I made a Bitinstant deposit today, but it was the first time that I ever used a BTC address instead of an intermediary like Mt. Gox. Well, I made 4 deposits right in a row, but only the first deposit has made it, and I'm growing concerned about the other 3. I'm sure that I'm just being paranoid. Can someone tell me how long it normally takes for that option to work, and how much time there is between deposits? That way I still stop panicking

I haven't used Bitinstant in a millennium but if it was the bank deposits you may or may not have triggered a suspicious activity alarm in their system but if it was a different method then you may just be waiting for them to get more funds cleared or something of that nature.

Still haven't received most of the deposit... I received 1 out of 4, but the other 3 have not appeared. I e-mailed Bitinstant support but no response yet. I hope this can get resolved.

You probably broke the rules. Don't try to pull a fast one on them you end up losing.
-
^not sure why this guys implying you were "pulling a fast one"
Which website did you send the bitcoins to? As in which website has the bitcoin address you sent the bitcoins to. Some websites automatically change your bitcoin address each time you receive a payment, so it would be worth it to go back on the website and check if the bitcoin address is still the same.

I sent them to my SR wallet. Was this a mistake? The first one arrived without issue, the other 3 still have not been found and I can't find any information on Blockchain.info

It's been about 18 hours since I received an e-mail from ZipZap saying the orders went through, followed by 4 e-mails from Bitinstant saying that my orders had been "updated." It usually takes no more than 3 hours for an order to come through. Like I said, one came through just fine, but the other 3 have not arrived. I've tried e-mailing Bitinstant support with no response. I also messaged SR support, no response yet, but I'm sure they'll get to it eventually.
Can someone explain to me how I'm supposed to read the Blockchain.info page for my address? It says that 2 transactions have been completed: the first one is receiving the BTC amount for one order, and the second is sending that exact same amount away. What does this mean? I'm baffled right now. Would it be a security risk if I just posted my address here so someone can take a look at the page? Or can a trusted forum member PM me and I'll link you to the Blockchain page? I'm starting to panic here.

Its been 4 days now and SR still hasn't received my coins from Bitmarket. Was only a small amount. Every other transaction went through ok, some quicker than others, but my latest one has been 4 days now..cant believe it.
But yeah 18hrs is too long also. I heard sending coins straight to SR is fine, but maybe not..? ???
-
I've always used BitInstant and sent them straight to my SR wallet. The longest that it has took it 2 hours...18 seems very very suspicious. What happens in a situation where they believe you are using the BTC for criminal reasons? I assume they just seize it and lock the account but I have no idea.
Good luck man.

block chain info shows your addy you used and when it was completed...
it should have alot of orders within yours too...
sometimes the bit transfer can be completley off. and thats what happened to me!
make sure u contact BIT SUPPORT.

It says that 2 transactions have been completed: the first one is receiving the BTC amount for one order, and the second is sending that exact same amount away. What does this mean? I'm baffled right now.
That's because SR credits the amount to your SR account and takes the BTC away from the actual wallet to mix them around internally. It's normal and nothing to worry about. All that matters are the incoming BTC.

Hmm, well SR doesn't automatically change your address each time you receive a payment. Is it possible you changed it since you made the withdrawal? (as in clicked the "get new address" button)
