Title: First Bitcoin Deposit Problem, Please help!
Post by: Fiercecharly on September 11, 2013, 12:14 pm
Hey all

I purchased my first bitcoin through bitbargain, did a fair bit of research all checked out OK.

On SR, clicked on make a deposit, got my code, entered this code on bitbargain and the transfer was complete.  However, 2 hours later my funds have not shown up on SR.  Any idea how long this might take?  Should I be worried that it's not shown up yet?

Any help on this would be really appreciated, thanks.

Silk Road is currently experiencing minor deposit delays.  Please contact SR support  in 12 hours if the deposit still has not arrived and they will take care of it.

Can anyone here please explain what 'confirmations' are in terms of a bitcoin transaction?  I see lots of people saying how many confirmations they have had before the funds are in their SR wallet.

I'm experiencing the same problem. Still waiting for my deposit to clear from Bitbargain after 6 hours! Longest I've had to wait previously was 2 hours. Shame as I've already missed out on two good deals.

Hmm 6 hrs is a bit longer than usual.  If you typed in the right code it should find it's way to you,  dw it'll turn up

Yeah, if you check the Customer Support forums it seems to be a problem for quite a few people at the moment...7.5 hours for me and nothing as yet....

There have been times where people have had to wait 24 hours until their coins showed up..more then once, it is rare but it happens.
