I was wondering if someone could tell me if I just screwed myself royally. I was transferring BC from MT Gox to my SR address. I tried to get a new address from my SR account page, but it would not load, so I hit the stop button on the browser. I then just decided to send the BC to the old address. Well I waited for a few hours and decided to check my account page and lo and behold the address is different. Will my old address to send BC to SR still receive the coins or am I screwed? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi hondo63,
No, every address that you generate is uniquely linked to your account; however, if your BTC doesn't arrive within 24 hours, contact SR Support and they'll be able to push them through manually for you.
Please also read the following on the SR Wiki:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#Why_isn.27t_my_deposit_showing_up_in_my_account.3F
Let us know here when the BTC comes through please so as we can close off the thread. :)
Also, if you access your Mt.Gox account over Tor your account will be flagged and you will be asked to provide documents to verify your identity - just something to keep in mind!

Libertas,
Thanks for the response I will give it some time to see if the BC show up. I access MT Gox on the clearnet with a different browser, but I do have the Tor browser open as well. I thought that would be OK as long as I didn't access MT Gox from Tor (I assumed that they are two different programs that have no link to each other). Thanks again for the help.

Yup, that setup won't cause any problems with Mt.Gox.
Just be sure not to log in to your Gox account with Tor by accident - it's happened in the past to people here!

OP, good luck and hope it comes through soon for you :)

Woooaaah, hold up there! I said it wouldn't cause any problems with Mt.Gox! There are many reasons you should not be using Tor and another browser at the same time; I simply stated that it wouldn't cause any problems with the Mt.Gox account!

Libertas just wanted to give you an update on my situation. I made 2 transfers to my SR address, one for like $3 that was left-over in my Blockchain wallet and one for $300 that I had in my MT Gox account. The small order from BlockChain arrived no problem, but nothing on the MT Gox transfer. Checking BlockChain there is absolutely no info on the MT Gox transfer, nothing. Do you think this is an issue with MT Gox?
I have checked and the transfer was going to the same address for both transfers.

Thanks for the update, hondo63. If there is no information on blockchain.info regarding your transfer then it was never sent by Mt.Gox. I'm afraid you will have to get in touch with them about it. I believe a number of people are experiencing such problems with Mt.Gox and this may be related to the issues they are having in the US. They are the only ones that can sort out the missing transfer in any event.
Please see the SR Wiki here:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#Why_isn.27t_my_deposit_showing_up_in_my_account.3F
Why isn't my deposit showing up in my account?
It can take up to 6 hours for a deposit to be confirmed on the blockchain, processed, and credited to your Silk Road account. If your deposit still hasn't shown up, first check that it is showing up on the blockchain by searching for your deposit address on a site like blockchain.info. If your transfer doesn't appear here, then it was never sent and you need to find out why from the person or organization who initiated the transfer. If the transfer does appear, then there could be a problem on our end and you should contact us.
Hope you can get it sorted out with them.
Thread locked as resolved.
