That much I understand. MB serms to have defaults scaled by transaction size. So far I've seen 4 to 7 for $10 and $1000, respectively.

<p>Is there any way for users to specify the number of confirmations for a transaction?
If not, how many confirmations does Multibit require to complete a transaction?
And does the required default number of confirmations vary by size of the transaction?</p>

Can one set how many confirmations MultiBit requires for a transaction to be accepted?
