Is this some sort of fucking joke? I sent the fucking coins. They are not in my wallet anymore. A few hours? Is this for real? It's been 10 minutes now.

holy shit you're actually retarded
Why is this funny
OP right now
>>58139303
Yeah? Thats how bitcoin works, dude. You can pay an extra transaction fee to get it in the blockchain faster.
>>58139303
Hashing is not that easy mate
>>58139368
This. If you do like 30c it'll be within 10 minutes.
>>58139303
Yeah, it makes sense if you understand how bitcoin works, but you're right its a bit stupid and really not user friendly. Bitcoin is a half baked idea.
>>58139303
oh yea. your wallet got raided by someone with sha-256 race condition capability
20 minutes now lads
LOVING Bitcoin so far

You do realize that Steam is under heavy traffic right now, right?
>>58139435
it's okay friend, you can still join the party
its not too late

>>58139456
This isn't on Steam though, it's the "blockchain"
Anyway it looks like I can download the game even though the transaction is still pending on my wallet app so it's not as bad as I thought.
I'm starting to get a sneaky feeling that OP just wants to bash BTC by complaining about it. Wew lad, i guess bitcoin's just a meme after all!
>>58139410
tha haaaaxors already took your money.
>>58139303
why would you even do that? I mean, you could have just bought the fucking game directly
>>58139548
If you don't like technology then why are you here?
>>58139634
But how did OP pay for the bitcoin? CC? So not anonymous. And Steam actively collects data on you as given in their privacy policy, so also not anonymous. There's literally no reason to buy bitcoin to use on Steam, other than wasting your time.
>>58139634
sure i do, but adding another unnecessary step is just retarded.
use bitcoin for what it was made for, buying something and staying anonymous dong it
>>58139687
Or to spend your bitcoins

>Decide to try out Bitcoin on Steam

Not in OP's case.
>>58139687
>>58139695
I said I wanted to try Bitcoins. I don't need a reason.
Downloading a wallet, sending with a QR code etc was all new to me.
