Hello, everyone :) I've used instawallet for my online wallet. Money goes in fine, however when I send it to SR I get the error msg "Account has insufficient funds (or not enough confirmations) to complete this action."
I get this msg everytime I try to move btc's to my account. After several attempts it usually goes through without an issue. Tonight it's been about 1 hour and it will only give me that error msg. It still show's the money in the wallet but seems to be an issue with importing it to SR. Now it's a piddly amount (5 btc) because if my coins decide to "disappear" I can certainly afford a 20 or 30 dollar hit. (NOT 200 or 300!)
Anyone else have this experience? I've done a search for other online wallets and came up empty, does anyone have another online wallet suggestion? thanks!

I used instawallet for the first time about a week ago as well. I transferred my BTC into the wallet and the funds showed up immediately. Went to transfer it to another wallet and it gave me that error message. What I gathered is that it shows the current BTC amount regardless of the BTC transfer approval. In SR it shows a 0 BTC amount while waiting for the transfer to be approved by the BTC network. Ideally what your attempting to do is transfer the BTC from your instawallet before it would even show BTC in SR. Just wait a few hours for the BTC transfer to complete and then you'll be golden. I waited a couple hours and it worked for me. 8)

Really? Ok, sounds reasonable. I used it for the first time several days ago, and I always got that msg, but after several attempts it went through. So basically when I transfer it once it's all good, there is no need to continue to re-enter the information, because it shows the wallet as technically empty? I've bookmarket it and I'll take a peek at it in acouple of hours.
THANKS for the speedy reply, much appreciated :D

Once you transfer the funds it should be all good. That instigates the BTC transfer process (not sure technically what, nor how it works :o) Instawallet shows the funds that are pending as there but the wallet is technically empty until the transfer process goes through. Sadly there is no indicator of pending or what besides that (or not enough confirmations) message.
And no worries was kinda worried when I saw that message as well :D

<3 it did indeed go through now just waiting for SR to receive, much appreciated. Thanks :)
