Title: quick newbie btc transfer problem...
Post by: shopper1888 on August 05, 2012, 10:53 pm
I have transfered my btc from mtgox to another wallet which was fine - it showed up straight away even though not confirmed at that time.

After it was processed I sent them onto my SR wallet but they are not showing up straight away like they did above - I thought they would show up but with the proviso

Please be patient, it may take a few hours for the Bitcoin network to confirm the transaction.
.

can anyone put my mind at rest or is there a problem you can see?

thanks

Did you generate a new bitcoin address before transferring them to silk road?

If they aren't there in 6 hours, contact support with the bitcoin address you sent them from and your silk road bitcoin address you sent them to.

Be patient with support, it may take days for them to resolve the problem, but you will eventually get your coins.

How exactly would I find the address bitcoins were sent "from"? I didn't think this was possible. At least not with the standard client.

I use blockchain.info and look up the silk road bitcoin address that I sent the coins to. It will show you the address it came from.
