Title: Can i tell if coins are on the way if they havn't shown up yet?
Post by: kandiflip1034 on January 03, 2013, 09:39 am
Just wondering. Someone is sending me coins but i don't know their bitcoin address just the address they are being sent.  Is there a way to see if those coins are on the way?

These coins are being sent to my sr account address so i guess they are being tumbled. Not sure if that affects things. Just want to know if the coins have been sent yet.  Waiting on them to arrive so I can purchase some things. Im fairly new to alot of this so please bare with me.

Im not purchasing coins from a vendor. I am receiving a refund due to a mistake. Coins havn't showed yet. Was told about 2 hours ago they were being sent to the address I provided.  So I am wanting to know if there is a way to see if those coins are in transit or if I have to wait until they arrive to know.

I don't buy coins from vendors. I use cash deposits through bit instant.  really easy process for me.

The point was that you can go to http://blockexplorer.com or http://blockchain.info and put your bitcoin deposit address into the search box .... the resulting info will show you whether or not there has been any recent activity at that deposit address (your wallet).

I did learn something from your post. For that I do thankyou.

btw coins I was waiting on finally showed. Just a slow process I guess.
