Good morning Beehaw it is currently 5:30 am in the morning here in Australia Nov 9 2024.
It may not be morning where you are but it is always morning somewhere on Earth. Plus this chat is more of a vibe. Have you been doing any hobbies lately or discovered a new tv show? Maybe you worked on something and want to share it or you recently found something you are passionate about?

    How fast are transfers in monero? That’s a thing I don’t like about BTC, the fee if you want fast transactions.

      Monero does not have replaced by feet like Bitcoin does, so you can accept a zero confirmation transaction, which takes seconds up to whatever level you are comfortable with. For example, you might buy a coffee with a zero confirmation transaction in seconds, but buying a car would take 10 blocks or about 20 minutes. Fees are also stupid low. So no issue there.

        Don’t quite understand that, sorry

        but buying a car would take 10 blocks or about 20 minutes

        So about the same confirmation speed as BTC?

          Replace by fee is a mechanism where as long as a transaction has not been confirmed yet you can replace it with a new transaction as long as it pays a higher fee but that could cause double spending which is a problem.

          Also, in Bitcoin, they say, in order to make sure a transaction has really gone through, you should wait 7 blocks. And therefore, that would be 70 minutes instead of 20 minutes.

              Glad I could help. If you ever decide to start playing with it, send me your wallet address and I will send you a little bit to get started with.

                  Monero.com which can be downloaded on the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store. It is actually an app and not a web wallet which is what I originally thought when I first heard about it.
