Since ETN is a Monero fork, I understand that there is no upper limit on the block size and that scalability-problems do not actually occur.
This is very important for promoting "mass-adaptation".
I think, the sense of ETN with a focus on Monero's unlimited blocksize is good.

However, because of Monero 's fork, the block size of ETN is (probably) 1 m 54 s.
Is not it too long to use in daily life?
For example, when people pay at a kiosk, can you tolerate taking about two minutes per a person?

I think, this is a matter to be seriously improved. If ETN REALLY aims for mass-adaptation.

I have to disagree with the monero fork. Monero's priority is high privacy, that means that every transaction is decrypted. That means, its almost impossible to create a fast light wallet, since you have to check every block since creation for relevant transactions. And No the centralized hosted online wallet is NOT a good solution.

the blocktime for etn is 60 seconds. But since its so low, blocks get orphaned a lot, so if you want to make sure you got a payment you would need to wait 10minutes. That is a problem almost every cryptocurrency has. For something small you can just wait for the transaction to be in the pool. There is the possiblity of a doublespend attack and that you wont get your money, but it would be a big effort for stealing at a kiosk, you might just steal the newspaper itself. And for bigger deals a waiting time of 10 min shouldnt be an issue.
