Title: Blockchain info??- UK bitcoins
Post by: Orinoko Flow on September 26, 2012, 03:06 pm
Can anyone give me some info on - Blockchain info.  Is it easy to use and safe?  Apparently you can send cash on the barclays pingit app and it will be in your wallet in 10 minutes , can anyone confirm this?  Then can i send it direct to the road ? not sure...   As mtgox is not taking UK deposits im looking for an easy way to get bitcoins..
Many thanks :D

Yo......If your talking about the synchronization  you need to catch up with your recent transactions there is no way to download it in an instant however, here is a list of pre-synchronized blocked chains that cut down on the time.... you can download the current synchronized block chain its like 4 gigs so it may take an hr or more depending on your connection....http://eu1.bitcoincharts.com/blockchain/     hope that helps you

I've tried Blockchain and Pingit, the transfer took about 2 minutes, a lot faster than Mt Gox was

Me too, it took about 2hrs to get my coin to block chain info.. Mtgox usually takes 24 hrs..  Ive sent the coins from BCI to an address but used the anonymous option which incurs a 1.5% fee which i think is worth it.. I will report back on how long it takes for the coins to get there.. So far so good :)

It took 6hrs for my coin to reach the road , so about 8hrs in total..  :)
