>>5 hours??! Wow, thanks for your patience, really
When I receive the payment notification I often check if the
>> balance has decreased, and it has. Sometimes it takes a while for the receiver to see its balance increased (it
>> happens to me when I move money between wallets). But still, 5 hours... it must have been an exceptional case.
well, i just checked my transfers from deepbit -- 1h 30min average between DeepBit Payment tab time and my client time.
in dontcompare's case PP payment were at 25.08.2011 23:35:37 UTC+3
and client lists transaction as Date: 8/26/11 06:57 UTC+3
block explorer lists that transaction as: 2011-08-26 03:57:36 UTC
even sending from one wallet to another isn't instant, IIRC ( don't want to restart client now to check
)
I think sender see immediate balance decrease, but not receiver.
(Hint, maybe, it worth to write on exchange page about this delay
)
