Waiting for six confirmations is enough, as it's been shown both in theory and in practice. I was correcting the parent as saying Bitcoin loses transactions is false. The network never loses a valid unconfirmed transaction.

I agree... I didn't even realize there was a videos section between the "Try it" and the "Features" section until I read your comment.

A tool doesn't fail because it's difficult, it fails if its difficulty is not worth the results it produces. A chainsaw is more difficult than a plain old saw. You gotta make sure it's fueled up, oiled and whatnot. You might
