after a few research i have found out that you need atleast 3-6 confirmation for your bitcoin to be creditted to your wallet. but mine has 70++ confirmation and still nothing. i gambled from satoshidice and i withdrew my earnings but its still not in my wallet. can someone explain why? thanks in advance

Blockchain.info service problems most likely. Contact their support.

okay thanks so thats the only possible reason?

Blockchain.info credits you the bitcoins instantly. You don't need any confirmations but to be able to spend the btc you need at least 1 confirmation.

if blockchain.info is operating normall, all transactions to your wallet should reflect to your balance instantly even without confirmation. however when there are some kind of issues in their server sometimes your balance wont reflect exactly on the total balance of your wallet.

ok ok thanks

Confirmation will take a while if you sent the coins with a low fee. Also confirmations will always depends on every transaction so don't expect that you will get it that fast with 2-3 confirmations unless the transaction is in high priority.

Coins are shown instantly on your address but would be in the unconfirmed state. Check your address for the transaction on explorers like blocktrail.com. If it is there, export your private key and try loading it on a SPV client. This is most likely a problem with their service.

Online services like exchange or trading POS does require several confirmations for deposits to show up though. But transaction shows up immediately on most wallets that aren't shared.

true


the bolded part should me MINERS IMO coz they are the ones who are responsible for transactions confirmation

Which wallet do you use?

Maybe it is a problem with their sync process, the wallet can't connect to the internet or still is syncing.

Maybe is some bug with the wallet, if a online one.

Also check if the balance has not already been spent by you or someone else

Confirmations are just not ready yet,sometimes it takes a little longer due to some problems with the chain.

What do you mean by that? Confirmations are ready unless the transaction is a coinbase transaction and the wallet needs to wait 120 confirmations for it to be spendable in that case. Satoshidice does not use coinbase transactions to credit users. 70 confirmation shouldn't be a problem with the chain.

OP, verify your address and whether you sent it correctly. Check the address on various other block explorers and verify if they are confirmed too.

In my personal experience, the only problem of blockchain.info wallet to me is I can't spend an unconfirmed input, and I can spend them even if it have only 1 confirmation.

Can you post your bitcoin address and tx which have the issue?? This could help us to spot out your problem more easily.

If transaction says it is already confirmed than it should be blockchain.info bug. They usually get on maintainance mode for few hours, you may have checked your account at that time. Try after sometime and if you find same situation contact their support.

Have you try to check your tx id with other block exlporer??

And also try to check your bitcoin address with other wallet??

It could be the problem is on blockchain.info wallet. Then i suggest you to move into another wallet.
