First off let me introduce myself. I have been a long time lurker, I first came here after reading the gawker article as I suppose many of you did. At first it seemed all to complicated and expensive a way to accomplish something I could usually do through my local connections and street corners. But as I have grown and become successful in my personal and professional life this now seems like a more sophisticated and discrete method to go about such things. In either case I'm getting started and have an issue.
I recently made my first bitcoin purchase through Bitinstant, It's been 9 hours since i sent the money gram and still no deposit into my TORwallet. I've double checked the address and all matches up, I've keep an eye on blockchain and nothing.
Update:
As I was typing this I was contacted by bitInstant customer service and they have started to work on clearing everything up. Apparently transactions get held up in the exchange and blockchain occasionally.
My question is now, is this fairly common? Seems odd for my first transaction to have this happen. I did some forum searches and it looks like some others had similar problems this weekend. Also, any advice for a newb would be appreciated.

Haha, I see a similar topic on the front page. Apparently this isn't all that uncommon. Should have checked before I posted, don't have access to TOR on the go so I've just been cruising regular net. Well, just consider this my introduction then.
