Title: Delay in transfer of bitcoins from Bitstamp to SR?
Post by: sscenes on March 22, 2013, 02:56 pm
I bought some bitcoins this morning on Bitstamp. I generated a new bitcoin address in SR, and sent the coins from Bitstamp to the new SR address. That was 2 hours ago and the bitcoins has not shown up in SR.

This is my 3rd time sending bitcoins to SR.  The 2 other times the transfer was immediate, so this time I am concerned about the delay.

I am well aware of the note on the account page "Please be patient, it may take a few hours for the Bitcoin network to confirm the transaction."
However - I'm freakin' out that my money may be gone bye-bye. Poof. Bamph. These are not the droids you are looking for.
 
Anyone have any advice?
Is this delay normal?
If it is not normal, what do I do?

The bitcoins came through. Great! It took about 2.5 hours.

Damn. I was sweating bullets. Noob sweat.
