By the way, by far the most common support request I have at my pool is<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
users withdrawing coins and not seeing it in their wallet because it&#39;s<br>
not up-to-date with the block chain. Might be worth adding something in<br>
the bitcoin-qt GUI to make it more obvious that users can&#39;t see new<br>
transactions and why.<br></blockquote><div><br>For 0.7 we&#39;ve added a red &quot;(out of sync)&quot; warning to the balances when the block chain is out of date.<br><br>However, due to the design of the protocol there is a large variance in block timings, and it is not possible to determine up-to-date status with certainty, so quite a large safety margin is used. To be precise the warning is shown when the last received block was generated more than 90 minutes ago. <br>
