Title: Make a first deposit
Post by: max404 on July 02, 2013, 11:10 am
Hi :)
I am trying to make my first deposit but the there seems to be  something wrong with the link?? Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server. I have tried since yesterday and nothing I do sees to work.

To make a deposit on SR (simple way):
1. Create a wallet in https://blockchain.info/wallet
2. Deposit money in your bitcoin wallet. You could buy bitcoins online or go to a bitcoin money changer.
3. Now go to your SR account, there's a bitcoin address assigned to receive bitcoin from you. Copy the address.
4. Go to your bitcoin wallet at https://blockchain.info/wallet. Paste the address and send the deposit the the address.
5. Check your SR account, in just a few minutes, your deposit will appear.

Hi,
Brandnewbie here, my first post is a question about if I did things wrong?
I tried to load my SR account with bitcoin transferred from my bitwallet. I copied the address from my SR account page, then pasted it into bitwallet and sent the coin. I recieved an email stating the transaction, so it apparently went thru.
But I just checked my SR account and it says 0 bitcoins escrow & 0 bitcoins available! Did I fuckup somewhere? how long does it take to process? I hope I havent lost my money! >:(

I know it takes some time for the coins to be tumbled in and appear in your SR account. How long has it been? More than a few hours?

Disregard that message. I just noticed it says to be patient it may take up to a few hours. I made 2 deposits 5 mins apart only 20 mins ago or so and expected it to go in instantly  ::)
I just checked and the first deposit is in, so I'm doing it right. Just panicked thats all, SR is a steep learning curve for someome not real tech savvy.
All good  ;D
