Hello,

I was under the impression that this new currency was fast, my first payment took 3 days to confirm, was told it was something about the fees, i now have increased my fees and i've waited 2 hours, nothing..
can someone tell me why this payment wont just confirm already?

this bitcoin thing is absolutely horrible, the fee is constantly increasing and the delay seems insane, can't be used with trust when payments are days delayed everytime you don't want to spend 10% of the amount you send in fees.

You're just using it for the wrong purpose.  If you want to send $20,000 halfway around the world use bitcoin.  If you want to pay your buddy back the five dollars you borrowed last week use cash.

Or use a better crypto coin for both.
