Comments on POCKET transactions
Transactions with POCKET are straight forward: a pocketsend command must be placed at the start of a comment (can be a top-level story, or a reply on any level), and in short time (typically under one minute) a bot (so far only @pocket-a is active) will process and confirm the transaction.
People were wondering if transactions are always safe, and the answer is that they are as safe as your steemit posting key.
Yet, as the protocol implementation is in an early stage, some issues might appear.
One problem was already confirmed with transactions that are too deep in the reply chain. They are process by @pocket-a, but the bot is not replying with the confirmation message. The reason is that the path gets too long (maybe you noticed the re-re-re names of your comments in the steem chains), and @biophil confirmed that a next version of the bot will have it fixed.
Today, I observed a second situation when a transaction was not confirmed, and this looks very different from the first issue (my transction on the second reply level was already confirmed):
I'm currently looking for details on this transaction, and I will update you once I have more.
Steemit on!
Well, in any case, a transaction explorer website will make it much easier to understand what is happening with these sorts of things.
Oh, thanks for finding the root cause on the failed transaction! Agree, a transaction explorer would realy make life easier once more people will come on board.
Thanks for the info on Pocket! I am curious what happened to that transaction too.
Most likely, that transaction wasn't valid as first posted, so the poster edited the post to make it valid. Sometimes that works, sometimes not. In this case, I'm guessing his edit did not result in a valid transaction.
pocketsend:1@bbrewer
Here, I posted a send to myself, then I edited it to have a send to @bbrewer. Both were valid because the memo was short enough, so both got independent confirmations.

pocketsend:10000@biophil,
on the other hand, if the memo is very long, editing the comment does not result in a new transaction. The first time I posted this, it was a send of 1, so that's the confirmation you see. But then I edited it to be a send of 10000 - but that didn't result in a new transaction, so no new confirmation.
