Hello.
I used Bitinstant.com to deposit $40 USD into my bitcoin wallet. I got a confirmation e-mail, the whole bit. I e-mailed Bitinstant.com support, and they said that, according to Blockchain (or whatever website tracks bitcoin transactions), the transaction went through. However, my bitcoin wallet is showing a balance of 0.00. Here is my wallet address:
1bSghpW8R5cetRX7Aqoz5EobyQDHgpc4g
If it makes any difference, at the bottom of my wallet is a status bar that says "Synchronizing with Network... 32587 blocks remaining" and the number of blocks is steadily getting smaller. Does the sync need to be complete before I can send/receive money?
Please help! I'm going to be out $40, I'm afraid.
