Title: How long does it take to receive btc in SR wallet?
Post by: fruitloops on June 27, 2013, 10:58 pm
Hi all.

This is my first time using btc and was under the impression it should be instantly in my SR wallet as soon as I send it.  Is there normally a delay?

Thanks in advance for the help

Normally once your passed 7 confirmations the funds show up.. 98% of the time this is the case.

It took me less than an hour when I did it.

Mine has always been way more than that.  First time, it was over 30 and took like 6 hours.  Most of the time, it is between like 10 to 15.

It can take anywhere from an hour to several hours.  Be patient, it will arrive.

My experience. Most times once it hits the 7th confirmation its in your wallet.

Thanks for all the replies, very much appreciated.

I was having a bit of a newb moment and didn't realise it needed X amounts of confirmations to proceed. :-[

It took a little over an hour after 7 confirms.

Thanks again
