Todd explained that a high probability exists for the activation of SegWit via BIP 91 which will lead to multiple reorganisations. Amidst such change, Todd noted that users should only accept transactions with six confirmations for security purposes. Peter Todd wrote: “More Warning: if/when BIP 91 activates, there's a high chance it'll lead to multiple reorganizations. Do not trust one confirmation transactions for now; wait for six+ confirmations.” “BIP 91-related double-spends are likely to be a temporary event that's mostly resolved in only a few hours or days; this is a one-time risk. Since BIP 91-related dbl-spends are very likely to be a one-time event, a valid strategy could do nothing, and shut down if losses happen.” SOURCES: https://cointelegraph.com/news/peter-todd-wait-for-6-confirmations-after-bip-91-activates http://www.tradingigbtc.com/2017/07/peter-todd-wait-for-6-confirmations.html https://news.bitcoin-babe.com/2017/07/19/peter-todd-wait-for-6-confirmations-after-bip-91-activates/ https://bitcoininvestmentnews.bankofcommunity.com/2017/07/19/peter-todd-wait-for-6-confirmations-after-bip-91-activates/ [IMAGE CREDIT](https://cointelegraph.com/images/725_Ly9jb2ludGVsZWdyYXBoLmNvbS9zdG9yYWdlL3VwbG9hZHMvdmlldy9hZDc2YjAzNDYyOWM4NWI4NGMyYzcyMjcyZDhjYThlMC5qcGc=.jpg) http://imgur.com/DhJ4oD0.gif ================= MAKE MONEY BLOG: http://Downline4life.com DONATIONS: Ethereum: 0xdfdB32dC8543a810984c4e33507723B67e1Fb324 Bitcoin: 1JXAc2s6UDhX5VqiJD3NHWB4Lqh3Q5doRi IOTA Miota : VUAKY9DLNHZWMACMEKBPPWQUFU9DLYKDJICVDEKMIQLUECSXAIYKGYHZXGFWPXDZKJYUJUMCOWJTFXLVC9OIESGJBG
