If two Blocks are simultaneously mined, the version used by the next mined Block will decide the accepted version as it will be part of the new longest chain.
-
A stale Block is a mathematically valid Block that was rejected by the network since an alternate Block was already accepted on the Blockchain.
-
Stale Blocks can occur when there is slow data propagation across the network and or simultaneously Block creation by competing miners.
-
It is important to wait for multiple confirmations to ensure your Transaction is part of the accepted Blockchain and not left in an Stale Block.

What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
Two versions of truth are released, when third miner chooses to add his block to either chain then the chain that is longer will win and shortest truth chain discarded. Discarded short chain transactions are returned back to mempool. -
What is a stale block?
Stale block is one version of the truth that is solved by miner but is not part of the longest chain and will be dropped. -
How do stale blocks occur?
Stale block occurs when miners create two versions of truth simultaneously (difference is that each truth version block has different transactions in it and due to that different hash) and only one version/chain will be chosen, on what next miners will add their blocks. The block that whose chain is not chosen (short chain) will be dropped and its called stale block. -
Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
To ensure that TX is successfully applied to chain and is not on stale block and moved back to mempool.
-
the miners with the longest chain gains the new block addition on the network. All the others are returned to the mempool.
-
a block with the shortest chain during a fork that will be removed from the mempool.
-
stale blocks occur after a fork is resolved by a longer chain.
-
its highly important to wait 6 confirmations to ensure the block you mining is long enough and not dropped from the chain.
- What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
the block with the longest chain will make it. the other one goes into mempool - What is a stale block?
its a removed block from the chain - How do stale blocks occur?
if 2 miners mine a block at the same time, the blovk with the shortest chain will be removed and called a stale block - Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
in case my transaction ended up in the mempool
-
When two miners solve a block at the same time, two blocks may become upended to the blockchain, which leads to two separate truths occurring within the network.
-
A stale block is a block that has been âleft behindâ so to speak, or ignored. Out of two blocks that may have been upended at the same time, eventually only one will be acknowledged by the network and the other will be ignored. The ignored block is the stale block.
-
Stale blocks occur after two blocks have been upended to the network at the same time, and then one of those blocks is chosen to be the truth for the network. The first block to have another block produced from itself is the block that is chosen because it becomes part of the longest chain and therefore has the most PoW. The block that is not chosen and is ignored becomes the stale block.
-
It is important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction because until at least six confirmed transactions take place in the blockchain, one cannot be sure that the block their transaction is recorded on will not be dropped, or become stale.
-
When two miners solve a block at the same time, the blockchain temporarily splits into two chains. When a miner appends a block to one of those chains, it will be accepted and the other will be discarded. Transactions from the dropped block will be put back into the mempool.
-
A stale block is a part of the blockchain that was mined but eventually rejected from the blockchain because another part of the fork had grown longer and was accepted.
-
Stale blocks occur when two miners mine the same block at the same time and one block is rejected while the other is accepted by having another block appended on to it.
-
It is important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed to ensure that that block does not become the rejected stale version of the blockchain.
- What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
When two separate miners solve a block at the same time, two separate chains are initially created but only one will be the truth and carry on the chain â maybe the miner whose block was slightly faster to be produced.
- What is a stale block?
A stale block is a block that wasnât chosen to carry on the âtrueâ chain, resulting in a whole block worth of unconfirmed transactions.
- How do stale blocks occur?
Stale blocks occur when two miners produce a block at the same time; maybe through one having a certain set of transactions on one part of the network, and the other miner having a slightly different set on another part of the network.
- Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
Itâs important to wait for 6 subsequent extra blocks â not just one - after sending or receiving a transaction before confirming the validity of that transaction. Stale blocks which get rejected by the longest chain are sent back to the mempool for a second time to be confirmated and added to the longest chain.
1. What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
The respective nodes closest to those miners add the blocks to the blockchain however the network chooses the chain which has the most proof of work/most blocks.
2. What is a stale block?
A stale block is one which was rejected off the blockchain.
3. How do stale blocks occur?
When a subsequent block is added to one of the two splits then the network will choose this longer chain.
4. Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
This provides the assurance that the block in which your transaction was part has been added to the blockchain.

