listsinceblock help returns:

Quote
listsinceblock ( "blockhash" target-confirmations )

Get all transactions in blocks since block [blockhash], or all transactions if omitted

Arguments:
1. "blockhash"   (string, optional) The block hash to list transactions since
2. target-confirmations:    (numeric, optional) The confirmations required, must be 1 or more

I sent a coin to my wallet and a few seconds later I executed listsinceblock 1. My transaction was just broadcasted so it had 0 confirmations, as expected. Note the target-confirmations parameter above which must be greater than 0 no matter what.

So for my test I executed bitcoin-cli listsinceblock 0000000008eb5d53efbb39d2cb9f595e5bd567c295936de5c2282bbb8ef46cf0 1 which returned:

Quote
{
    "transactions" : [
        {
            "account" : "",
            "address" : "mzE6DJMHPghYpVg4GCurMbxSSXBfW1KCFH",
            "category" : "receive",
            "amount" : 1.00000000,
            "confirmations" : 0,
            "txid" : "917248d57293a7fd3a88aa3a26026d2e4d6a1d4eef898519b20419f2339c265c",
            "walletconflicts" : [
            ],
            "time" : 1399200157,
            "timereceived" : 1399200157
        }
    ],
    "lastblock" : "0000000004ba22e9f8cea2e843b34f7eeaa2c3b7004ddcf19bfd8af0215fc0cc"
}

Note that the above transaction has 0 confirmations, however listsinceblock is supposed to operate beyond 1 confirmations (which is weird, as I am polling listsinceblock to get new transactions that are always unconfirmed, after Gavin's tip: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/2171/11221).

What am I missing here?

See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/199#issuecomment-1514952 it's a bit confusing!
