I just made couple of transactions ,and all transactions take up to 30 minutes to get first confirmation,so I am thinking even the first confirmation take so much times , will that means Bitcoin is not a good way to do payment?
And I notice that the vitality of the Bitcoin network,actually,is weaker than before ?why ? Because many miners dropped out?

When I swipe creditcard at the store money doesn't leave my account until the next day.
I guess I should wait a full day to get that candy bar then.

It takes at least 6 months for a non-refundable transaction.

It would take at least 30 hours if you want to wire transfer at a bank, 30mins is extremely quick if you ask me.

30 minutes is not too late. If you want them quickly then add more miner fee.

If you swipe your credit card, the credit card company should provisionally debit your account the amount of the transaction before it is finalized. After the transaction is "finalized", you as a consumer have 60 days from the time you receive your statement (for a total of roughly 90 days from the time of the transaction) to dispute the transaction. From that time, there is an unknown additional time the bank has to forward the dispute to the merchant, however the bank has 30 days to respond, or if they cannot complete their research within that time, they can extend it by an additional (I believe) 45 days). Even if a dispute is successful a merchant is still able to take legal action against a consumer if they received goods/services but did not pay (because of the dispute), although this is very costly

Was he buying a candy bar? To do a double spend you set up a transaction on the other side of the world and set up your transaction. When you do your current transaction you quickly process your transaction on the other side of the world. The transaction is grouped in among miners on both sides of the world, whichever miner gets that block will be the successful transaction. Once it sees that that transaction already occurred it will be dropped. After the first 10 minutes it is pretty much set. But it is just about mathematically impossible after 60 minutes.

Seriously I'm just wondering is it due to the codes or how it is supposed to work that way or is there the common factors like miners issue. It can take 5 minutes to receive first confirmation but sometimes it drags until half an hour. Just what are the variables that cause this inconsistency

It could be due to any number of factors. If you didn't send it with a fee, it may have taken some extra time to process.

But don't rely on blockchain.info it shows "No Transaction Found" but actually your transaction is processes and being confirmed. Just check on other block explorers too like btc.blockr.io

Finding blocks is a random process. Random processes, by their very nature, are not regular, so there is no regular interval between blocks. Instead, the difficulty is adjusted automatically by all miners so that 6 blocks are generated per hour on average. Onkel Paul

I thought confirmations were 10 minutes usually at max?
No. http://btc.blockr.io/block/list/327489 2014-10-29 11:44:39 327488 2014-10-29 11:01:10 generation of block is variable ... like the demand and offer on bitcoin. but block generation median time is rock stable : https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty -on the left- 1 block: 9.8 minutes 3 blocks: 29.2 minutes 6 blocks: 58.5 minutes

it may depend on the site where you play. I never make transactions even in less than 1 minute. so bitcoin still okay I guess

I think you set the fee low while the tx size is high, so confirmation time is long Usually if you use default fee (0.0001 BTC), confirmation time only 3 - 10 minutes
If you use online wallet, let the wallet set the fee automatic Or you can set higher fee
