Title: bitcoin question
Post by: wtfblah on March 16, 2012, 11:43 pm
i used bitinstant, made a deposit.  bought coin on mtgox, then transfered them to blockchain.  then logged onto tor, and moved them here.  now my blockchain wallet is empty, but so is my SR account.  i know it says it can take a couple hours, so i'm not panicking yet.  was just currious how long this tends to take?

edit:  nevermind, i'm good

While it won't give you an idea of how long a transfer is likely to take, you can check up on things using the site http://blockexplorer.com/

You can search by sending or receiving address and get some idea of the status of the transfer.

sr's mixer won't withdraw coins from your deposit address for some time (maybe when the main pool is running low?) so analyzing the blockchain won't be of immediate use.

thanks guys.  i really did my homework before jumping into the site.  i didn't want to make too many annoying noob posts.  but my curiosity got the better of me on this.  it only took about an hour, give or take a few mins.  was less painful of a wait than i had braced for.
