Used a BTC ATM and the coins haven't turned up!?

I've used this ATMa number of times and is in high street shop. Today I bought btc in two amounts because the machine ran out. The first time the coins turned up and an hour later I returned because they said they would restock and the machine worked again. However the coins have not turned up and there is no sign of it on the blockchain to the address I sent it to. What should I do?

The machine scans you're QR code.

There's an attack going on right now on the block chain, over 50 000 unconfirmed txs. So probably, if you're saying its not a scam, its probably sitting somewhere behind a backlog of fake transactions. You should contact support and see what the miners fee the atm uses- if it's less than 0.0001 you may have to wait a long while unfortunately

Assuming the atm is professional in manner, it should have some form of support that you can contact. I would start there. Did you put the right address for them to be sent to?

The blockchain suffered a "fork" on July 4th, so there are two competing versions of the blockchain in existence.

It seems that blockchain.info is using the INCORRECT one, as are some mining pools, wallets and ATMs.

This is the second fork. The first one was intentional, a month after the MTGOX robbery, Note the sudden spike of bad blocks

As if that wasn't enough, somebody is either "load-testing" or "spamming" the bitcoin network. The average number of transactions has doubled in the last few days.

Considering that I get paid in bitcoin, the fact that it is completely forked is a bit worrying. When it becomes common knowledge, you would expect the value of bitcoin to drop. Its value, strangely, is escalating. Maybe there are many automated buy offers to manipulate the price upwards for some reason. People will just blame "Greece" instead of "China".
