Btw, this was the address i've got from a poker site. I didn't send the full amount immediately just for the reason of testing it. I have done this before on this exact same poker site and it got there fine, but that was months ago (at that time it was 50$ish). It's also a trusted poker site (iPoker skin), not the proverbial poker scam site.

This is exactly where I started before even posting here. Sorry, but in my eyes this link is technical mumbo jumbo. Level 1.2. From my limited experience i assume it will get there for sure, but i don't know up to how many hours it can take. I don't care about "nodes, confirmations, blocks". Neither does your father (probably) The reason I said what I said is because of my legitimate concern for you. Bitcoin is not like fiat currency, it requires a much higher level of user competence. Without this competence, you are susceptible to making mistakes that could cost you your coins. The fact that this is a BETA project and you want to use it but don't care to learn about it (and worse, you assume you don't need to learn about it) is alarming. I spent over a dozen hours researching Bitcoin before I even downloaded my first client. That's why i've sent 0.01 to "test the waters". I can risk this. But let me add some details. I'm not your sister, i'm your sister 2.0 I know more than you assume right now, but i'm really not interested in "nodes, etc discussion". From all that i've gathered about bitcoin i trust it enough to use it. But I will not get into the programming side because to me it's chinese. What are you going to say to all the grandmas, fathers, brothers out there? You tell them don't use it at all (don't even test it) unless you 100 percent understand the technical side of it? I doubt you do...

Try explaining this to your sister. I'm sure she will appreciate the "blocks and hashrate" discussion.

I don't care about "nodes, confirmations, blocks".
Why start this thread querying about confirmations then? Look at my first question. It's very layman. I asked if it's sure to get there and how much time can it take. I don't need the technical node stuff because it's almost like reading chinese.

Thanks. Finally a more layman answer. Some of you get all riled about because the noob doesn't understand the obvious (for you). Look, i made a transaction from Bitstamp and it was 0.01 (it's tiny but it's not super tiny and i assumed there was fee. I have read before that with "no fees" it could take more time. Uptil now i did let's say 50 transactions total and didn't get this experience of this many confirmations.

Also, i did my due before and google "bitcoin confirmations" and after 2 pages and half an hour couldn't fidn this." So fuck me for asking here. Next time, smartass, just avoid this post in the first place and go doing something productive for you.

Also, btw, there are different levels of knowledge and experience. I'm sure when you need something you also ask on a forum from time to time and you don't go through some "weed" ALL of the time. I'm level 1.2 and you're level 3.4 and you need a level 4 answer. Are you gonna search half an hour for the exact 4.1 answer or are you going to post a forum question?

The transaction get 1 confirmation the first time it is included in the blockchain, thereafter it gets a new confirmation each time a new block is found. Goes on to infinity.
Ok and is it 100 percent certainty it will get there? I've sent a test amount of bitcoins to some address and it's been hours. All the transactions i've done so far have gone through in under an hour with 6 max confirmations. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_PageYou really need to start here. From the questions you're asking, it makes me worried that you're using bitcoins at all. Funny. I'm not gonna dig through this weed. If you can't make a simple answer why even bother giving a link. To make a point "google knows everything point"? Great, victory for you.

Can't navigate through this salamy. By the amount of knowledge you demonstrate to have maybe you should start at the "Introduction" page Next time just answer the first question instead of wasting 2 posts.

Why so much and how much more can there be?
|
|

Someone has set a bid to buy a share for 3.5 bitcoin. Dude you want to fix that fast!
He lowered it to 2.666
|
|

I get that the higher bids are going to be filled first but at what point are those below IPO going to be filled? First in first out? If there are no bids for the total amount of shares at IPO or higher it means that those below get filled then?

They're doing a wonderful job at eroding confidence. Surely they know this. On purpose?

We do believe in what we are doing and we will continue with the usual energy and dedication. Again, advice for those who are holding is to wait until 30/10/2013 to take any final decision, those interested in acquiring shares should just take advantage of the current cheap prices.
Early October -> Mid October -> 2nd half of October-> 30.10.2013 BFL much?
