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

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.

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

It is impossible to "reject" incoming transaction

I guess whats missing is "to be used as inputs". E.g. core default behaviour is not to use unconfirmed TXs as inputs.

Only 1.

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.

No. Zero is the right answer. Peek into a few weak brain wallets and you'll see...

[helloeverybody]

I always wait more like an hour before i decide to send anything out. i like just to be extra sure. overkill i know but by that point plenty of confirmations usually.

i have been able to send may bitcoin immediatly, the fact that you are waiting to see the downloaded block chain does not stop you from sending your coins

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...
