You do know that to make a "fake" transaction go through even 1 confirmation requires the scammer to mine a block?
You have a good point. That raises a larger question: what are best practices for website hosts who want to sell items for bitcoins? If SoftballSuperstar is right about it only being about an hour, that's not a bad wait. Which raises another question: if I were to go this route, ideally, I'd like to automate it so I'm not having to manually send emails after six confirmations happened. Are there any tools / web services that will let you know when a transaction hits the six confirmation mark?
