Title: Left over BTC
Post by: JamesTaylor on March 07, 2012, 03:34 am
Hey guys I got a quick question. I recently did my first order on SR and I have a few btc left. Im wondering if it is a good/safe idea to leave them on SR. Or should I be transferring them somewhere. If someone can give me a website where I can store them, I would appreciate it.

You might as well just leave them be since you're just going to end up needing more coins to spend anyway.

How long will SR hold on to your savings? Weeks? months?

There's a back-up address you can leave so that in case SR shuts down they can send them there.  But if it's only a few coins don't sweat it.  Play one of the lottery's.  Or there's some cheap THC edibles you can buy.

Yeah I added my bitcoin wallet address (on my pc) as a backup address on my SR profile.
This way they can send them back to you if the site closes or whatever.

Yeah it's good to know that if, god forbid, SR ever shut down they'll send your BTC to your back-up.  I tend to only transfer to SR what I need to buy.  I'll leave exactly one dollar in the account to see what they are valuing one bitcoin for.
