Title: long time to deposit
Post by: billybobjoesmith on August 19, 2013, 10:53 pm
i got some bitcoins via localbitcoins.. transaction seemed to go smoothly. i had the BTC on my localbitcoins account and then i deposited into my SR address. i even changed my password and pin before making the deposit, just like the instructions said. and i copied and pasted the SR address right into localbitcoins recipient address....this is the first time i did this.

sooo it's been an hour and a half and i still have 0 account balance on SR.

is this normal? all my sources say it should take anywhere from a few minutes to one hour... it's been about an hour and a half now so i'm kind of getting worried...

Took mine about an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours earlier this afternoon, coming from localbitcoins.  Coming from coinbase I've had it take 5 hours.  That's my experience.

Dude, don't freak out yet. If the BTC's arrived on the Road in an hour for you I'd say wow!!! It';s almost never that fast for me. It has taken 5-6 hrs B4 . Thats the worst wait, waiting for those funds because your itching to make that order.
