Oooooh a whole dollar! Wow! Thank you!
It'd take me like 3 days to get that much on the free sites, haha
I'll log in and check now! ^_^
That is so awesome of you :3
You guys are gonna make my excitement shoot through the roof, and I'm already like a newly adopted puppy
You're welcome; it's a negligible amount but it'll keep growing. I first learned about BTC when it was hardly $15 a piece. I remember charging a person 6$ worth of BTC for a painting when I first joined this site, and now that's $100.
This is the first time I ever receive anything. How long does it take? What time can I count on?
I couldn't find out about that. If my mom will be half as excited as I am, I want to send her a little bit, so she can be fully as excited
It'll usually take an hour before the transaction has 6 confirmations; that's a block solved every 10 minutes, just about. By the first confirmation it's practically yours, and the rest are for security. As Bitcoin is basically a distributed ledger, it depends on all clients to agree on which transactions occurred; the more confirmations, the more you can rest assured they did indeed occur. Six seems to be the magic number; I suppose it fits well within an hour so that's the one that was decided on.
