Hi,

In order for bitcoin to ever truly be able by a coffee, sandwich, magazine, groceries,...
transaction speeds of bitcoin payments at the counter must be instant.

This needs to happen or bitcoin will never be wildly used and accepted.

Transactions are instant, settlement is ~10min

go educate yourself before educating others..

sorry my post wasn't finished, accidentally posted to soon

for bitcoin to be working in the real world ( at the counter, where there are lines)
10 minutes is way to long

and likely apple will be coming up with a way to pay with you iPhone instantly before
there will be a solution for bitcoin... this is concerning

Even more concerning, apple would try its best for a bitcoin solution not to work on
any of their devices... ( gotta love apple's will to innovate and make the world a better place ;-)
