Title: making a first time transaction, how long should I expect to wait?
Post by: thosgrol on February 12, 2013, 06:12 pm
How long should I expect to wait between transferring funds from a third party wallet to my SR account?  In other words what is the time frame between sending coins to your sr account and actually seeing them in the account?

thanks!

It always seems to take 4 hours or more for me.

I remember the first time I bought BTC, I transferred them from my BTC wallet to an Instawallet.  The fucking things disappeared for two days.  Tried emailing the Instawallet people and got nothing.  Eventually, they did show up in the Instawallet and I got an email back apologizing and explaining there had been some weird hiccup with the site.

During those two days, I had just about convinced myself what an idiot I was for thinking this whole Silk Road thing would even work, that I should have known it was too good to be true.  Now I don't even fuck with third party e-wallets.  SR's tumbler is going to launder the BTC just as well as transferring it between other wallets will and you don't have to worry about leaving tracks on the clearnet.

It took 2-4 hours each time for me.
