So, it takes 100 blocks for coins to be considered valid according to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Confirmation (I always thought it was 120, apparently that is just a visual thing).
My satoshi payment was in block 237375, so at block 237475 it is safe to assume everything will be cleared up. We are at block 237404 at the time of writing this post.... 71 blocks to go (or less). Assume 6 blocks an hour... In less then 12 hours we will have the divs?
Does this sound right?
I would bet that this is the reason. Perhaps in the future, friedcat should withhold unconfirmed coins until the next week. It would be a bit less confusing and inconvenient for shareholders.
