Title: Instawallet issue
Post by: Majorlazer on September 28, 2011, 12:23 am
Hello,

I am looking to use instawallet as a type of tumbler. I have successfully created 2 wallets and deposited funds into them from outside sources.

Unfortunately when I try to send funds from one wallet to another I keep getting the error message that I have insufficient funds or the address does not have enough confirmations.

I know I have sufficient funds, because I have been able to send the funds from each wallet back to the original source, but I still cannot send between them. Ideally I would be looking to put funds from both of these wallets in a third instawallet before sending them out.

Has anyone encountered this problem with instawallet?

How do you get "confirmations" for a wallet?

If someone could offer some advice or a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

If there is no solution, would someone be able to suggest another e-wallet to use?

I was also going to see what the forums think of using mybitcoin wallets on your own computer to tumble as an alternative?

Thank you for your time!

This happens to me with instawallet all the time, just wait a few hours and you should be fine.

does not have enough confirmations.


well when you send btc, the address receiving the coins will received the 'blocks' associated with your coins, also the system confirms that those coins.

so to stop people doubling up in transactions, you need to wait for a minimum of 6 confirmations before you can send it off again :)

for me, so far it can take anywhere from 10min to 13 hours

Odd, I usually only have to wait for 2 confirmations or 20 minutes to send a payment from instawallet.

It might depend on where you are sending the money from. ExchangeBitcoins need 6 confirmations.
