Title: Getting Bitcoins Deposited directly to your SR account
Post by: SimplisticStyle on January 30, 2013, 06:07 pm
When paying cash via moneygram ie: Wallmart and having them deposited directly to your SR address ie: 15mQGRTRzFZz5Y76jXanaoBCDbfNDoarSL .... How long should it take for the funds to show up in your account? I see that bitinstant says the transaction is complete. Now just waiting on the funds to show up here on SR

It can take a couple of hours because Silk Road sends the bitcoins through multiple locations before it actually hits your account.

At least, that is how I understand it.

Thanks for the replies, I will keep anxiously waiting lol. I made as big of a deposit as ZipZap would allow so I am super excited to place some orders. Thanks again

You can put your bitcoin address into blockchain.info to see what is going on. You should see any transactions that are pending for that address.

Click on the transaction itself and you can see how many confirmations you have had. SR will require 6 confirmations before the coins show up in your wallet, after that it takes 15 minutes or so and then you will find them in your account.

No bullshit.  40 hours and counting.  Everything good up until SR deposit.  138 confirmations at last check.
