UPDATE: Quite a few people sending deposits from mtgox.com have not received theirs because of problems on mtgox's side. If a deposit from mtgox is not showing up, please check the block chain at:
https://blockexplorer.com/address/(youraddresshere)
to see if the deposit was even sent. If not, you need to message mtgox about it.
CORRECTION: Please message us on the MAIN site via the contact us link, not here on the forums.
Many of the deposits that were sent to the site this week have not been properly credited to the depositors accounts. We don't have a good way to automatically figure out where the deposits should go, so we are having to process them manually. If you made a deposit that is taking longer than about six hours to show up, just send us the address the deposit was sent and the amount of the deposit and we'll be able to track it down and credit your account.
Also, to be on the safe side, you should only use newly generated addresses from your account page from now on. We generated a new address for every account, so the one currently on your account page should be good.
There have been a few strange instances where people's deposits ended up in other users' accounts, so we've disabled withdrawals and transfers until everyone has a chance to claim their deposits. If you got a deposit that wasn't yours, please let us know so we can get it to the right account.

SR, I just sent you a message on the site about missing 99.99 BTC. Address I sent too included. Thank you.
-
Hey SR,
I sent you a PM too about 34.53 missing bitcoins from my username "atlas" on SRM.
Are we gonna get them back before Monday?
-
In SR we trust ;D
-
Hmm, I think there may be problems with even the new addresses. I sent 100 coins from mtgox and 20 from my own wallet to the currently listed address on my account page, they have over a dozen confirmations, but no sign of them yet.
I sent SR a message on the site about it, hopefully he is able to dig out from under all of this, sounds like a huge pain in the ass.
-
So, should I hold off making a deposit today to Silk Road? Damn, I wanted to make a purchase but it looks like now is not the best time to be sending Bitcoins to SR.
-
Also messaged you with amount and address. Would love an ETA on our funds arrival... but that's cool if not. Strange things happening
-
It'd be great if this could get resolved soon....I'd rather do my purchases ASAP so my bitcoins don't lose half their value before I can spend them.

if you havent noticed bitcoins have been on the rise for 3 days straight now...
I've got 401 missing and I do not have the address I sent my coins to so imagine how I feel...
I requested a new address on wednesday and tradehill said the coins were deposited appropriately but will not respond to my requests to get the address the coins were sent to.
-
Hey man, if S.R. finds my funds I'm gonna be hella fuckin happy, not just regular kind happy! :D
I purchased my btc on wednesday (which is also wen they were lost)
my 100btc that WAS worth about $250 USD is NOW worth about $320 USD!
I may have accidentally made a really lucky investment! I hope the prices DO keep going up! lol
no but seriously, i emailed SilkRoad, dont expect to hear back for awhile, which is understandable.
also, i have no fucking idea what wallet i sent it to cuz i used fucking INSTAWALLET.
does anybody know of a silkroad deposit address with the word "fag" in the middle of it?
i seriously think the one i sent it to had the word "fag" in it...
time will tell!
any techy peoples know if theres any different info i could give s.r. to help him find my btc if i dont know the address?

^ Same thing happened to me.
Copy/pasted the SR address I generated a couple hours before the crash and just transferred the coins..
-
did you access the instawallet through TOR? if not, the instawallet link will be in your history. you can then paste your instawallet address into the block explorer, and MAYBE it will show you the address those coins were sent to (as long as it was done quickly, I think it would use the same coins to send to the SR address) but as instawallet is also a mixer, it might not list the sent to address.
Or when using instawallet to send coins, check the GREEN ADDRESS check box, then your coins will be sent from this address, 1CDysWzQ5Z4hMLhsj4AKAEFwrgXRC8DqRN and you could scour through block explorer to find the address you sent it to (and for $320, I could scour for a LONG time) Knowing the Time it happened and transferings strange ammounts will also help you follow your transactions. there are a lot of 100BTC transfers, but not a whole lot of 99.78454124 transfers. I hope you do locate your coins.
best of luck

WOW! Hindsight is a fucking bitch.
Let's see, I did absolutely nothing you retroactively suggested I do.
instawallet outside of tor? nope.
checked green address? nope.
sent strange amount? nope.
horray! im fucked :(
-
I am not saying your fucked, I was just giving little hints to make any future isses like this less complicated. don't lose hope smodcastle your coins are out there somewhere
-
smod check your PMs. I sent you a small gift to help. I will do more if your problem isn't sorted out before we are able to transfer in the store again
-
I'm pleased to report the coins I transferred this morning are finally available in my account. Thanks SR!!!
-

