Ok. Thank you! I'll contact the person sending the coins. I restarted my client before and the transaction was still there...Thanks again!

Bump...5 hours and blockchain has no record of the transaction: http://blockchain.info/search/2176854c0ed2e2a8e6c2f4aeb429e4548452ba59088cc63ff36634cdeae062a4

Is it usual for the transaction hash not to show up in the blockchain block explorer until it has been confirmed? Here: http://blockchain.info/search/2176854c0ed2e2a8e6c2f4aeb429e4548452ba59088cc63ff36634cdeae062a4

If this is an April fools joke...not funny Satoshi Nakamoto

@mpfrank I do not control the wallet the bitcoins were sent from. I assumed that since the transaction showed up in my wallet that it had to be in the btc network and it would only be a matter of time before it was confirmed....I'll have to have a closer look at your suggestion though. I'm not sure if I fully understand.

If, by sync, you mean downloaded all the previous blocks, then yes. Here is a screen shot to show you. http://imgur.com/iokGRz7

I don't think the transaction I am referring to is listed there. I had an incoming and outgoing transaction of the same amount (2.44) in that wallet yesterday, but this is a third and separate one. Here is all the info my wallet tells me about this specific transaction:

Status: 0/unconfirmed
Date: 4/1/2013 14:22
From: unknown
To: 15s17qYWvj9vTJrjKnywGPiduM7NvbhNx7 (own address)
Credit: 2.439 BTC
Net amount: +2.439 BTC
Transaction ID: 2176854c0ed2e2a8e6c2f4aeb429e4548452ba59088cc63ff36634cdeae062a4

It looks as though blockchain doesn't see that transaction ID at all.... Thanks for your help so far!

Just curious, where do you see 150 confirmations? My wallet says 0/6. Thanks!

I was wondering if it is common to see zero confirmations for a transaction after over two hours. I did not include any transaction reward, but I have never had any issues with that before. Quite a few blocks have been found and the transaction wasn't confirmed in any of them  . Should I be worried? Here is the wallet address if it helps:

15s17qYWvj9vTJrjKnywGPiduM7NvbhNx7

Transaction ID:
2176854c0ed2e2a8e6c2f4aeb429e4548452ba59088cc63ff36634cdeae062a4

If anyone could put my mind at ease, that would be great. 2.44 btcs is a lot these days...

Cheers!

Yea, It's pretty urgent, trying to find someone who can show good rep and what not. Yea I'v had offers from people who only have a few posts and no transaction histories which I'm not willing to work with, Just looking for a smooth trusty transaction. The urgency detours me from using escrow, but that may be the only option unless someone reputable comes my way.

But I appreciate the for warning, I won't let my urgency translate to vulnerability, but I will pay over Mt.Gox rates so it's a chance for someone reputable to make a few bucks

created a new post which is more clear and detailed, sorry I made this one on a a phone in a rush, you are right It's quite unclear, here is a link to the new post.

please get back to me asap if your interested, looking for sellers who can show good reputation, I can also show my own record of smooth transactions and good rep.

Hey I'm trying to find someone with good forum reputation to sell me about $250 worth of BTC (we can work out a fair exchange rate, obviously willing to go over Mt.gox a bit) I have numerous smooth transactions through these forums and have never had a faulty transaction, Let me know f your willing to sell and can show me some good rep, I can load the MoneyPak within 30 minutes after we figure out a deal, once you get the info you send the BTC, must be trusted seller with rep since I will be giving you the MoneyPak before you give me the coins, I'v got links to many posts showing that all my deals go smoothly, please get back to me ASAP, trying to have coins by the end of the day. Shoot me some offers, trying to spend $225-$300 depending on what kind of offers I get, thanks.

Iv got 200-300 usd I want to turn into btc ill have an exact number by the end of the day just wondering who would be willing to trade for moneypak

Yep, after a few transactions with thaddeusB I can honestly say he is the one of the nicest, most trustworthy, and speedy people to do business with. Always very professional but still very chill and understanding. Thanks so much ThaddeusB you make my life a lot easier, your the man.

Title says it all, I'v done numerous smooth transactions here just need $300 in BTC, ill send money via dwolla, Post here or PM with offers, thanks.

The problem was my client was out of date and it was a bugged version that was unable to download new blockchains,

I backed up my wallet.dat and downloaded the newest version of the bitcoin wallet client, waited about a day for all the blockchains to be downloaded and then copied my backed up wallet.dat into the new clients directory, then started a rescan and the coins showed up instantly.

ThaddeusB was awesome, very smooth transaction on his end, good communication, fair prices, and fast transaction, would definitely recommend this guy.

the thing is it's stuck at 167,000 and its not a fairly new wallet, in fact its very old, like 3 years old, I'v started a re-scan of the blockchain but I was given a new address in the process, hopefully the coins will show up once it gets up to 200,000 or so, got my fingures crossed

I'v used to plenty of times, Just not in the past few months, I think i figured out what's wrong though my wallets block chain is at like 167000, which is very low.

If anyone knows how to safely fix this please let me know!

Hello I recently purchased some coins from someone on the forum, its been almost 24 hours and the coins have not shown up in my wallet.

My client is out of date, could this be the problem? If i update my client will the coins be lost somewhere in the internet forever? If someone knows what the problem may be please help

Purchased 5.62 coins from ThaddeusB last night around 12:30AM central,

He gave me this tracking number  https://blockchain.info/address/12A4Zz28AZKptJLLYkcbwrvNy6YbicSv8Z

the coins have to show up in my wallet, my wallet has not been updated in a long time could this be an issue?
