Title: Bitcoins to SR delay
Post by: wakers1865 on October 28, 2011, 05:22 am
So last night I sent some BC to silkroad from mtgox and it took about 2/3 hours for SR to get it in my account. Tonight I sent more using the same BC address from last night. The site said I would get a new address but could still use the old one to send coins. I clicked on" "get new address" but it never gave me one so I went ahead and used the one from last night.

Well its been almost 5 hours and still no coins in my account but no a new address has popped up. I have read it can take 6-8 hours sometimes. Just trying to make sure I have not done anything wrong by sending to old BC address and now there is a new on my account

help

Don't worry i have had btc show up from 1-7 hours, but you can read on the forums sometimes it can take longer. really worry and send messages to SR after 24 hours. goodluck

+1 there is no reason to start worrying until the time has exceeded 24 hours, at which point you contact Silk Road and they will always help you find out what went wrong.

I transferred BC into my SR account yesterday from two different addresses. I always send one half first, wait for it to clear, then send the other half *just in case*. Each transfer took about two hours.
Also, I use a new SR address for every individual transfer. Can't be too careful.
