Are you kidding? A transfer takes less than a second...
I'm gonna need about 10 minutes to confirm your post.
...And give me 0.0001 BTC, too.
He said transfers not confirmations. There's a huge difference....
If you can name a place that gives you goods and services before your payment is confirmed, please let me know so I can begin scamming them for being dumb.
I personally do many exchanges without waiting for confirmations. It all depends on the trust relationship between the sender and the receiver. If I know where you live, and/or where you work, and/or who many of your friends or family are, I'll happily sell you stuff in exchange for 0 confirmation bitcoin transactions. If you scam me, I WILL come collect what is mine.
