如果是按 IP 地址发送,转账是即时的。如果按比特币地址发送、而对方当时不在线,可能要 30 分钟甚至更久才能看到。

另外,接收方必须先跟区块链同步完才能看到收到的交易。也就是说底部状态栏至少要显示 33000 个区块,像 "x connections 33200 blocks x transactions" 这样。

不过,那笔交易完成后,新交易好像没开始。也可能开始了。列表里只有一笔交易,但"状态"下面我已经到 131 个区块了。本来就该这样吗?它是会一直在同一笔交易上处理、每 120 个区块左右生成一次币?还是应该开始一笔新交易?

一笔交易的区块数,指的是这笔交易之后全网新生成的区块数。链上每多一个新区块,就意味着它的创造者有了新币。你的交易列表里有一笔 "generated" 交易,说明你生成了一个区块。"区块"这个概念第一眼看着有点晕,你不是第一个。

如果状态显示成 "x confirmations",会不会清楚点,比如:

2/unconfirmed
3/unconfirmed
4/unconfirmed
5/unconfirmed
6 confirmations
7 confirmations
8 confirmations

每个区块本质上都意味着又有一个节点确认了它认可截至目前的所有交易。

英文原文

The transfer is immediate if you send by IP address.  If you send by bitcoin address and the recipient isn't online at the time, it might take 30 minutes or more to see it.

Also, the recipient needs to be synced up with the block chain before it'll see the received transaction.  That means the status bar at the bottom needs to say at least 33000 blocks, like "x connections  33200 blocks  x transactions".

Or maybe it has. There's only one transaction in the list but I'm up to 131 Blocks under "Status". Is this the way it's supposed to happen? Does it keep processing on the same transaction and generating coins every 120 blocks or so? Or is it supposed to start a new transaction?

The number of blocks of a transaction is the amount of new blocks that have been generated by the whole network after the transaction. Each new block in the chain means new coins to its creator. One "generated" -transaction in your transaction list means that you have generated one block. You're not the first one to find the concept of a "block" a bit confusing on the first sight.

Would it be clearer if the status said "x confirmations", like:
2/unconfirmed
3/unconfirmed
4/unconfirmed
5/unconfirmed
6 confirmations
7 confirmations
8 confirmations

Each block essentially means another node has confirmed that it agrees with all transactions up to that point.
