Title: Confirmed Transfer from Wallet to SR, but no BTC showing up?
Post by: GonnaGetThere on April 12, 2013, 03:58 am
Hi everyone, I'm new here but I do have experience with Bitcoin. Transferred BTC to the correct address of my SR Wallet, have 3 confirmations through Blockchain, and yet it is not showing up here! Is it not instant for this site?

Any help would be appreciated, don't want my money to poof away ya know...

It's not instant. Usually it takes 6 confirmations before it will show up.

patience is a virtue. Generally at 6 confirms SR tumbler is triggered to apply the balance to your account. This can take take a bit of time, especially if some of the confirms were very close together or reported from same source, i.e one of the big guys finding several blocks in short time.

There is usually not a problem unless you get past 12 hours or so without your balance being updated. If that is the case then you would contact support on SR with your BTC transaction info.

All good now, thanks
