I just noticed something strange. I have my account set for automatic payment, and I apparently got a payout this morning at 7 AM. I didn't see it when I turned on the Bitcoin client to check my wallet, though. I checked the transaction under the Payments page, and when I clicked on it, the block explorer just said "No such transaction". Is this normal? Do payments usually take a while to show up anywhere? Because if not, 3 BTC of mine is in limbo somewhere...
Yes, if your bitcoin client is not online at the time of payment, it can take up to some hours in worst case.
Bitcoin Block Explorer shows your transaction only when it's already included in a block and this block is received by BBE server.
If there is a payment in your payments table - you will receive it.
Have trouble like Nicoli. But in difference I am using "Istant payout"
Where is my bitcoins?
Today my bitcoind was restarted, so a number of payout transactions was not included in pool's own blocks. They will be included by some other miners in up to a few hours.
Please wait.
