Title: did i do this right? damn no0bs anyways...
Post by: mondayistheworst on October 02, 2013, 12:13 am
i am in the process of transferring btc into my SR account. i went to account at the top, and then clicked on "click here to make a deposit". it gave me the address to send it to, and i did so from my btc wallet. it shows it sent from my btc wallet, but my sr account still shows 0. it has been 20 minutes. how long does depositing usually take? whenever i transfer btc from wallet to wallet outside of SR it is instantly. if it is supposed to be, wtf did i do wrong? x.X

it takes as long as it takes I'm afraid. You need 3 confirmations from the network. put the wallet address into the search box on blockchain (https://blockchain.info/search/) and you can see how many confirmations have elapsed.

hope this helps

I believe the FAQ says that it can take several hours.  I've had it take several hours, so I can confirm that the FAQ is correct.

Don't sweat it.  Drink two beers, pet 10 cats, iron 2 shirts, or something that takes 30 minutes for you then check back. It will be there.  I promise.

Cheers
