Title: BTC taking forever to get into my SR account
Post by: rythaman on April 03, 2013, 07:37 pm
Usually I get my BTC within an hour or so...
It's now been over 3 hours today... weird.
Hope they come through eventually.

What causes the delays?

How busy the blockchain is on any given day,Ive waited up to 4 hours...in the past.
Buying btc from vendors is alot faster. The BTCS come from the source you will be spending them.

I offer btc for cash in the post at below mt gox's weighted average. No waiting as it goes from my Silk Road Account to yours. Takes seconds!

See my vendor page here

It can take up to 24 hours apparently, depends on how busy a day it is for the blockchain servers I think.

Yeah, there are some serious delays happening right now.  Best thing to do is hang in there, be patient, and know that you WILL receive your coins.

Go to blockchain.info and type in your SR address (I'd recommend doing this in TOR.) When it gets between 6-10 confirmations, it'll be in your account.

Lots of people are reporting unconfirmed transactions like that today, even for transactions that are not involving SR.

Really hope its a temp problem... haven't had this issue before.
I know I've seen people here on the forums having issues getting BTC *out* of SR.
I'm on the opposite - wanting to push BTC in...
I clearly see the transaction - just not confirming.
Weird :/
