Title: 520 blocks?
Post by: aso118 on May 17, 2013, 06:56:16 PM
Bitcoins require 6 blocks in order to confirm (60 mins) while other cryptocoins require 15 blocks to confirm (30 mins).  Why do several of the new coins require 520?  It just seems like a random number.  Why not 500, 640, or 1000?

Nobody else thinks 520 is a random number?
