Hi,

I'm quite new to bitcoin but am now absolutely obsessed with it. My first time buying bitcoin involved meeting a stranger in a pub and giving him big wad of cash, which probably sounds quite stupid. He initiated a transaction from his smart phone to a wallet that I had set up previously. Over the next hour we observed the confirmations on blockchain and he kindly explained some points of confusion that I'd been having about bitcoin. I'm sure there are safer ways of buying bitcoins, but I don't regret this experience in the least. He was a massive enthusiast and it was great hearing about the social meetup aspect of bitcoin.

Anyway, cool story bro, I'm sure. I'm here to learn more about bitcoins and hopefully sell a few possessions; I plan on travelling around the world using bitcoin as heavily as possible over fiat currencies.

Thanks and hello.

Upon transaction, the coins showed in my wallet almost immediately, and then 6 confirmations on the blockchain took about an hour. I guess that's about normal? I've since learnt important lessons about transaction fees i.e. pay them; someone sent me coins but forgot to include transaction fees and the same number of confirmations took about 8 hours.

How long did it take for the Bitcoins to be credited to your wallet?

It usually is instant as an unconfirmed transaction.
