Transactions are being included into blocks in 1 minute in average. Longer you wait - higher a chance that a double-spending won't happen. There is no such a number that guarantees 100% irreversibility.

1 confirmation is not secure at all. 10 confirmations is recommended for small amounts, 720 confirmations - for big ones.

1 minute is AVERAGE time, real time varies from seconds to an hour. Also it can be a local node issue related to incorrect time/timezone, bad connection or a client software bug.Come-from-Beyond 2014-07-08T18:18:06.093
