Title: Transfering bitcoin to silk road wallet
Post by: SamWise303 on July 11, 2013, 05:59 pm
Hi all, I have successfully bought bitcoin from a private seller on localbitcoins.com. I have transferred them from the localbitcoins wallet to my silk road wallet. However my silkroad account balance remains at 0. I am sure the deposit address was correct. Do they normally show instantly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

How long ago did you transfer it and did you assign a fee (if localbitcoin allows assigning a fee for the transfer)? It can take several hours to show up in your SR account. You can track it on blockchain.info or blockexplorer to see how many confirmations it has. It takes at least 6 confirmations to get into your SR account.

Thanks for the replys. It has only been about an hour or so since sending, probably just a case of me being inpatient! Not quite sure what you mean by assigning a fee (I am new to the world of bitcoin) but on my localbitcoins wallet log it lists '0.003 reserved for network fee' and also after transferring '0.0001 bitcoin network fee'. I asume this is what you mean?

Yes.

Just wait. I was paranoid for my first transfer too, but it just takes a while.
