average is he key word. sometimes a block is solved within a minute, other times it can take hours. The average is always about 10min, and probably 50% of blocks are found within 5-15min

kool! got it now Wink

Thank you

right now the block reward is 25BTC, and each block contains about 0.1-0.2BTC of transaction fees on average.
In 6 years from now the reward will be 6.25BTC, and its likely transaction fees will be about 0.6BTC/block
another 8 years later the block reward will be at 1.6125 BTC, and each block will likely have 1BTC of transaction fees

I expect the transaction fees>block reward before 2040

oh! wow! well! means the confirmation will be quite alot more slow though the mining will continue
Thanks

confirmation time wont change, there will always be a block every 10min (on average). Its likely that block size (in MB) will scale up with time and demand to allow even low-fee transactions to be included in the current/next block. The 1MB limit right now has no real reason why it cant scale up to 1GB or more in the next decade or two as long as storage and bandwidth capabilities continue to increase for the average bitcoin node computer.

ammmm.. kinda confused here
sometimes when i receive or send btc from blockchain.info , a single confirmation(double spend) takes as long as 30 minutes sometimes
that should not happen right ? since , the average time is 10 minutes

The term "all blocks will be found" is not correct. Block finding (i.e. mining) will continue forever.
Just in 2140 all block rewards will be distributed. Miners will continue mining (hopefully) just because
of the fees. I'm sure there's a good introductory exposition somewhere on this forum to be found..

what do you mean by "Fees" , what fees exactly ? :/

they mining will continue with fee, but the reward would be too low for the majority, maybe only one mega farm will remain

Though as we know , we get a confirmation and our blockchain move's because somewhere someone is mining a block, though lately cos of high load of hashes , it takes quite time much time(sometimes 30 minutes) for blockchain.info(i prefer using it) to get a Confirmation.
Recently i saw a video showing it is expected all blocks will be found till year 2140.
What will happen then ? I mean how will the chain move ?
i know it's gonna be lot time for that , but am just curious . Shocked
