Title: THINK MY MONEY HAS BEEN TAKEN
Post by: higherigo on August 27, 2013, 03:15 pm
I have been waiting patiently like everyone else for over 6 hours but it now i am seeing a few issues. its still trying to confirm but i now have 2 transactions going.

The top transaction has 2 account codes and a red arrow and the 1.14 bitcoins in red

The one below has my account only with a green arrow pointing to 1.14 bitcoins in green

Up the top in the summary though is says that there is 2 transactions. Total revieved is 1.14 BTC but Final Balance says 0 BTC.

Someone please help  :-[   FIRST TIME EVER USER SURELY COULDNT BE MY LUCK

ive actually had the same thing happen, i was due to have a deposit to my SR address from VirWox that was supposedly completed at about 05:55:30 this morning which has the green arrow from one address to my SR address. about 5 hours later i have the red arrow from my address and another address to a single address.

the transfer TO my SR address has like some 68 confirmations and the transfer supposedly FROM my SR address has like 34. i just got off work a little bit ago so im going to go get some sleep and check back later

CHILLLLL WINSTONNNNNNNNN

Unlucky first experience man, its not always like this around here though :)

Your coins are being tumbled as they should be, the problem seems to be back log after the new site update took place. SR are working on it as we speak, some people are already seeing coins arrive! Nothings been hacked or stolen as far as I can see, if that was the case we would no by now!!! SR take security seriously, and updates are always fresh, the recent TOR MAIL issues a good example of that!

I know its tough, first time as well your thinking SHITTTTTTT....

Its not what you want to hear, but submit a support ticket on the main site (bottom right corner) to add your name to the list, and enjoy your evening, im sure by the morning all will be well :)

I also have a number of coins in limbo, I have no reason to panic though :)

In agreement with Sinister.

These things DO happen and they DO sort themselves out. It's just a shame it happened on your first time.

If you sent to the correct address, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks guys for the positive feedback and support. I was just getting worried cause no one from Blockchain and SR were getting back to me then i post here and same thing.

It could only happen to me all this stuff up. Hopefully it fixes soon

My first purchase of bitcoins, I used blockchains pingit service, after I sent it, a message appeared to say - DO NOT USE PINGIT OUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN TAKEN. I of course panicked, posted on here, messaged Block chain, after 8 hours of driving myself crazy with no response, I went to bed angry and sure all this was a scam.

I woke up with a message from Block chain saying they would honor my coin, and I did indeed get my coin!!. I made my first order and it never showed. The vendor messed me around but eventually came good.

Sadly that was my first experience, happy to say its never been that bad since. I can honestly say I have never lost a BTC or an order on SR yet!!!!]
