While it's just downloading blocks, it's connected to a ip address from a 'Running Bitcoin Nodes by Region (United States)' site.
connect=

It's the only way I know to prevent all the duplicate block errors?

So it seems if it doesn't use the block # from the connection;
'receive version message: version 70001, blocks=234100,'
and the default # is less than the current highest, then the progress bar isn't displayed.

In the data path, I have files blk0001.dat 2 & 3 and blkindex.dat
all with date/time stamps of before I upgraded to v0.8.1
and it's data looks like it's all in a sub folder \blocks\  all have date/times of after I upgraded.

They're taking up 6gb of HD space, so if they're not needed for v0.8, it shouldn't matter if they're deleted?

It's still have 35 days of blocks to DL...

The [synchronizing with network] progress bar is now missing?

It looked like this until sometime yesterday:

Now it's all blank except for the indicators on the far right,
because it's over block 228000 now?

My last 3 send btc transactions have yet to be confirmed in the Bitcoin-Qt because it's last received block was generated 37 days ago.

They can all be found on blockchain.info

I see that it has in the log file, And it's showing up on blockinfo now.


I guess that's one reason to be sync before sending btc.

These: started showing up in the .log after 5 days.

down to '51 days ago' for last received block... /making progress...

So my transaction was never broadcasted, or if/where it went it was ignored for some reason?

Is there no way to 'rebroadcast'?

[If there's a way to attach images, I'd post screen shots.?]

Today (and other days) the blocks remaining jumps from ~6800 to ~14500,
and now it's at ~6100.

The last;
receive version message: version 70001, blocks=233433
from debug.log
but on the status shows ' of 225430 blocks of transaction history'

Something wrong or just normal?

Or only ~7500 blocks, it jumped up to the 15k number only for a little while today,

I upgraded to 0.8 about 3 weeks ago, and my balance went to 0, as all of last years received transactions changed to unconfirmed and it started DL blocks from a year ago.  Finally enough blocks were DL'd that I had a balance and when I sent it, it went into the twilight-zone.

I sent two transactions via the out of sync v0.7.x, then I saw there was an update.
After updating, nothing but problems.

With ~15,400 blocks remaining / 92 days, it'll be a few weeks until it's close to being in sync.

Is that something different that in the version 0.7.2 ?

The prior transactions sent by the version 0.7.2 worked (just before I upgraded), can be seen on blockchain.info, but haven't been confirmed in the client.

I sent on:
Date: 4/25/2013 06:05
To: 1Ca5HB3FRPLePuikKD6gucT4J4DjGZj2jm
Debit: -0.23 BTC
Transaction fee: -0.027 BTC
Net amount: -0.257 BTC

via Bitcoin v0.8.1-beta :
A LARGE data transaction, (many little receives into one send) 13+ hours ago,
and no sign of it on Blockchain.info so far.  Wallet is out of sync and DL'n blocks...
where would it go?
where could it be?

If you search for this :   "steady trickle of bitcoins"

there's several sites with the same story
/not that I clicked on any/
"So I recently purchased this amazing little program which gives me a slow but steady trickle of bitcoins."...

and seems to have something/? to download,


Anyone know anything about this?

If (during the waiting time)
a viewer could upgrade their prize, for a better prize,
they might spend More time going after the better prizes.? 

vs no time while waiting...

What about a 'Winners' tab, to list the top 10 ? /just the ltrim8? of the btc address/ of the last 24 hours ?

group by btcaddress, sum of prize amount, where datetime < 24 hours ?

Can you add a undo button, so I can go back in time an undo what I did a few minutes ago?)

That's great, good job!

Similar to the DNS system, users would register 'text' to their Btc address,
BTC software would do a lookup with the 'text' for an address,
if found, send the amount to the btc address...?


There's a openbns.com
just for email,

why not phone#, nic-names, names, domain.names, anythangs?

Yes, that's where I saw that in the .003 example (October 21, 2012, 15:22 UTC-5),
the payments page shows .00005,


Could it be something with Firefox an going to a wallet program to copy my address from?


On October 21, 2012, 16:35 UTC-5 today, what I saw was what I got,)
but I copied the address from a notepad text file.