What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
The both blocks are agregated to the network and the blockchain is spliting.
What is a stale block?
A stale block is the one left behind when two block are created at the same time.
How do stale blocks occur?
After two blocks are mined at the same time the next block mined will choose just one of the blocks to be linked at. The one left behing is the stale block.
Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
Is important to wait because if one transaction is in one of the stale blocks it will be rejected. So we have to wait untill more blocks are mined for the tx to be confirmed.
-
If this happens that the longest blockchain will be accepted and the other will be dropped.
-
and 3. A stale block is when a block is part of a shorter blockchain and then dropped.
-
Because it is a possobility that the the block might sometime become stale.
- When 2 miners solve a block at the same time, they both get added in a non-linear fashion ie they get forked.
- When there are 2 versions for a blockchain, the version with highest number of proof of work will be chosen and the other block will be eliminated. This eliminated block is called stale block.
- When the blockchain decides to keep the version which has highest number of proof of work, the other forked block gets eliminated (even though it is valid) and is returned to the mempool.
- In order not to be eliminated from the blockchain, more confirmation is needed.
1. What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
When two miners solve a block at the same time, both blocks will be spread through the network to their closest nodes first and then somebody will mine the next block that will stick with one of the two versions of the chain. The longest and quickest chain actually wins and the lost side of the chain becomes a stale block and the transactions go to the mempool.
2. What is a stale block?
Stale Block is the block that lost the wright to be the correct blockchain.
3. How do stale blocks occur?
Stable blocks occur from a type of soft fork when two miners solve the next block at the same time and one of them loses eentually after 6 confirmations itâs wright to be the correct chain which everybody will follow
4. Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
Many say 3 transaction actually are enough for a transaction to pass through and be valid but the correct is 6 transactions so to be sure that your transaction wasnât in the wrong soft fork chain and isnât taken back to the mempool and must wait to be picked later from another block.
- What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
The blocks will be append to the blockchain and propagated through the nodes. the longest chain wins so the next block will be append to one of the 2 chain and that chain wins. The other chains block is a stale block and the transaction will be put back to the mempool. - What is a stale block?
See answer 1) The transactions of a stale block will be put back to the mempool.
How do stale blocks occur?
the longest chain wins
- Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
It is important to wait for 6 confirmations to be sure that the block your transactions are in is not dropped from the chain.

1. What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
- Both are validated and the two different version are split and broadcast to the network.
2. What is a stale block?
- One fo two validated blocks that drops away and therefore is âstaleâ.
3. How do stale blocks occur?
- A stale block occurs when one of the two completing blocks are mined first. The blockchain then continues on with the fastest chain and the other block is dropped or stale.
. Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
The purpose of the 10 minute time frame is to minimize the chance for stale blocks to occur and allow enough time for txâs to propagate to the entire network.
1. What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
This will create 2 version of the truth (blocks), the next block mined with the most highest difficulty value (the most close to target diff) will determinate which last block (the 2 versions of the truth) will be appended to the blockchain, the other one will remain has an âstale blockâ or orphan on the mempool. Stale block miners will not receive any reward.
2. What is a stale block?
Its a perfectly valid block that has been dropped from the blockchain and is currently not in it.
3. How do stale blocks occur?
When 2 miners that are very far from each other geographically, find the same block almost at the same time and both start to propagate their result around their closest nodes.
4. Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
- The possibility to create an stale block is decreased.
- Secure the block with the transaction since it have many block after his creation.
- To ensure the blockchain to propagate further around all nodes in the world.
- What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
They have a dance-off until the next block is mined to determine which block
wins. - What is a stale block?
A stale block is the block that lost the dance-off and didnât get propagated to the
blockchain. - How do stale blocks occur?
When two miners guess the nonce at the same time and they both have valid
blocks, one of the them will be used in the following block and one of them wonât,
and the one that isnât used becomes a stale block. - Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
You should wait for six confirmations to be sure your transaction was not a
victim of a stale block, a poor orphan left behind. Your transaction could in reality
still be in the mempool.

- two blocks are created at same height
- a stale block is a block that miners solved at same time but the network abandoned it for a longer blockchain and was returned to the mempool
3.by two different blocks being mined at the same block height. - in case your transaction ends up in a stale block
The shortest blockchain workwise is dropped and the blocks in that chain become stale blocks. Tx go back to mempool. Waiting is to makes sure your transaction isnât in a stale block
- What happens in the bitcoin network when two miners solve a block at the same time?
There are two blockchain in the network. - What is a stale block?
Stale block is a block that have been dropped from the blockchain, because there is a bigger blockchain. - How do stale blocks occur?
It occur because the are two different blockchain on the network. - Why is it important to wait for more than one block to be confirmed when sending or receiving a transaction?
Because of the stale blocks. Itâs recommended that you wait 6 confirmations.
-
Those miners will begin to propogate their respective blocks to their closest nodes resulting in a fork to the blockchain. however the next miner to complete the puzzle will elongate the chain and the result will be that the other block will become a stale block and its transactions will be returned to the mempool.
-
a stale block is a block that had the correct nonce and met the target but was returned to the mempool due to the fact that a longer chain was achieved and propagated to the network.
-
it is important to have multiple confirmations in order to be confident your transaction was not part of a stale block and be returned the mempool.
