Title: Eventual confirmation delay
Post by: Sjalq on June 06, 2011, 07:05:05 AM
Hi folks,

Just want to know; When the BTC economy grows to include a few million people eventually, how long will confirmations on transactions take?

Lets say I pay someone a few BTC and include no fee and there are a few hundred thousand other transactions going on, how long will it take?

Also can the network ever be overloaded?
