Hello what are some non mainstream altcoins with a fast block time? Preferably under 30 seconds and cheap. Please list here.

The fastest altcoin i know of are apollo currency and metacoin ,metacoin is more faster than apollo and it only takes 2second to deliver,it was a wow experience for me.

thanks so much, will check them out

thanks but still too mainstream for me even tho i heard stellar was fast.

For a good, fast altcoin you don't really need to look past XRP. Speed is a big part of the purpose of this coin, and it has been in development for many years already. I think it looks very underpriced at present. I know some people don't like it because it doesn't really feel true to the crypto ethos, but still, it's a good fast coin.

Litecoin and NEM are the fastest from what I’ve used so far.

I don't know how fast it really is on average, it may be very close to your target 30s, however, it is fast and not really mainstream imho: WAVES. You can check the latest times for yourself: https://wavesexplorer.com/

Some like it and talk nicely of it, some say it's useless, I don't know what to say on that. I like the fact it's super easy to make tokens there.

DAG coin like IOTA or NANO is the fastest altcoin at this moment consider that used the different mechanism than blockchain and each transaction almost instant and you will have to pay almost zero fees to deliver your transaction to the other address and this is the cheapest at this moment.

Litecoin could do the job as both fast and available almost everywhere. For more obscure fast altcoins then I would recommend Semux coin which also can handle many transactions as well not just being fast.

Dogecoin and litecoin is the fastest ive used so far but im sure there are many faster coins or tokens in crypto world that are better than dogecoin and litecoin

Some that just pop to mind:

• Digibyte (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=408268) [DGB] has 15s blocks
• Franko (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202417) [FRK] has 30s blocks
• Rabbitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=466621) [RBBT] has 30s blocks
• Casinocoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3262543) [CSC] claims 3-5s confirm time

HTH

edited to add CSC

try to learn about Apollo Currency(APL) (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/apollo-currency) and Metahash(MHC) (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/metahash/)
i think both alts is fast and good enough my friend, but do not invest before DYOR  ;)

Look at TERA PLATFORM (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4573801.0). This is a new project, but very interesting in terms of technical uniqueness:
Decentralization is implemented by PoW consensus at the expense of almost unlimited number of block-producers (hundreds of millions), and speed from 1000 tps and confirmation of 5-8 seconds due to connection of nodes with each other in the form of a multidimensional regular grid and fast delivery protocol of blocks. The new merged sharding protocol allows us to add new chains without losing network security, increasing the total network speed to 1 million transactions per second.

What about QuarkChain? Confirmation (block) time is 10 seconds on shards and 60 seconds on a root chain.
Have you heard about QuarkChain? Probably not, but if everything goes smoothly, it will represnt the future of Ethereum (same technology).

Pretty sure many low priced cryptocurrencies are very cheap and fast to mine you just need to test it yourself if you had an Antminer to prove this, Because of I really stop in the mining process out of financial bankruptcy or electric bill, internet bill, and the noise and heat that the miners are producing.

But pretty sure you can just pick up cheap Altcoins in the Coinmarketcap list, but I never encouraged you to just a random pick it, I think you should research for yourself on what is the best Altcoin for you that you will surely benefit on it.

You should consider and try Credits Blockchain as always boosted 1 million Tps was already attained thats quite impressive i think. But let them prove it first, since the full scale adoption on the credits platform has not been realized. by the mean time let credits do their job to convince the developers to used Credits Blockchain for their specific purposes.

my opinion binance or BTC lite. because these two altc's that I often see have a service process that is so fast and at a pretty cheap price. even though the price is cheap, don't underestimate these two altc because their safety and clarity can be accounted for. often these two altc are used when BTC is down.

anybody have any info on Fedora Gold?

NULS for sure especially with their recent upgrade

Both are surely good coins and get are having cheap price so we can invest but it is out duty to stay active and don’t mislead any thing. The coin that you mentioned is not well known and they are not so famous so better choose well trusted coin and save yourself from any kind of danger. Now a day is best time to invest only in BTC and ETH.

ETH's blocking time is less than 30 seconds, even neo which created as a eth killer is better than eth in this matter.
Even though the information shared a long time ago, I think it might be useful : https://coinsutra.com/transaction-speeds/

Definitely, XLM and XRP. Litecoin confirmations are also faster than Bitcoin blockchain, just for a case, I reminded. Digibyte also can be a good alternative for fastest transfers.

Fedora gold is a scam coin because it is running by the anonymous developer and it has no good update. It much better for you to avoid such a scam coin like fedora gold. And then why are you talking about fedora gold? is there something that makes you interesting with it? i feel curious to know even more than it dude.
be careful fedora is a scammmmm!!!!!!!

I know for sure how fast litecoin and dogecoin are when sending coin from my wallet to others

It takes time to compare the blockchain speeds one by one.
Ripple can handle up to 1,500 transactions per second but some new projects claim that their blockchain is faster. The Ripple team informs us about 50,000 tps which takes approximately 4 seconds to confirm.
Bitcoin Cash -  61 tps for 60 minutes to confirm.
IOTA may handle 1500 tps and 2 minutes to confirm.

many altcoins are pretty fast - Stellar (XLM), Ripple (XRP), EOS, Cardano (ADA), Tron (TRX), WAVES, DASH...

I'm interested to know what you mean by non-mainstream?
Is it altcoins outside top 50 or top 100 per CMC?

You can also check out Syscoin. With their ZDAG tech, they claim to have transaction at the speed of business. https://twitter.com/syscoin/status/1146445786047307777

There are some coins that have very fast transaction speed like Nano, Stellar, LTC, XRP and much more.  But if you are asking about non mainstream coins, take a look at Ternio and Traxion. They are not so far with their development but they assure that their TPS is going to be around 100k per second.

Wow so much feedback, right Fedora Gold has a fast block time and fairly cheap I didn't know it was a complete scam, non mainstream meaning outside top 100 and not well known coins, also transactions per second how about The Freedom Coin any news on that? Will check out Traxion

One of the famous one is ripple, it is very fast, it is on the most exchanges and the tx cost is very low.

Any info on Turtle Coin? Seems fast and fairly cheap.

Thanks for the info but still too mainstream and pricey for me. Will check out Temtum

To my knowledge, the fastest bitcoin-based coin is Lightningcash-Gold, with a 6.6 seconds block time.

A transaction is confirmed in 39.6 seconds on average.

Exchanges please

sorry i cant provide exact information but personally i think dogecoin and stellar is so fast .you can also checkout syscoin,ada,tron :)

Although I can not completely list, I know that ETH, NEO, EOS and NANO are fast ones in this regard.
