Average block time is not the same as average transaction time. Unless you exclude all transactions that take longer than 10 minutes you say?

I never said that they were the same thing (re-read my post). Transactions take a few seconds at most, and blocks are solved (on average) every 10 minutes.

Exactly, and this is why we tell people that confirmations take 10 minutes on average per confirmation.

You really mean if you pay a high enough fee to be included into the next block, the average comfirmation time would be 10 minutes?

No. I mean if you properly use Bitcoin (which involves using the proper fees and software which is not outdated) you will get a confirmation every 10 minutes (on average).

("we", who else is giving this false info, other staff?)

Anyone that isn't spamming this thread (and others) with useless posts and knows a bit more about Bitcoin.

I agree. So why are staff telling users to do this?

So why are staff telling people to use a low fee and hope for the best?

Being a staff member does not imply having a high knowledge of the underlying technology that Bitcoin uses (Note: I'm not saying that dabs does not). I don't understand the point behind his post. This part of his post:

If you pay more than the minimum relay fee (currently 0.00005), and a little bit more than the estimated fee for confirmation in 25 blocks (estimatefee 25) then your transaction will get included in a block within an hour or two, almost guaranteed.

is false.
