Title: Uhh, I am very worried? Where are the BTCs?
Post by: Grimlock on October 23, 2011, 01:00 am
Well I placed an order with get-bitcoin.com yesterday (more than 24 hours), and they said they sent the BTCs I ordered to my wallet. I am assuming this wallet is obviously the one on the Bitcoin client/program on my computer, so I gave them my address (that I newly generated specifically for this transaction).

It never got here. I searched my hash code they gave me in the bitexplorer, search pretty much everything I know. But nothing. I don't even see anything coming into my bitcoin program. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

I contacted get-bitcoins.com, and they said that they withdrew the BTC from their Mt. Gox account (oh god) and sent me the funds. They even sent me a picture of the transaction taking place, being sent to my address.

I waited until I downloaded all the blocks: nothing. I waited until I had more than 40~ connections: nothing.

What do I do?

Thanks in advance.

I'm bumping this for you, because I have a similar problem (I think) as well. My order was through Mt. Gox, took them 2 days to get straight and now have been waiting over a day to see the BTC's in my bitcoin wallet. Nothing yet....

I'm a newbie and maybe missing something, but I have done everything to the letter of what I've been told to do and nothing. I really don't know what to think/expect.

Yea, it's pissing me off, especially because they should have been transferred to me yesterday. I was going to order a couple of things, but that doesn't look like it's happening...

Transferred BTC funds from Canadian Virtual Exchange to my SR account.

It took around an hour and a half.   Not bad.

The same happened in my previous transactions last month.

I ordered from get-bitcoins and they were in my wallet in less than an hour...have you checked that the blocks are increasing on your wallet software?  I have heard of some people's wallets getting stuck on a block and they have to manually update the blocks to get their coins.

Grimlock did you ever receive your bitcoin? What happened? Was it resolved?
