Title: Where are my BTC?!?! HALP!
Post by: bbd82584 on August 11, 2013, 11:18 pm
Ok, So I met up with a local bitcoin vendor, and bought a few coins.  They were transfered from his wallet to my Blockchain wallet without incident. He went his way, I set the coins to transfer from my blockchain to my SR wallet.  1HR later and we are at 6 Confirmations for the transfer INTO my Blockchain, and ZERO CONFIRMATIONS(!?!?!?!) for the transfer into my SR wallet.  I'm freaking out bc the balance on both my Blockchain and SR are under 50 cents, and still no confirmations on the SR transfer.

 WTF is going on?  Usually I set them to transfer as soon as I get the text and they show up in my blockchain.  The Confirmation Count for BlockChain to SR has always kept on pace with the confirmations for Vendor to my BlockChain.  I'm worried.  Does anyone know what is happening?  I dont know a lot about BTC or how it works, but I do know that this is NOT what has happened on the 17+ other transactions I've done this way.  Who do I talk to about this?  Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

OK, so as soon as I posted this topic, I look and the first transaction is at 7confirmations, and I finally got the 1st confirm on the SR transfer.  Why so slow tonight?  Is this going to be the way it goes all night? 1 confirmation/1 hr instead of 10min?

Did you pay a transaction fee? If you don't, the confirmations will be slowed down, because miners will give the transaction a low priority.

Seems like the blockchain app I use deducts a fee automatically.  But as we speak, we're at 3 confirmations, so I guess there was just a one hour delay on the first confirmation.   :-[ sorry for the mini-freakout!  I'm going to go feel shame as I start filling my cart. :)
