¿Qué es Confirmation?
A block containing your transaction. Each subsequent block adds another, making reversal exponentially more expensive.
One confirmation means included in the most recent block. Six is a common convention for large amounts, but it is a convention rather than a protocol rule.
The right number depends on what is at stake. Reversing a transaction requires out-mining the network from before it, so the appropriate depth scales with the value and the plausibility of an attacker.
