How long does it take to transfer BTCs to Tradehill?

[dego]

Hi everyone,

I am new to Tradehill and maybe you can tell me how long it usually takes to transfer BTCs to my Tradehill account. I made a transfer of some BTCs to my TH account more than 12hours ago. Usually BTCs are transferred rapidly through the network so I don't really understand why it takes so long...

any ideas?

depends on the network hashrate and the given transaction fees - i had sometimes delays of over 12 hrs - you may also check http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/ for all unconfirmed transactions

Ok, I just recieved em as I posted the above message, after ~14hrs. Bitcoin7 is much faster. Takes me ~10mins to get my BTCs in and even less to get em out....

Yes, I know that there is a controversial debate about Bitcoin7's security measures (you'll find many posts about that), but until now I am rather surprised how good it works. Unfortunately it is lacking of enough members...

Before the mtgox incident, it didn't take any longer than ordinary BTC transactions.

Ok, thanks for sharing that information. Could it be that they check transactions manually before letting them show up in my TH balance?

~14 hrs? Yikes, thanks for the info. I haven't tried them yet but that's pretty rough. Hopefully they're able to cope with the increased load they're getting and speed things up a bit.
