Title: How long does it take for bitcoins to be transfered to SR account?
Post by: piratesam on July 03, 2013, 11:12 pm
 I just deposited some BTC into my SR account and it did not show up right away, should I be worried? It has been only a couple minutes, I just don't know what to expect. Thanks in advance, you're good friend piratesam

no worries, my man. It normally takes a couple of hours to get from mt. gox to your sr account.

Sorry if this is to late. But goto this website:

 https://blockchain.info

Then copy and paste your bitcoin address into the search box and hit enter.

you should see something that says "Transactions(Newest first)"

Look for the btc address you entered and see how many confirmation you have. The magic number is around 6 or 7 -- thats when you check to see if the coins hit your SR account.

Hope this helped

Good info. Ya I normally go get some food somewhere and chill for hour or so. 2 hours Id say max. This is normal every time you do this.

I've got 9 conformations and it's been over an hour. The coins have conformation leaving my wallet. I've never had it not show up after this much conformation. Just a little worrying.
