Title: Deposited BTC to my SR account
Post by: karnige on August 04, 2012, 07:56 pm
After using Bitinstant to send money through money I got my BTC in my instawallet then sent them to my SR wallet. How long does the transaction usually take?

It can take up to 6 hours. Use blockchain.info and do a search with your silk road bitcoin address. It needs to have 6 or more conformations there. If it has the conformations but still not in your account, contact Silk Road Support.

It shouldn't usually take that long, but it should be noted that it can take OVER six hours sometimes. It took mine about a day once, but only once. Every other time is usually an hour or less. Everything is probably fine, just be patient, unless all the confirmations are there and you don't have them.

It always takes at least 6 confirmations. The six confirmations usually take around 1 hour, but can also take longer. Usually shortly after the 6th confirmation the funds appear on your SR account. Sometimes it takes a bit longer.

If it takes longer than 6 hours, there possibly is a hickup at SR and you should contact SR support to have them look into the transaction and to make sure that your account gets updated with the transferred funds. At one time it took about 4 days and an intervention from SR support for one of my transactions to be completed.
