Title: Newbie needs help trading BTC with mtgox
Post by: basscheese on February 11, 2012, 09:04:59 AM
Ok so someone sent me 10 bitcoins from the bitcoin client to my mt.gox address. He sent me a screenshot saying it went through on his end but I still haven't received them. Anyone tell me something a newbie could be missing. Like a possible mistake? Or do I just need to wait longer than a few hours.


Thank you so much guys

You need to wait for 6 confirmations. Put your address in http://blockchain.info. If the transaction is not there, he hasn't sent it.

In my past experiences, it takes 2 hours max. Usually a little over an hour.
