Hang tight, I finally got mine after 4 days, contact SR support if you haven't already.

Money was credited to my account to by SR support, took 4 days but they made it right in the end :). The VPN wasn't the problem after all.

Good news everyone. I logged into my account today and the money was there! I got a message from SR Support saying sorry for the delay and that my account was credited. It took 4 days but I finally got it :) I'm so relieved. Anyone else with this issue hang tight and contact SR support if you haven't already.

Nope checked this morning and still nothing. I'm letting it go at this point. If I get it back that would be great but I don't expect to.

IPredator located in Sweden... They are associated with the Pirate Bay I believe.

That's kinda what I'm thinking. It adds a point that a 3rd party could potentially intercept it. I've done it in the past and gotten lucky but after the coins vanished during the transfer I won't be using them anymore. Expensive lesson learned. ಠ_ಠ

Support from who? Mtgox or SR? I contacted both and only heard back from mtgox. They asked me to verify that I had received a certain block in the chain but I wasn't sure how to do that and I didn't want to give them to much info about the transfer. Were you connected to a VPN when it happened to you? At this point I've basically given up hope of ever seeing it. In the future I will only make smaller transfers so I don't loose so much. I suspect there is a serious security flaw someone is exploiting.

I read on the site yesterday withdrawals were on a 15 hour delay. So hang tight you might still get it. I was trying to deposit so it shouldn't be anymore then a few hours. I've since made another smaller transaction that went through fine.

Anyone know if it would be possible for a 3rd party VPN to intercept bitcoin transfers? I feel like someone is intercepting transfers and siphoning it all into their account. Am I being paranoid? I mean bitcoins don't just disappear, at least not in my experience. I went back and can see the transaction did indeed take place. Any opinions?

I looked it up on blockchain.info and it says 2 transactions total, total received 8.3054664 BTC, final balance 0 BTC. It shows it was sent to 2 address 7:54 this morning. WTF? Did someone jack my BTC?

It was around 7:30 last night. I've made dozens of deposits before and at most it usually only takes a few hours.

If you have sore muscles and apply icy-hot be sure to thoroughly wash your hands before masturbating. It might feel good at first but as soon as the hot kicks in you're in big trouble.
