     "Whenever there are competing claims for the next block added to the chain, the one mined later usually gets orphaned. Or to be more precise, the block resulting in longer chains wins and the smaller chain gets orphaned. The transactions in the oprhaned block are not however lost, but returned the mempool. A rule of thumb is to wait for six confirmed blocks to be sure that the transaction within a mined block has been accepted and solidified into the chain."
