Bitcoin doesn't support finality. It is what you want and a feature that bitcoin
is known for NOT supporting it.  Your proposal about making it a command line option
is void and dangerous and escalates network splits in legit chain re-write situations.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
This is only a warning message on the screen. How can it escalates anything?  Grin
Is my English so bad?  Shocked
Obviously the problem is bigger than just your English, or,  may be it is ... take a course and read more about bitcoin to understand how different nodes with different parameters diverge and do not agree on the same chain. Lesson 1: when nodes do not agree on the same chain, it is called chain split, in English. Cheesy

OK, I will do it myself for my local client.
your node will become isolated and worth shit in case of a re-write. Without such an event you have done nothing! bitcoin is not a joke or a toy, be more humble  Wink

Lol, you are outrailing your own topic  Tongue
He knows shit, transaction malleability is not the discovery of the century, bitcoin is more complicated than what junior hackers would imagine. Also by taking a course I meant an English course that might help reading more viable resources than yellow pages in social media.  cheers

Obviously they won't be confused if they don't know something may be on-going, i thought we're talking about showing message/information/warning to all users Huh

My first idea was that client (bitcoin-qt) should display this message immediately in case of
blockchain has been reorganized. But I do not like hardcoded voluntary assigned constants,
for example, 3 blocks for mainnet and 20 blocks for testnet. And we will spend too much time
discussing the message itself.

So, it would be better to configure this behaviour in command-line arguments or bincoin.conf
file and show no warning by default.

It would be much better if somebody with good English skills suggest this proposal to core developers.

Looks like we have different opinion/view in this case.
My poor English! I wanted to say absolutely the same! I do not know why you think that our opinions are different  Grin
