Title: How long does it take you guys to get your BTC to your SR wallet?
Post by: Brick on September 22, 2012, 06:30 pm
I just sent some to my SR and it makes me paranoid because I don't want my money to vanish in thin air.
How long does it usually take you guys to get them to your SR wallet?

I'd like to add: I sent them from InstaWallet.

Usually about 6 to 10 confirmations in the block chain, or about an hour or 2. But don't freak out if it takes a bit longer... think my longest SR deposit wait has been 6 hours. Bitcoin transactions are sometimes subject to strange happenings, they can get trapped in orphan blocks, which slows them down, I've also seen one take 2 days for a single confirmation. It did eventually come through, have never lost a coin in the void :) You can also plug your address into the search at http://blockchain.info and track it's progress. If it doesn't show in 24 hours, message support on the main site and they'll take care of you, they're awesome like that :)

Using Bitinstant:

Best time: 10 minutes
Worst Time: 16 hours (SR Tumbler Issues)
Average: 20-30 minutes

This is all once I can view the transaction in Blockchain.info

Hope this helps.
