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?

Monero does not have replaced by feet

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.

I see. Thank you for explaining clearly!

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

What wallet would you recommend?

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.
