Title: Deposits and withdrawals temporarily disabled
Post by: Dread Pirate Roberts on January 14, 2013, 08:50 pm
We'll have deposits and withdrawals re-enabled asap.  Any deposits sent, or withdrawals made in the last 6 hours will still be processed.  Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks for the update and reassurance DPR, hope to be able to place some orders tomorrow.  I was definitely worried about my money so it's great to hear the outstanding transactions will be processed still.

Let the panic begin!

No panic necessary - let's just point people to this thread if/when they wonder why their bitcoins aren't showing up.  Maybe it'll help head-off any creeping paranoia / conspiracy theories before they start!  (unlikely, but wishful thinking!)  :D

DPR does this mean that I will get my 100 BTC back that disappeared on me last night?

Wow this has been a perfect storm for me. Tried to get bitcoins through bitinstant on saturday and after contacting their support my coins finally hit my instawallet this morning. Then I send the coins to my sr account and now I have to wait for them to show up once again. Heres to hoping that the coins show up sometime today.

Can we get a temporary notice on the deposit or account pages, please?  Keeping people informed of this before they make moves is surely the Right Way here.

Heh .. I knew  SR crew is in a process of resolving the problem but  some ppl are  very insistent on their doomsday prophecy that this is the "END of Silk Road "... give me a break.

Keep us posted DPR

I was definitely a little worried myself until I started seeing that it's affecting so many others, but this update made my evening and now the whole thing was fortunately no big deal.  Never thought of it as the end of the road myself, I was more worried it might have been a mistake which resulted in some people losing out.  I can accept taking risks when it comes to ordering and having things shipped, but if my money ever gets permanently lost somehow on its way to SR then I don't think I could bear having to worry about that every time also.  At that point street buying and using other services would become the more desirable option for my needs.

Thanks for the update,  i've withdrawn 102 BTC 5 hours ago, nothing came trough, was already panicking. Any ETA on when this problem is resolved? 102 btc is alot of money for me..

What about a deposit that was sent early this morning, longer then 6 hours ago? What the heck happened with that? It has over 35 confirmations.

This is my 4th time I made a deposit to my SR account and 4th time there was a problem. Not a very good system this is, huh?

I'm assuming that DPR meant that they will process deposits and withdrawals which have been made in the last 6 hours or before that.  I hope so anyway or else I'm still fucked.

I made a deposit at 10:30 am of 119.798 BTC, still nothing in my account and it's almost 5:00 PM.

Hopefully I'm one of the first in line.



EDIT: Sorted. I knew it would be, t'was just a matter of time.

Well, not sure about that. 8 hours after the fact isn't too prompt. Will SR give me interest on holding my money?
Title: Re: Deposits and withdrawals temporarily disabled
Post by: BlueberryBANG on January 14, 2013, 10:17 pm
So what happens if I go down and get some btc transfered to my account now? will it be waiting in processing? or should I just wait til it's re-enabled? any ETA?

Just received my bitcoins that I got through bitinstant a fews hours ago! :) just thought I'd share
Title: Re: Deposits and withdrawals temporarily disabled
Post by: Rowsdower on January 14, 2013, 11:06 pm
Sweet, I have my coins now too all ready to be spent.  In hindsight I wish I'd just not bothered to get any bitcoins today and just waited til later in the week, because this morning I sort of felt like putting it off but for whatever reason decided to press on, but all is well now.

Everyone go out to the movies and relax, maybe make sure you have a bottle of benzos on hand if you plan on being a member here.
All I read was "the sky is falling, the sky is falling". :P

Nothing is perfect guys issues occur are dealt with life goes on the biggest problem with Silk Road is how uneducated about the system the new generations of members are here.
DPR's #1 concern at all times is the status of the security of everyone's btc's, with the exception of the clueless FE supports.

@nomad 100% agree. Although speed is an important part of the service it should never interfere with individual users security and privacy.

Of course, SR is exactly like a bank.  And next time you're at your local bank, ask if you can withdraw grams of coke and MDMA instead of cash.

Idiot.  This ain't f'in WalMart.  Back in the pre-Internet days, I'd give cash to a friend and wait a few weeks or sometimes months until the hookup happened, if it happened at all.  Sometimes it would be years between hookups for particular DOC. Even a week is prompt.  8 hours is basically instantaneous in this context.

Are you serious? (if you were joking ignore the rest of my post)

Stop being a dick, DPR tries his hardest to run this place and he does a fucking excellent job.

You didn't have your money for 8 hours, big woop. If you are going to be a member here then you'll need to learn to be patient.

Again, sorry to repeat myself - but, please do not be a penis.

Hello DPR,

I lost over 100 BTC 2 days ago when all of this started and still haven't gotten my money back... can you personally check out my situation?
