I am just wondering how long i have to wait for my deposit from my instawallet account to show up in my silk road account. the page told me to be patient and i am trying but a little help would calm my nerves.
anyone have experience?
thanks

Personally, I've experienced 30 minutes - 6 hours. It depends on the network load for bitcoins at the time. Computers process these and if there is a low amount of people actively processing coupled with a surge in trading it can take forever haha ^_^ There is a chart that shows the larger the bitcoin order the faster it gets processed. That "donation" doesn't increase it for large orders so don't increasing it thinking that. It does speed up tiny bitcoin transfers though.

Yeah normally a couple hours for confirmation.
Unless youre one of these people, like me:

But thats not the bitcoin norm, that's a SR issue that seems to be affecting multiple users
