Title: sent btc to my SR address, but no coins showed up? :/
Post by: derpson on October 20, 2011, 04:24 am
so after finally getting BTC following the 5 day wait to actually acquire the damn things, i sent the BTC from mtgox into SR using the address next to the "to deposit bitcoins use this address" prompt on my SR account page.

that was about 2.5 hours ago.

according to blockexplorer, the address in question has received 1 transaction of the amount of bitcoins that i sent to it. this indicates that the problem is on SR's end, no?

thoughts?

suggestions?

Been over 4+ hours for me:-(  Alot of scrilla to "lose", hope it shows for you AND me.  I used the same SR deposit address as last time and my MtGox account shows it went to the same place.  Guess I will just wait and/or be f'd.  I don't understand why it takes so long.  Only took like 2 hours last I did it.  Maybe there is alot of traffic/queues... :-[

well, at least we're not alone. hopefully when we wake up in the morning it'll have gone through. perhaps this is a leftover problem from the outage, or perhaps they slowed down the process due to the error or whatever.

fuck are our coins going to come through?!?!?
i sent 100BTC through and it's still not in my account!
i'm hoping delays have caused it to take longer
and that the server shutting down hasn't caused
it to be lost for ever.

does anyone know whats going on!!?

Morning now, SR is down, AGAIN.  Yeah, let's hope our 100BTC aren't lost in a server crash.  I transferred 100BTC too.  Getting mad >:(

Silk Road admin explain everything in the announcement thread here: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=4158.0

I'm hoping I didn't lose a BTC deposit in the middle of everything too, especially since I used an old address.
His last update says there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Lets just hope that isn't an oncoming train....

I also posted this in another thread:

I am also missing BTC in my Silk Road account that were sent on the 18th and 19th. I have been in communication with SR. He could not find record of the first transactions address being in the database. At this point, he also told me not to use old addresses (which I don't too all the time, I usually remember to generate a new one.) We also discussed the possibility of me sending the BTC to a different, non-SR related account on accident.

In the mean time, I sent more BTC to a newly generated Silk Road address. These never arrived at my account, either. I know for a fact the address I sent to is the one currently set as my profile on SR.

104.97BTC missing from my Silk Road account so far. I realize nothing will get addressed until the site is back up, but hope SR can promptly resolve this issue once SR is stable.

your btc are gone. when u sent those btc to ur SR account that was before it crashed to shit. those are randomly generated address it assigns you. the shit crashed which voided those addresses.  accord to ur mtgox it all went thru seeing as how SR does not have a bounce back feature. there's no way to retrieve those coins there stuck in limbo and you guys are assed out. 


this is what happens when you have. irresponsible and ameture site owners.  your btc are gone sorry guys. if I owned SR I would cut my losses cash in my btc and move on.

 :-[ Looks like this is a common occurrence at this point, but SR seems to be quite vocal about resolving the matter(s), let's all hope for the best.  The 4 day scrilla transfer, the several hour BTC buy, the transfer to SR, the outage, the hostaged BTC...so much process, that's why it makes everyone insane.  That, and I bet alot of people are hoping for Halloween fun!  We will all be antsy, but as long as we're not belligerent, things may work out.

If anyone resolves the "lost transfers", please speak up so we all know the process for getting 'refunds', etc. if needed.

You should wait to see what SR says before you start spreading stuff like this, only going to piss more people off.  They're busying fixing the servers at the moment, I'm sure when they come back they'll make it right with anyone who sent funds to an SR account and has not received them.

Although I am not missing anywhere near 100 bitcoins, I did transfer 14 bitcoins on the 19th.  MtGox shows that it went through, but SR still shows no deposits.  I know I used the right address because I copied and pasted it.  Hopefully this all gets resolved because I cant afford this if it keeps happening.

Just thought I'd throw in my testimony for y'all to see if I can be of any use.
On the 19th, I sent 100 btc to instawallet, then as soon as that cleared, I sent it to silkroad.
Not knowing I was going to need to remember the S.R. wallet address, I didnt write it down.
Its usually in the s.r. transaction history, but duh im retarded cuz it shows up there AFTER the money shows up so if the money doesnt show up, neither does the transfer. instawallet doesnt save that data so i have no idea wut address i sent my btc to, except it seems like it had the word "fag" in it, cuz i remember laughing at that.
So, anyway, that being sed, my btc are not there yet.
I don't think S.R. used more than a handful of older addresses. Does anyone know of one that has the word "fag" in the middle? :P
Because I need to tell S.R. so he can go find my btc!
I sent him an email about it, not expecting to hear back for awhile since its an issue everyones having, so i thought id record my progress here in case all works out, as apparently it did for dbrown.
k so, current state: waiting to hear back from S.R. if "fag" and "on wednesday between 4 and 8 mst" is enuff info to find my moneys.  :(
we'll see!
