Title: The Bitcoins I transfered from coinbase are not in my silkroads account
Post by: Bigtiger on July 09, 2013, 04:36 am
I deposited 1 bitcoin into my Silkroads account. I sent the coin to the address that the silk roads website gave me. Coinbase says that the deposit is complete but it has not appeared in my silkroads account. Does it take longer to appear? It took only about 20 or so minutes. Did I get scammed??? help

From what I've seen it can take several hours to a day or so. Give it time and then come back tomorrow or later if it's still not there.

Check the transaction on blockchain.info and once there is 10 confirmations on the transaction SR accepts it. Ive had them take as long as 6 hours. Usually it is around 1-2 hours though.

Id had to wait for about 6 hours before too. Id say theres no need to worry (yet).

Partially it also has to do with the fee assigned. Some sites don't allow you to assign a fee when transferring the BTC; those transactions tend to take the longest. If even a small fee like .0005 is assigned it seems to go faster.
