I always transfer my btc out of SR as soon as there are around 100 btc in my account and up to now, it has been super fast and worked really well! and then today, I went to transfer 100 btc to my wallet, it said "error, try again in a few minutes" but it deducted the funds from my SR account, it even listed 100 btc withdrawal in my transactions on my SR account page but i have been waiting a while (and usually its rather instant) and nothing is showing up! I msgd Sr but has this happened to anyone else and did they get their money/btc back? I realy cant afford to lose 100 btc!!! I hope Sr can fix this for me or I am pretty fucked! plz lert me know if anyone has had this ahppen and how did it get resolved? thnx everyone and love SR still, i understand things happen, just hope it can get fixed! :'(

Same here. I have try to withdraw and got always timeout server message. When I finally got a homepage loaded funds are "transfered" but nothing show up.
But I am not worried. I am sure SR admin will sort it out.

Happened to me last night. Transferred coins, got the blank white screen when it finished, account was deducted by the amount of the transfer but they never showed up. Luckily not 100 BTC but enough that I would REALLY like to know where the fuck they are. Please keep this updated if you hear from SR, I would be grateful. The infrastructure here needs some improvements to say the least ...

have you guys checked blockexplorer?
-
I just tested it with 11 or so, and it worked well. Although, my alert system went off after reading your post...........since there is probably a small fortune being pumped in right now.

blockexplorer.com
Put the address of your silk road BTC waller in the search box, and it will give you a list of all bitcoin transactions involving that wallet. See if the money left it.
Don't try to follow the money, though. SR's tumbling is very well-done, and will get you utterly lost. You really just need to see if it's still there or not.

STILL NOTHING!!! CAN SOMEONE AT SR ADMIN AT LEAST PLZ ANSWER THE THREAD OR ONE OF MY MSGS!! IF A VENDOR SCAMMED A BUYER FOR 100BTC, IT WOULD BE HELL ALL OVER THE BOARDS BUT WHEN VENDORS GET SCREWED OUT OF COINS, NO ONE SEEMS TO GIVE A SHIT OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE IT HAPPENED, I AM REALLY FEELING DISRESPECTED, FRUSTRATED AND WORRIED RIGHT NOW!!! CAN SOMEONE, ANYONE AT SR AT LEAST GIVE ME/US (SINCE IT SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED TO A FEW PPL) WHAT HAPPENED? IS IT BEING FIXED? AND WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET OUR COINS BACK?
I DO MY BEST TO MAKE THIS A GREAT PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO SHOP AND GET GREAT, HONEST SERVICE, i ONLY THINK ITS FAIR THAT i GET THE SAME TREATMENT, NO?
AM I ALONE HERE OR DOES ANYONE ELSE AGREE THAT THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED FASTER? ESPECIALLY SINCE i CANT REUP AND SEND OUT THE PKGS PPL ARE WAITING ON BECAUSE OF THIS AND ARE THEY GONNA BLAME SR OR THE BTC SYSTEM? NO! THEY ARE ALL GONNA COME FOR MY HEAD!! ANYWAYS, ENOUGH OF MY VENTING BUT CAN SOME ADMIN PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ HELP ME OUT HERE! I REALLY NEED THOSE COINS BACK ASAP!!!!!! :'(

I hear ya wumg, this sucks for sure! I have confidence that it'll get resolved, but not quickly and not without a lot of unnecessary effort on the parts of everyone who is dealing with this. I understand that this whole place is really too big to manage and run efficiently given the resources available, but I think that's why they should slow down on registrations for a bit until they can actually fucking deal with serious issues, LIKE THE VENDORS WHO SUPPORT THEM HAVING THEIR MONEY DISAPPEAR INTO THIN AIR WHEN THEY MOVE IT FROM THEIR LEFT POCKET TO THEIR RIGHT POCKET.
It's frustrating for real. But what else can we do besides deal with the bullshit? Maybe us vendors could pool resources and coin-roll a functional operation...I calculate that SR is currently taking in BTC at a rate of about $1m a year based on their transaction volume and commission schedule...why is there no competition?
Oh, before this happened I also noticed by account stopped auto withdrawing...
-
@chilliP
i always wanted to set up auto withdraw but wasnt clear how it owrked exactly. can you tell me how it works? thnx! 8)
-
I had this happen to me and no shitstorm was made of it either. Only after a few weeks I got my btc refunded by SR himself. It was about a 37btc and 22 btc transfer which also never arrived. I sent a message to SR that I would be doing out of escrow till the 59btc would have been reached in commissions which I would take then. SR then promptly refunded the 59 btc :D
-
This just happend to me on one of the btc withdraws, all of the rest went through except one, i contacted sr support as well, so your not alone here brother
-
can't believe it still hasn't been figured out. hope it finds its way home soon.
-
Still nothing :(
No pm from SR either :(

