yes thanks i'm talking about confirmation time?

and i' m curious if there is an alt coin that is a good compromise between time and level of security?

When you send Bitcoin, it will confirm within 10-15 minutes if it has recommended fees. Isn't that fast and enough?
For online shopping it may be sufficient, but imagine when you would like to buy chocolate bar in a shop you wouldn't want to wait 10-15 minutes for confirmation. And there is always risk of double spending.
Confirmation times of bitcoin cannot be lowered because it will risk network security.
