oh shit alphabay

So there's a lot of drama going around about alphabay recently. Havent been around in a little bit and just sent ~1 btc into my wallet on AB with the deposit address I just checked on my profile page. I see confirmed transactions but nothing showing up on AB. Am i fucked?

Should have went on reddit first, FML. Sucks to know i hit that deposit button then 1 minute later I see r/DNM filled with alphabay posts

I've noticed most markets put that they require XX confirmations before a transaction will show up in your wallet....and that number is almost always wrong.

Agora said 2 or 3, and typically took me 4 or 5, AlphaBay says 3 IIRC, and I've never had it take less then 6...Abraxas says 6, and IIRC I've seen it take 6 more often then not...but I've heard of people saying it's taken them more...

I'm not sure if its an issue with cron only checking the deposits on addresses every xx minutes, or they just changed the required deposits for security reasons and didnt update their deposit page, or what...but it definitely has caused me some anxiety more then once :P

Too bad the blockchain doesn't have push style notifications...oh how we've been spoiled in this technology-age.

Relax. I deposited about 1.5 BTC today too. It had about 5 confirmations before it appeared and I nearly shat my pants through the apartment lol :)

Huh, I tested an extremely small amount of coin ($5), and it went through within 9 confirmations.
