Help! Coins not appearing in peercoin wallet after BTC-e transaction

General

Hi there, I’m new so hope I’m posting this in the right place! I’ve only just started buying peercoins, and just tried to transfer a number of coins from BTC-e into my peercoin wallet. The transaction shows up on the blockchain according to http://ppc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/, but the coins are nowhere to be seen.

In addition, my wallet has an error message - WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for the blockchain to download, or notify developers of the issue. Can any of you old peercoin hands cast any light on this or suggest anything I could try? Would be very upset to lose my peercoins on my very first transaction! Thanks for your help.

Ah, please ignore my previous post - the coins arrived! I didn’t realise it would take so long.

Does anyone know how long it takes to show up the coins in the wallet.

I just bought some PPC coins and got them into one wallet and then transferred some portion of the coins to another wallet (second wallet). It has been close to 2 hours and my coins are still not showing up in the wallet. The blockchain entry shows that the coins are in.

Any idea, what might be going wrong here?

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Should get the notification within minutes, 6 confirmations in about an hour.

If it doesn’t show up soon, try to redownload the blockchain. Alternatively, backup your wallet and reinstall PeercoinQT.

If it can be viewed in the online block explorer, I would consider it to be a valid transaction.

Keep us updated.

Re-installing (that redownloaded the blockchain) solved the problem. I guess it got stuck somewhere.

Yeah, I already had the backup of my wallet.

Thanks guys for your help.
