Title: Can use your bitcoins before your bank is verified?
Post by: rubberdingy on August 21, 2013, 10:52 am
Hi there please forgive my ignorance!, i have been reading up on bitcoins the past 24 hours but cant get my head around this,

If i was to buy some bit coins from say ebay?, could i use them straight away within the 14 day wait on verification of my bank? Which hasn't yet gone through yet because my online statement hasn't updated.

Any help is much appreciated! Thank you

If you've been sent the Bitcoins to your wallet, you can use them once there's like 6 confirmations. It should show in your wallet after 6 confirmations

Ok thanks, so say if i was to buy six 0.1 bit coins from ebay and get them sent each to my wallet separately, i would then be able to use them

you could buy 1 or 50 dont know why you would buy 6 .1's but each to there own they ment 6 confirmations from the network just buy them when you can see them in your wallet send them to SR remember it can take a few hours to show up in your SR wallet
