide the user name: Bettwarm

may i know where you're purchase bitcoin? because usually bitcoin transactions cannot be cancelled and because your wallet still not finished synchronizing and then transactions will not showing up yet and i think you will get your bitcoin after your wallet finished to synchronizing and maybe it took more than 1 week

Hi, yes I purchased them at this website: https://www.bitcoin.com/buy-bitcoin. The credit card transaction went through Simplex . So my question is what happens if my wallet cannot finish synchronizing?

Ok. I will admit that I am an idiot, so I won't need constant reminders here   Huh

I wanted to make a purchase using bitcoins. I have never used them before. I have no experience or knowledge. I downloaded a wallet from Bitcoin Classic. While it was synchronizing I used my credit card to purchase $500 of bitcoin.

It has been more than a week and my wallet has not finished synchronizing and I have run out of memory twice. I can erase nothing more from my comp and I don't think my wallet will finish synchronizing. During this time, I have read about other ways of doing this (light wallets, torrent downloads, etc.)

What can I do? Where are my coins or money? Can I possibly get a refund, cancel this download and get the coin in a different wallet?

Help please. I am also technologically challenged.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond.
