Title: does it really take up to 6 hours for btc to go onto sr account??
Post by: isallmememe on July 15, 2013, 04:29 pm
my multibit wallet is showing 'this transaction is being confirmed'. and there is a little green clock/circle half filled. nothing is showing in my sr account yet tho.

what would happen if my wifi cut out for a minute or so? would the funds just go back to multibit wallet and show as transaction couldn't be completed or something?

Never used multibit before, but transaction confirmations take place over the blockchain, not on your end. It can actually take up to 24 hours if you're really unlucky, but usually it will be within 2 hours. I've personally seen them appear in my SR account practically instantly, but also waited ~6 hours, so it's kind of a crap shoot.

Keep in mind that SR has its own tumbler, so that will add to the normal time a bit. And it varies based on the tumblers algorithims and shit.

Bitinstant is usually around 15-45 minutes. That's the only one I'm familiar with.

The time it takes is going to range...  You have a server with thousands of users, running in tor which isn't the quickest network,  running how many automated processes in CRON based scheduled jobs.

It varies, could be an hour, 3 hours, but I have not seen it take longer than 6 hours.
