Title: Max BTC transfer time from SR to wallet
Post by: Arcturian on April 02, 2013, 03:48 am
Can anyone let me know the longest they've waited for their btc to be transferred from SR to wallet? Its been 6 or so hours now and i'm starting to wonder if they're going to show up at all :-\ Should i be worried? Any input much appreciated

Regards, arcturian

No, you shouldn't be worried.  Sometimes it can take awhile.  Most I've waited is probably 16 hours.  If you don't see them within 24 hours of the transfer, then you'll need to send a message to SR Support on the main site.

Thanks! :)  This is kind of a topic that might fit better in another subforum, so I'll move it there for you.

I had the same problem last night; it's now about 18 hours since and still showing no confirmations..the withdrawal shows on my account page of SR and it has arrived in the wallet but has not yet started to confirm. I will wait another day or so but if nothing what should I do?

Don't worry guys. I just started seeing confirmations for my withdrawal after about 20 hours. I wonder if this has anything to do with the Instawallet/Bitcoin-Central security breach...

Times do seem to vary a lot, as always if you are still waiting after 12 hours contact SR support.

What do you recommend I do now that it's been over 24 hours, nearly 36 to be specific, and I've contacted support but gotten no response?  I'm getting nervous that the btc are just gone and I will never see them again...

The usual (but definitely not the only) cause of this is a disconnected bitcoin wallet from the blockchain, or one that is running on a slow connection. This is usually the case when you make the transfer and no confirmations show up for hours. As long as you use the correct address, copy it, and confirm the code by dragging the intended code above/below your code input. a quick glance will ensure it's a match, and unfortunately waiting is all that's left (I usually add a small transaction fee to get confirmations faster. But no connection means no fast transaction. I'm not sure if there is a way to check if a particular wallet's code is currently connected to the blockchain.
