Title: BTC taking forever to deposit into my SR account.
Post by: iliveinacake on October 05, 2011, 02:12 pm
Anyone else having this problem? I sent BTC from my wallet to my SR account over 30 hours ago and still nothing.

Go to blockexplorer.com and enter the BTC address that you sent the coins to. There are way more blocks created in a day to reach the 7 confirmations that will make the funds show up in your account.

Also, from where did you send the coins? Directly from an exchange wallet, online wallet provider, bitcoin client on your computer?

Hopefully you sent them to the correct address because if you not, then bye bye bitcoins   :(

I sent them to the correct address. Double checked and no way I could have stuffed it up. They were sent from bitcoin7, I think it might be their system playing up.

Looks like bitcoin7 got pwned and so did I.

Ouch, I also got burned by bitcoin7 this week to the tune of ~10BTC. Good thing I didn't deposit more as something must be going on with them if it's happening to others as well.

looks like I'm gonna have to just use someone on here to get bitcoin. The bitcoins seemed so easy to get ahold of when i first started learning about obtaining them. Looks like most places are just scams now. :(

I'm having the same problem.  And I'm experienced with btc., and this slowness like this is unusual.  My wallet got 10 around 132000 blocks in a few hours, then slowed *way* down, and I'm going on 48 hrs, and mine came direct from tradehill to the wallet.  This was on a windows box, so I put a totally new wallet on my linux computer, and weird, that too got to around 130000 blocks in a couple hours, and now is slowing way down too...

I know other times it 'seemed' slow, but always within 6-24 hrs on a new wallet, and a transfer of btc usually within a few hrs....I'd left some btc on SR, so I could get rolling, but they had dropped so much in value...

Anyway, I just wanted OP to know that he wasn't alone with this...I'm going to try next keeping it 'in the cloud' and shuffle it around there, then to SR, but rite now, both wallets slow, not completing....
