Title: How many confirmations to get BTC into SR wallet?
Post by: Freeman on October 25, 2011, 02:45 am
So I sent my BTC to my SR wallet over 5 hours ago and I even donate the 0.01BTC for speedier transactions...currently have 24 confirmations but no money in the wallet. :(

It takes 6 confirmations before the transaction is confirmed.  There is something else going wrong here.

45 confirmations and still nothing...I double checked the address on my account page and the address I sent the BTC to and they match.  I messaged SilkRoad but they haven't gotten back to me yet. :-(

It is one of the many 'bottlenecks' in internet transfer of btc.  Usually a few hrs, but I've had it take as long as 24, so probably, that's all it is.  Having said that, I find SR extremely good about taking care of btc problems.  If you sent them, and didn't get them, they'll usually make it good.  Again, it's a tough area, as I usually need them there *now* on some vendors, so I try to get some in there early, but when btc are headed south, I don't like to...best wishes to you, can be nervewracking, I know...

SR mixes the coins and it takes longer.  It is not just a simple transfer and it is to protect buyers and sellers.

I know this is an old topic, but I'm having the same issue. 12 confirmations and still nothing. I'm sure it will eventually get here, but as was mentioned earlier, I would like to get an order in now lol!
