According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Nothing, but there are hardly any miners on the testnet network. This may result is very large variations in confirmation speed.

Thanks this might be the reason ...it's just strange because some on the testnet have been confirmed 1,000 times but these one's are taking forever...
