Title: Avoiding transaction delays Post by: WinVery.com on April 06, 2013, 08:29:06 AM What are the best ways to bring the time down between a send and a first confirmation?
Outside of the user's fee, from a merchant standpoint. What is the prevailing wisdom on always being in the next block? ??? Thanks Title: Re: Avoiding transaction delays Post by: Come-from-Beyond on April 06, 2013, 08:33:52 AM What are the best ways to bring the time down between a send and a first confirmation?

Online merchant, just don't send goods til payment is received, or use bitpay. In person merchant, it will be hard to double spend, if possible.. cameras and cops.

Does anyone know how this will look in the future? Will confirmation time increase or decrease?

Does anyone know how this will look in the future? Will confirmation time increase or decrease? It will be the same. Forever.

If you ship at 5PM, make sure you stop accepting bitcoins at 4PM so you have time to collect coin, and package.
