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.
actually bitcoin is designed to not necessarily need confirmations to be safe. However, because of some disagreements between mining pools it is pretty easy to consistently 'doublespend' 0-confirmation transaction. This could become a problem for physical stores. As 10 minutes is a long time to confirm something in a store.
