A couple of questions.

1. How long does it take coins to be confirmed and not pending? The wallet shows both actual and pending the same coins.

2. How is a Payment ID obtained and is it necessary to have one?

I have breifly read the white paper. I didn't see explained.

Thanks

One confirmation should just take one block, four minutes I think. It depends what exchange you're using how many confirms they require.

Payment ID is only necessary when sending coins to an exchange or merchant (are there any merchants accepting duck/darknotes?). If you're just sending coins to another person, no need for payment ID. It is just a random hex string that is 64 characters that exchanges (and merchants) assign to users, so they can tell who sent them coins/notes.
