Which cryptocurrency is the fastest?

[Abiky]

As Bitcoin becomes slower each day in transaction confirmation time, other alternatives could prove to become useful for everyday transactions. Cryptocurrencies like Litecoin, Dogecoin, and even Ethereum have faster transaction confirmation time allowing you to send and receive coins at a hassle-free way.

Thus, among the wide variety of altcoins, many have block times which are near instantaneous. Based on these facts, which cryptocurrencies do you consider the fastest?

I would appreciate if you would list it or them here.

Dash has InstantSend, which is about 2 seconds and gives you 4 confirmations on a transaction.
It also has that transaction locked to prevent double-spending.

Yes. It is one of my favorite cryptocurrencies because of this feature. I'm not sure if there would exist a much faster cryptocurrency, but so far it seems like Dash has the lead. It also has a block size limit of 2MB in contrast to Bitcoin, with its never ending block size debate.

I think so too. Especially for micropayments, as it makes it an ideal cryptocurrency to tip others. Due to its inexpensive nature, it is very easy to obtain, allowing anyone to get into it and learn more about cryptocurrencies.

Heat is the fastest coin I have.

Is Digibyte fast?

FastCoin is quickly becoming the biggest internet sensation since Bitcoin.  Merchants are quickly realizing the benefits of Crypto Currencies and FastCoin is one of the special Crypto coin’s which makes this technology practical to use in everyday commerce.  FastCoin is currently THE FASTEST Complete Transacting Crypto currency in the world, without sacrificing security!  Our engineers were able to develop a 12 sec per block transacting coin which is ideally suited for today’s time sensitive needs.  As the general public slowly realizes the benefits of Bitcoin, early adopters of Crypto currencies will quickly understand the value in the role that time plays, specifically when conducting everyday transactions.

12 seconds per block is the fastest? I thought there was something quicker.  I'm not sure why 12 seconds would offer a big advantage when it's barely faster than ethereum.

I don't think you can jump to conclusion that this one is the fastest, most of these tokens are used on exchanges and no real world use. If they start to have the real world use like Bitcoin, I will say they are the fastest.

Any credibility to this?

[ethereumhunter]

its hard to say one coin is the fastest but i think for the answer is only bitcoin that got this because we can see bitcoin price is really up and down to often. for the altcoin, since there is many altcoin list, then we need to see how good the altcoin movement in the market and how big the volume of the altcoin but still its hard to say and choose one coins.

[unanimous]

Digital currencies which are not demanded much, could be faster.

[gloana]

CLOAK is among the fastest with 1min blocktime almost instant sends and private feature (ENIGMA)!

[damashup]

STEEM has a 2 second block time.

Each blog post, comment and vote is also a transaction on the blockchain so it is already processing major tx volumes.

STEEM also has zero transaction fees too btw.

I don´t know if it is the fastest but creditbit is very fast cryptocurrency https://cointelegraph.com/news/10-times-faster-than-bitcoin-creditbit-starts-migration-to-ether-token

MINT is 30 second block time, transactions are fully confirmed and re-spendable again after 2 minutes.

[Abiky]

@everyone Thanks for sharing these altcoins with fast block speeds. They would become very useful if adopted by major merchants and businesses worldwide. I've read that BitShares is capable of handling up to 100,000 TPS which makes it very ideal to handle large transaction volume. Also, it has a block time of 1 second which makes it confirm almost instantly.

Great! I've heard a lot about MINT, and it has been one of the Proof of Stake currencies that has grabbed my attention. I used to have some MINT before, but I had to sell them out, as I needed the BTC. Still, I'll be willing to go back into it since it is a truly unique PoS coin, which doesn't require you to leave the wallet open 24/7 to receive stakes.

Why do you lock a transaction? Does the chain accept two of the same signatures? Stupid design.

Bitcoin's Lighting Network will be the fastest.
Maybe Ethereum's Raiden Network aswell.

I played with manually decreasing transaction fee in my BTC transaction and it took some of my nerves and 2-3 days to clear. Not the best experience. And the fee was pretty heavy, to my mind.

I am quite satisfied with Eth speed, 14-15 seconds for 1 block and using the standard ...42 Eth it clears pretty and fast enough for me. Don't really see the need for insta or 1-2 seconds transactions, in my case.

It is sort of exciting and scaring of the coming BTC fork stuff, but I guess it is better be done sooner than later. I am for the Core team
