Title: bitcoins didn't arrived cause send during downtime
Post by: kalymist on December 02, 2012, 11:39 am

Hi the board

I send a few bitcoins from the inters****.com coin provider, to my SR account.
But it was in the first days of downtime period.
I checked if the site was online, after I send the bitcoins.
So too bad.

Now I see that everything is working but my coins are not on SR.
But there is no trace of my coins.

Where are they gone ?
Is it possible to get a refund on my SR account or it's just lost ?

It's not much, like 8 bitcoins, but I'm not rich.

If someone can help me.

You can search for the bitcoin address that you sent the coins to on blockchain.info. If the transaction appears in the block chain, then SR has your coins and you should contact SR support to have them show up in your account. The site doesn't have to be online in order for the transaction to be valid, since you're not actually "sending" anything when you do a transaction. You're merely signing the coins and saying that the private key to the new address can claim them.

Hi

I don't know what happened.
But I got the coins :)

No message, nothing, just the coin.

Thanks for everything.
