hi, i'm new to SR and deposited into my silkroad account about an hour ago. Bitcoin transactions are usually instant but it hasn't registered in my silkroad account.
Anyone have any ideas?
-
How long ago was this? It takes awhile sometimes, My last transaction took close to or a bit over 2 hours before it showed up in my SR account..Just be paitent, I know its worry some, But I believe if its been over 6+ hours and nothing...SR suggestes to contact the Support team..
-
Thanks for the reply bongtree, I've been dicking around on checking all the details from where I sent it from to see if they gipped me.
All clear that end.
I wonder why it isn't instant.
-
Hmmmnn coming up to the six hour mark myself. Deposited today, and still no register against my account. More than worry some.
-
very interestsing
-
If you all havent received them already, I would without hesitation contact SR support. I know I get super nervous/anxious waiting for my coins and I can only imaging having to wait close to 6 hours..good luck
-
Hmmmn def has come out of my 'wallet', and still a no show here.
Contacting support next. >:(
-
I wouldn't stress, deposits can take a long time unfortunately. This is partly due to SR security precautions, they tumble all the coins coming in and going out. I've waited longer than 6 hours, on rare occasions 24+. Usually support requests you wait at least 12 hours before contacting them about slow withdrawals/deposits. Fear not, though, I've heard of lots of people waiting ages, myself included, but I've never heard of SR losing anyone's coins. They always come through eventually.
Just make sure you sent them to the correct wallet address. If you copy pasted then you're fine, just got to wait it out :(

yep they are credited to my silkroad account. Looks like there is honour amongst pirates.
Took a few hours, so maybe not a bad idea to warn new guys like me on the deposit link .
I had assumed I was ripped off and said to myself-lesson learnt, buy my drugs through the usual blackmarket.
But alls well that ends well.
Good luck to the other guys with the same issues.

Yes, but this isn't Silk Road's responsibility to teach you how to use it, it is your responsibility to seek out and learn. It takes at least 6 confirmations for the funds to credit your SR account after a deposit has been applied to the address used from your SR account. Each Confirmation takes 8-12 minutes, so about an hour in most cases. I've heard of it taking upwards of 20+ confirmations for people's SR accounts to be credited with the funds. You can simply check the blockchain address you applied the credit to(the address you deposited to) via https://blockchain.info and it will tell you how many Confirmations it has, and how much money was credited to that address from your deposit.
:P

^^The same problem?
-
It has never been "instant".
There usually has to be at least 7 or 8 conformations on the blockchain before it shows up.
-
For the extra security I have no problem waiting longer. You cannot ever be too safe!
-
Still no sign. 712 confirmations. Id say there is an issue.
-
congrats on your BTC! =)
However depositing here was just the start, remember to always look from whom you buy and see their feedback. Also make sure to first spam to 50 posts before you buy something in order to report a scammer in the correct forum..

So glad I found this thread. Though I haven't experienced what the OP has, I am about to perform the same transaction and would have been very worried if I hadn't found this. So, thank you folks for posting and helping out another noob.
