Hi, fork
I also wonder if there's a way to allow instant transactions without losing the properties of the Bitcoin network. At first it just seems impossible, because if it was possible, the network would probably do it already.
But on a second thought, the very fact that we don't want it to work globally, but only in a restricted network, is a property that we're losing (compared to the big Bitcoin network) and that may give way to the possibility of making instant transactions.
