Title: Sending Bitcoins to SR
Post by: zerostate976 on February 24, 2012, 10:47 pm
If I have someone send coins to my SR wallet but the site is down, will they still make it?

Bitcoin wallets are just addresses. Their value value is determined by the public bitcoin transaction history which basically occurs outside of SR. Even if SR is down that address can still receive bitcoins. Of course, spending those bitcoins would require SR.
