Does btc.sx count as shorting (leveraged trading)?  IDK, I think all exchanges kind of work, especially with a bot.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Yes, of course, he even wrote that in his post. Oo And no, only some exchanges offer leveraged trading. And i did not hear from a bot, someone can buy, that is using leveraged trading.
Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

Leverage is there just to increase the size of your opened position. With leverage 1x you invest let's say 1 BTC and open long or short position worth 1 BTC, with leverage 2x you invest 1 BTC and borrow 1 BTC from btc.sx to open long or short position worth 2 BTC, etc. Higher the leverage, the more money you borrow from btc.sx and thus increase the risk. With leverage 10x price needs to move only 10% against you (bet on price going up but instead it goes down) and you'll end up wipped out but if you guessed price movement correctly then you'll double your investement when price goes up only 10%.
