Wait for 30 confirmations? that will take a looooong time.

Use Bitcoin Core and you won't have to wait for 30 confirmations.

Whats wrong [...] ?

Some miners didn't verify the validity of blocks after the enforcement of the latest BIP. These miners then continued to mine on an invalid chain.

[...] how worried should we be ?

About 28.5% worried.

ya.ya.yo!
What is bitcoin core and can i update my blockchain.info wallet with it ? im having lots of troubles with my blockchain,waiting over 40 hours for confirmations and its really anoying me,please assist me

as a senior you don't know what is bitcoin core? seems very odd to me, it's the main client for bitcoin, that many should use more seeing how the last version was immune to the last blockchain split

Miners generating invalid blocks. Wait for 30 confirmations? that will take a looooong time. Whats wrong and how worried should we be?

I think that was the blockchain split on the 4th of July, for more info refer to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1108304.0

The blockchain has split like 6 times during this month already, andreas said so in a recent video.

are those miners still using spv wallet? why they cannot run core instead, all the problem will be solved....