This is mighty scary to those of us who are new on here. It's also the wrong time for it to happen with the sale going on, or is it?
-
Well, that is the first time (I am 7 month here) and I am assured that SR will solve it, just matter of the time.
Also wumg and I are vendors who try to withdraw coins to e-wallet.
There is no need of being worried...
-
The EXACT same thing happened to me a week or so ago. I informed SR and he credited my account in about 2-3 days. I've received that error before without an issue, but like yours, it said error yet it withdrew but nothing showed up.
I even tracked it with the btc address and nothing showed up on that as well..
Im sure it will be taken care of..
-
Same boat, transferred about 600usd this morning, got the same error message and coins have vanished into the ether. Checked block explorer and nothing is there either.
-
I'm missing about 160BTC.. This has happened to me before, and SR always fixes it within a couple days. It's a little annoying but it always gets worked out in the end.
-
I had this happen last week with 20btc. I now make tons of small withdrawals every day or so to reduce the inconvenience of a messed up withdraw. SR read my message within 24 hours and took care of it for me as well as apologized and explained it was something they were aware of and working on.
-
Lots a small chunk of BTC to this same thing. Messaged SR, still waiting to hear back ... I'm a little relieved to hear people got it found and replaced within a couple days, but definitely makes me leery to withdraw my funds. I need that money for operations.. not sitting in limbo in cryptocurrencyland.

Same thing here, i was withdrawin and then timeout... Hope that they are working on a solution...
:)
-
same problem. got reimbursed after a few days by admin tho :) It has happened to me about 3 or 4 times now. i am scared to withdrawal coins since this problem occurred on multiple withdrawal attempts.
-
Admin just return my message and my coin. All is right in the world.
-
me too, finally got msg from SR and they sending me my 100 btc back now :)
-
yes, SR sent me back the btc too!
-
SR admin sorted for me too, what I have expected. :)
-
I got the same error message but SR credited me anyways :)
-
Damn, happened again :(
I am in same situation one more time, timeout message but failed transfer.
-
Wanted to update my situation with lost coins in the Transfer process.
Received a message from SR admins, with a quick apology, they are working on the issue, and they re-instated my coins back into my account.
Hope everyone else comes out correct in the end, I have no doubt they are working on the problem, just be patient as always.

Wow that sucks dude...
-
Same... but for me it was only a <1btc transfer! So I am hardly too worried about it. I PMed SR about it on the marketplace. To be frank I felt a little petty complaining about losing <1btc, but at the time I didn't realise others were experiencing the same thing too.
Hopefully it will get sorted soon or vendors will be getting very nervous, especially with all the increased trading that has no doubt been going on this weekend!
Edit: SR responded to my PM within 24 hours and refunded me, saying they thought they had it fixed now.
-
It happened to me the other day, and I waited....and then it showed up in my wallet 2 days later. I'm guessing they have a way of identifying and fixing the problem, if/when it happens.
-
Moved 138 BTC out of my SR account and it hasn't showed up. Been over a day. Have written the admin and still nothing, message is unread.

Same here

I've had it happen 3 times. First time I got an apology message (which was nice) and they corrected the btc amount in my account. The second time, the transaction took a couple days.. (I think they found my email and un-snagged the transaction). The third time, it took 24 hours for it to arrive, even though I had a few more make it through between it leaving and finally showing up.
Obviously its a glitch they are working on. First rule is not to panic, then the second is patience. Should be fine in the end. I don't think SR is gonna go rogue bandit just yet. Gotta milk this beautiful cow.

There are two more threads down below in the tech support forum. Be sure to check those out too, guys.

Good Luck! Sorry to hear this :(

It's pretty ridiculous to me that the withdrawal system has this many issues and that SR is taking so long to get back to the vendors who hold this community up.
