Could this be the reason , It's like 15-20mn to get at least 1 confirmation if I'am correct ?
Anyway the point is that we need some time to get transactions verified , could this actually prevent us from going to mainstream ?  I mean if you want to buy something from McDonald are you supposed to wait 15mn while that's the time of your launch break ?

When you are buying parking tickets are you also supposed to wait few minuts ?  Huh It wouldn't make any sense .

Honestly , I'am not even sure what controls the speed of the transactions .

It's not a problem i think. Adoption would happen that way that discounter and other businesses would accept no confirmation transactions. They would give out the goods when they see the transaction. Only when the value of the goods reaches a certain level, then they would wait for a confirmation.

I think that can be done because even with zero confirmation the chance to scam is pretty thing.
