Hello, everybody,
The coins finally came thru. I really worried my ass off for nothing. I thought everyone was wrong about the "just wait" phrases. I thought this was a rare occurrence that could only happen to me, but about 50 hours later, the Coins came!!!!
Thanks a million though for everyone's help and input.
Actually, in this case it probably had nothing to do with Bitcoin directly, but rather with blockchain.info's implementation. Blockchain.info has been having some difficulties with transactions getting "stuck" the past few weeks. They've issued a statement about it:
