Re: Does a bitcoin transaction ever stop confirming?

But still, what is the highest number of confirmations you have ever seen? Or know of that somebody reported to have seen?

Bitcoin's first transaction?

I know Hal Finney's first transaction, which was included on block 170 and has 597017 confirmations.
