I don't understand how blocks can be accepted, immature coins show in wallet, then disappear a few seconds later? Does anybody feel like taking a bit of time to explain how this happens? Thank ya kindly.
There are a few possible reasons.
1) Lag. When the wallet accepts the coin, it will immediately list as immature if the network doesn't say its an orphan. The moment the network tells the wallet that the block is an orphan, the wallet will simply remove it. Maybe there was a slight communication delay between the nodes and your wallet?
2) Mini-fork. Two (or more) miners solve the chain at the same time, faster than it can propogate the network. Other miners will side either fork, whichever reaches them first. When the two mini-forks propagate throughout the entire network, the longer one wins everything, the other loses. Could be that your semi-confirmed block was on the shorted block
