Usually you need to wait till getting 3 confirmations at least so the transaction get the "confirmed" status and then you can easily sending the btc received to someone else without problems Title: Re: how many confirmations do i need to send? Post by: knightkon on December 28, 2015, 08:45:53 PM I have had transactions with 3 and even 5 confirmations and they were not completed where I could resend the bitcoin. I normally just sit and wait about 20-30 minutes. by then I get at least 6+ and it is ready to send.

The answer is: you are able to send these funds immidiately. But some client software do not allow you to do it. Title: Re: how many confirmations do i need to send? Post by: wadii33 on December 28, 2015, 09:55:39 PM you can send it immediatly but better to wait about half an hour or to get atlest 6 confirmation because some websites and softwares reject txs with low or low confirmations

E.g. core default behaviour is not to use unconfirmed TXs as inputs. Title: Re: how many confirmations do i need to send?

If problem occurs (Example : forked blocks) ... all the chain are recovery between the 1 confirmation and the 6 confirmation. Usual mining reward take 100 confirmations.

Usually I need just one confirmation to send out any funds from a BTC address that has recently received some (I am more familiar with blockchain.info's wallets more though). But the amounts I send are small. I note that bitmixer.io requires more than one confirmation for LARGE quantities of BTC. Sometimes just that one confirmation can take some time though, especially when I am in a hurry... |
