Are you running Viacoin core?

[superskillz]

I have been running Viacoin core for the last couple months and sending transactions is amazingly fast. If you haven't been running it, I highly recommend it for at least small transactions between friends.

Download core here: https://viacoin.org/#download

You can also download the bootstrap here to speed up the sync process: http://108.61.216.160/cryptochainer.chains/chains/Viacoin_blockchain.zip
