Wallet Out of Sync and Bitcoin transfer I bought bitcoins and sent them to the wallet, however the wallet is not synchronized and as a result I cannot see my bitcoins. Will I be able to see them as soon as the synch process finishes or have I lost them? And if I did, is there any way I can recover them?
In case of an offline wallet such as Bitcoin-Qt, you will need to be synchronised/update before you see your wallet balance correctly. The Bitcoin client will download the whole blockchain if it is the first time. Once it has been downloaded and you synchronize daily, it will be much faster to do so.
