i just had a bitcoin deposit issue for the first time on ACR, i'm a bit of a hysteric (largely because i had 50K on Carbon Poker for almost a year before they, thankfully, straightened their mess out) but i'm wondering if this could be the beginning of major processing issues.
their deposits and withdrawals have always gone smoothly but i sent bitcoin last wednesday and the money finally appeared in my account after i contacted their support for the third time this morning...the rep had to investigate the matter for some time and seem confused about why the transaction was not complete.
ill have to read the articles and links in this thread because I'm pretty ignorant of all bitcoin related issues but i am seriously considering taking all my money off the 3 sites i play on. i was the first player to chime in on the carbon poker problem after i had a one week delay on a withdrawal and of course soon nobody could get their money off. i'll be following this thread closely