Just got my bitcoins.
Thanks SR, you rule! 8)
-
How much longer will this all take :O Going on 24 hrs since transfer now. :( God speed!
-
Same here - transferred some btc yesterday that's not shown up yet. PM'ed SR on the main site with the address.
-
thought i sent a pm, but cant see it in the sent box, will write up a new one later if my bitcoin hasnt come up
-
A disaster today. Admin withdrew nearly 300 btc. canceled an order. deposited 80 btc later which was immediately withdrawn to an unknown source. I then logged out and now cannot log back in. Ive visited no phishing sites since last changing my password, and ive tried dozens of times to login. Please help! i cannot afford to lose all this money!!
Im posting this here too, its on another thread i apologize, but im panicking a good bit and don't know whats going!!
-
Whats the latest on this issue?
-
transferred 67 btc yesterday that's not shown up yet PM'ed SR on here with the info
-
first post updated
-
Yay,
I found my btc, but somehow they wound up in an address that is nothing like the one I sent them to.
I always copy and paste the address then double check to make sure but somehow they still managed to go somewhere else. :(
Keeping fingers crossed :)
-
pm'd on main site as well. no reply as of yet. :'(
-
I sent just over 100 btc on friday night and still dont see them in my account. I used instawallet, and did several transactions. I have my instawallet links saved, but I dont see a way to look at transaction history in instawallet. Anyone know if this is possible? Or is it possible to see my previous btc addresses on SR?
-
when using instawallet, always check the green address option, and don't send even amounts. then you can see the transfer easily on block explorer by checking the instawallet green address for your oddball amount e.g. 99.9785 instead of 100. that makes your transfer stand out a bit, but only to someone who knows the actual amount you sent.
-
I logged on today to find that I had a somewhat large number of btc in my wallet that shouldn't be there. I don't think it's my lucky day. haha. I've messaged Silk Road on the main site to alert them. I'm sure they will get it sorted out in time. To whoever's btc I have: don't worry, they'll stay in my wallet until this gets fixed and you get them back!

If I believed i god I would say god bless SR. I got my BTC! WhooHoo!
Thank you sir/s. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
-
I am happy that people are getting their lost coins back! I just wish I could cancel an old order that isn't going to ship, because the seller won't do it for me
-
Something else to consider if you have coins in limbo:
https://support.mtgox.com/entries/20566173-outage-13606-bitcoin-withdrawals#overview
Delays in transactions placed on 19th & 22nd.. If you're affected by this then your transaction will not appear in the block chain yet (address will probably shows up never used).
-
Great news!
S.R. found all my money I had lost on Wednesday!
Sure they never responded to the email I sent them or explained anything but WHO CARES?! :D
*does a jig*
Thanks SR!

All of my btc are now accounted for. Thanks SR for working this out! You rock! ...and thanks to those who reported they received deposits that didnt belong to them. Its good to know that there are honest people out there. Sometimes we focus too much on the scumbags and forget this.

Well done! This site has so many people doing the right thing, and you're another good example of that...yeah, we get periodic scam artists and dickheads, but people like you are what keeps our karma intact and on the good side. My btc are alright, but I just like to take note when somebody acts right...

Here's a useful tip for how to NOT use Instawallet: a few days ago I transferred some coins from an Instawallet account to SR. After I had clicked "Send" the page refreshed & saw my new balance (the original balance minus the coins I had just sent).
I then hit the refresh button on the browser and bam! the same amount of coins were again sent, in spite of the fact that the "Amount" field was blank & there was no receiving address. For a few hours I worried that some of my coins had just vanished into space, 'cause you know that seems to happen with Bitcoins... A few hours after the initial transaction had shown up the second, unintended transaction, also showed up.
Moral: don't hit the refresh button on your browser just after you've sent a few coins from Instawallet.
-
Excellent follow-up on the part of SR for tracking down and crediting my missing deposit. I will surely donate some BTC's for the cause.
-
Ditto. Messaged on main site. PLEASE help. I am in a time crunch http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=4488.0
-
Already fixed! :) :D ;D

That is a good tip, thankyou! I see easily how it could happen, too, if you have a bunch of money in one instawallet....

Mt. Gox withdrawal outage is resolved:

Glad to hear someone had luck. I am still having problems with Mt Gox. Is anyone else?
-
I sent a withdraw from Mt. Gox to SR on Tuesday evening...and still have not seen anything in my account. I believe SR is working to resolve this issue.
-
Worked fine yesterday - check the block explorer and if the transaction doesn't appear contact mt. gox support.
-
Made a transfer last Monday and no problems at all.
-
I sent 2 deposits from mtgox to sr the first one a large amount the second one a small amount. Guess which one got deposited? Only me FML. Anyway I sent 2 PMs to sr with my deposit address and I havent got an answer or my missing bitcoins. Not having a good week, none of my orders came through and now I cannot place any more orders :'(
-
As others have suggested the block explorer is your friend in these situations.. it can at least help you figure out who you need to complain to :)
