Title: deposited coins, they have not arrived!
Post by: meekone on August 13, 2012, 05:27 pm
  :o

hi, it was my first time using silk road.
I copied the deposit address and sent coins to it from my bit-coin broker,  ( around 10 btc)

I have been logging in to check the status of my account and it has not yet received the coins?! sent around 5 days ago

I have also noticed that the deposit address has changed. !

can someone tell me how to contact SR ? I cant see a button on the site. this is frustrating as its my first deposit. is this something that happens the first time using SR?

thanks in advance,
MeeK

What's the address? If you don't want to publicly share, go to (clearnet) http://blockexplorer.com/ and enter in the address and you can see what happened to the coins. If the address you deposited to is empty, check the address you sent them from, and see where you sent the coins.

Exactly, go to blockchain explorer and search for the address to which you sent the coins, (your SR wallet address).  If the coins are present at that address but not in your SR account, then the delay  is probably SR related, and SR resolvable- just pm the Admin and they can fix the problem.  Same thing happened to me; my coins were in limbo for about five days.

Also, in my experiences, there's always a delay when sending coins to SR. Today, I measured 1.5 hours. Maybe SR doesn't show coins until they've been confirmed. Maybe the coins are going through SR's tumbler.

My first time depositing coins it took 19 hours. I've talked to people that took about a week for their coins to come through through the site was going through some work. Since the site is down now, it could be there when it comes back online.
