For fcks sake. Whoever it was up thread who said that bitcoin payments were instant anyway was so full of shit.

I've been waiting 20 minutes for 1 confirmation of a BTC transaction. Its like watching paint dry.

I believe Evan found a way to speed up the confirmations. That would make sense. He can use the masternode network after all
with all those servers online. We'll just have to wait and see.

Well the time for confirmations changes from time to time, it just depends on luck.
There were times when 1 took 40minutes and plus.
Hopefully Evan shares his ideas soon with us, I'm curious to see what he plans on doing to speed it all up.

I wonder if it (really, not just artificially/virtually) involves the masternodes (which are - at least for now - practically unique for DRK) or easy to copy by any random BTC-like coin (without copying the whole masternode system).

There is no way - in my mind - it doesn't involve them.

Evan may be smart, very smart - but there are a lot of people nearly as smart or maybe even smarter than him that have spent a lot of time trying to solve this problem with bitcoin. Now I'm not saying that if there was a solution they surely would have found it - but it seems hard for me to believe that it wouldn't have been solved before today if a "universal" solution existed. And this then points to masternodes.

That being said evan has been willing to think further outside the box than many other people in the cryptocurrency world, so who knows.

But I am dieing to see his implementation.
