Title: MtGox to SR wallet over 5 Hours?
Post by: fartsinthewind on February 22, 2013, 03:23 am
So, waiting on a bitcoin XFER from mtgox to my SR wallet, which usually takes an hour and a half or so, but it's been 5 hours tonight, I'm starting to wonder. I have withdraw receipt from MtGox that matches my SR wallet number. Now, I do change my address randomly and always after each deposit, but I have had this one for 5-6 days now.

Anybody waited this long or longer?

Just my 2 cents, but I would never transfer directly from Mtgox to SR. In fact, I've totally stopped using them. I always use a waypoint wallet like an instawallet or something like that. I know it may be paranoia but Mtgox has a major thing with Tor and SR and they will freeze your coins or try and make you prove your identity if they smell something fishy. Did they ever show up? I'm hearing lots and lots of people saying that Mtgox is just way too sketch these days. I just made my first Mtgox-free BTC purchase today using bitfloor. Just a simple anonymous cash deposit at my local BoA and boom it's done. Just waiting for my coins to hit my SR wallet now, which always takes the longest. Let us know if they come through and what happened if they didn't.
