I just lost 6 sets of maturing coins! I had 10 sets of bitcoins maturing. The last set was generated at about 0:22. It got to 2/unconfirmed before bitcoin got stuck. At 10:10, the bitcoin which was generated at 0:22 was still only at 2/unconfirmed. Since you had told me that I wasn’t going to lose coins, I shutdown and restarted bitcoin. On the bright side, it shutdown and started up very smoothly. But unfortunately, when the blocks updated, I lost 6 sets of bitcoins. Four sets were still unconfirmed, but two sets were confirmed. And there’s no trace of them now. Perhaps now that you have the ‘Show Generated Coins’ option available, you can put back in failed bitcoin generations. I just don’t like that those bitcoins just disappeared into thin air. I’m still running the Linux build at the moment, but the Wine version is suddenly looking much more attractive now that 6 out of the 10 sets of bitcoins I generated in the past 24 hours just vanished. I’ve included my debug.log.
