It seems withdrawals are taking a long time right now so I dont know if I messed up for sure. What would happen if I was was withdrawing coins to a wallet and I accident put my wallet addy in but didn't delete the actual "Bitcoin Address" text and accidentally sent? Would it just get lost in the loop or would it make it back to my account? I dont know I did this for 100% sure as the withdrawals are taking so long but im still curious on what would happen.

Bitcoin withdrawls? Try xanax
yes, it would get lost in a loop until you had all the bitcoins.

I am missing about 900 btc after I tried to withdrawal them and they never showed up in my wallet. Has anyone else been experiencing problems?

Having the same issue as well, coins have been sent from SR wallet but have not transferred to destination. I saw CandyShop another vendor mention there's issues as well.

In a word, yes.
There currently seems to be a problem in the BTC blockchain. Or, more properly, a problem with how some older clients handle one particular (unusually large) block that appeared in the past several hours. See [ bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=152030.0 ] and [ sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30587843 ] for details.
Here's a (reassuring?) quote from the bitcointalk thread:(1) If you are a "regular user" (not a miner), the best thing is to do nothing and wait a couple hours.
(2) If you are a "regular user", upgrading, downgrading, whining, FUD, etc, will make no difference. Only miners have an incentive to do anything. Otherwise, it doesn't matter which version you are running.
(3) Regardless of who you are, your transactions are not dead, your coins are not lost. They will just temporarily be held up. If you sent a transaction within the last few hours, it may take a few more hours before it's sorted out.
(4) If you insist on processing transactions right now it's probably best to wait 30+ confirmations. It's just due diligence though ... an attacker would still need a tremendous amount of mining power, quick thinking, and a victim willing to part with a lot of BTC.
(5) By tomorrow this will be in the past and everything will appear to be normal again. If you slept through this, you'd never know that anything happend (except for the price drop).
Let me reiterate, your coins are not at risk, your transactions are not lost. It'll just take some time for the network to "iron itself out." Everything will be okay.
Best of luck . . . and lets hope you don't need it.

Yeah, missing a couple of bitcoins here as well. Hoping to get it resolved ASAP.

It seems like Silk Road is having a great deal of technical problems lately. At this point I guess the question is what can we do to make the road a better place for all of us. I am a firm believer in constantly improving quality. What if Silk Road had a Peer to peer auditing system like bitcoin does? I personally believe that the administrators keep the users of silk road in the dark too much about what is going on internally ( that may be for our own well being im not sure).
Update- about 24hrs later DPR messaged me and credited my account with the missing btc, however I did try to withdraw them again and the same problem seems to be reaccuring

I am sure everyones issues will get solved, they always go around here
God bless DPR !!!
