Hi,

hey I'm the proud owner of probably one of the last milli-BTC distributed by the Bitcoin Faucet.

I noticed however that the number of confirmations just keeps increasing (currently more than 600) which, if I understood correctly from explanations elsewhere, is way over the top to make sure that these are really my 0.001 BTC : I think I read a number like 10 or so would do ample.

My question is will this go on for ever (as in this generates a background network traffic linked to each bitcoin (or fraction there-of) ever traded) or will it stop after some time ...

(and this was post number 5 !!)
