Title: Bitcoin-QT Question
Post by: oppadoppa on December 05, 2013, 10:10:52 PM
7 hours ago I sent money to another persons bitcoin adress and he claims that they still hasnt showed up.
When I look at the transaction I see the information: Confirmed ( 68 confirms) and these are still counting upwards,
( like 5 confirms an hours).

Has these confirms anything to do with the supposedly delayed transfer? Because I look at older transactions and
these confirms has stopped to grow so to speak. They stopped at 1277 / 387 confirms.

Should I have to wait for days before the transaction is through??

Appreciated if I could get some help!

you can always check your trasaction ID on blockchain, you will know if the person has received the BTC...

If the transaction has confirmations, then it is sent and is in the blockchain.  One of the following has happened:

  • The recipient has accidentally given you the wrong bitcoin address.
  • You have accidentally sent to the wrong bitcoin address.
  • The recipient has a problem with their wallet that they need to resolve.
