Re: Cannot wait for the Lightning Network to go mainstream!!!
What happened to you is a very strange thing. Can you include addresses here? It has been several months since it took more than 10 minutes to confirm my transactions. In fact, I get confirmations within two minutes and up to medium fees.
Encouraging newbies to use SegWit addresses, requiring wallets "Blockchain.info" to accept it will reduce fees until activating the lightning network.
You do not have to push them, so let things move slowly and with high precision. In the end, you do not want to lose your coins within the network.

The Lightning Network would have solved this problem, but we are not even close to mainstream adoption and the merchant says that they not going to switch to the Lightning Network until there is a large demand for it.
