How big of a deal is it that there are now 250+ confirmations from coinbase to agora?

First time I chose not to tumble after BitBlender's issue and now I have 2.5+ BTC floating in limbo between my IRL bitcoin account and my AG wallet.

Other than loosing 1k+, this is really starting to worry me.

Wouldn't 250 confirmations look like a problem on the blockchain, if that is even how it works?

Just need a peice of mind, almost shit my pants when I was fucked up last night and heard a bunch of vans and big engines outside my house(not uncommon).

Is this worth cleaning house over?

edit: I know there are mixed feelings when it comes to answering the question: "To tumble or not to tumble" but I feel that this is an extenuating circumstance and that is why I was hoping someone could shed some light on my issue.

Thanks

Your coins have arrived in the wallet, but agora is just having problems updating balances on the site, so it's not a Bitcoin/blockchain problem.

I'd highly suggest you tumble those bitcoins on a purchase that big, in a week or two I'll be posting a thread on here that will show you guys how to tumble for free, or next to free, I'm just spending my days tracking the coins on the blockchain to make sure my method works well before I post it here as I don't want people to get fucked over from it.

But as soon as withdraws work I'd send that BTC straight back to coinbase, then send it to a personal wallet, then a tumbler. Coinbase has a history of banning accounts because people sent coins straight to a market or a mixer. As long as the coins haven't left your deposit address it will be hard for coinbase to tell they went to agora, but as soon as you buy something or agora sweeps the deposit addresses to condense the coins into one cold wallet it will be easy for coinbase to see where your $1000 went.

Every transaction will just keep growing in confirmations as time went by. This is not the problem at all - this happens on every transaction I assume b/c Bitcoin works by confirmations which are done by the miners I believe. The only reason you care about confirmations is that many systems will say they require a certain number, such as 2 in Evo's case or 6 with Coinbase, of confirmations before considering the transaction legitimate. but the confirmations don't stop there, they keep going and going as it propogates.

The problem is the system that is controlling those wallets, basically the accounting software. Its like if you went to the bank, deposited money, btu when you went to the website to check your balance and it didn't show the deposit. The money was deposited and that wasn't hte problem, the problem is somewhere after that point. So its all Agora. We just don't know what caused it. I wouldn't necessarily consider the coin lost. There are some positive signs. I wouldn't deposit anymore there until shit gets straight for a little bit, but there have been posts that the Agora team is working on the issue. The problem is that some don't believe its actually the Agora team b/c they aren't signing their messages. I have no clue either way as I'm not very familiar with Agora.

I can understand how you misinterpreted confirmations as some sort of ping. In your mind it was: When Agora receives money they send confirmation back to sender (coinbase). And 250 of those is lots. I get it. It makes sense. But that's not how confirmations work. Other guys explained it so I won't do it again.

I have no idea what's going on with Agora's BTC transaction system.

If they get it functioning, your coins should at least be in their system. You sent them from Coinbase to some wallet address controlled by Agora. 250 confirmations doesn't matter, Agora has them somewhere. There's nowhere else for the coins to really "go", they're not going to just vanish into the ether.
