Title: BTC Transfer
Post by: 60benson on April 17, 2013, 09:32 am
Hey,

Complete Noob to SR, so excuse my ignorance.
Just transferred .2 btc from my bitbargain account, and the transaction was processed/successful. Just wondering how long that takes before it shows up in the SR account wallet?

Thanks

Hey,

It will show up on SR shortly after the transaction has had 6 confirmations

No you just need to wait. If you go to the wallet that you sent the coins from you will probable be able to click on the transaction and it will tell you how many confirmations you've had.

the confirmation system is to avoid people spending the same bitcoin twice. It usually takes about 2 hours to receive the 6 confirmations required. If you google about bitcoin and confirmations you will get a lot more info
