Title: Bitcoin wait time?! WTF
Post by: julietviktor on August 21, 2012, 03:02 pm
Yo,
I've been here for a while, and I've almost always used Mt. Gox--it has consistently taken about an hour for the moolah to show up in my SR account. 
It's been steady and reliably doing that for about a year now~~
But these past two times, it's taken upwards of 18-20 hours~~made the deposit at 5 or 6 pm last night (where I am), sent to my SR account immediately, and it's now 11 am where I live and NOTHING. 

W.  T.  F. 

Last time, someone told me it was a Road-wide problem with bitcoins going in and out. 

But this time, I have a feeling it's just me.  Or not?

I'm hoping one of YOU lovely, lovely people could confirm or deny this for me. 

I wanna buy shit, dammit!  =( 

thanks, everyone!

I've never had to wait over 3 hours for my coin to roll up into my SR wallet from Mt. Gox.

I've read a few posts similar to this though, your coins will come through soon buddy.

Thanks, bro...do you

OR any one else

know of a more reliable way than Mt. Gox?  I have the Bitcoin client, I have the wallet...would that be better?

I'm not a total ignoramus, I know how this works, I'm just asking for a bit o' advice from my fellows =)

It isn't MT GOX. I did a bitinstant transfer deposit to here yesterday at 2PM. It usually takes about 2 hours. I'm still waiting and support won't reply! This is not cool.

I had about a 3 hour wait time, a few days ago. It's not unusual. I know it's stressful when it's a lot of cash though.

I always use bitstamp. And in 20-30min the coins are in my wallet  ;)
I never use  Mt.Gox or Bitinstant!!
