Ok.

(I could not resist)

Damn, I wanted to make this joke.

edit: I did.

You're talking about the case when the merchant accepts the transaction, before even seeing it confirmed even once?

That is what instant transactions are about.

The problem as I see it is that "loading" a card with NXT is not possible. It still needs to be confirmed on the network when it's spent and doesn't matter if it's a card, a cell phone or whatever. If the transaction speed is too slow it will never work for Point of Sale without merchants taking a leap of faith, off chain transaction verification (trusted 3rd party)

TF is the big selling point of NXT. It's why I became interested in it and purchased some because all the "literature" promised it.
Seems like a lot of indian giving might be happening. NXT seems to be in danger of becoming a slower version of RIPPLE if TF doesn't happen.

I was liking what I was reading about parallel block chains though. That gave me a little hope.

I know it is not possible. It would take some work to do. But right now Instant network transactions are not possible. I am just trying to gage the effectiveness, and expenditure of resources in relation to the benefits of the outcome of making network transactions instant and provide a possible alternative solution for comparison.

The same as CFB is offering "parallel block chains" as a solution for comparison. I don't know anything about code writing or programing but I do know something about traditional payment services, so this is why I present this possible solution.

Could you point me to that solution of yours?

Ah, right  


I think there are already some Bitcoin merchants that "softly" check transactions and acknowledge payment instantly, like BitPay. This should prove particularly useful in their cases. Interesting stuff.

parallel blockchains would make it possible

In other words, it's complete fiction right now with no evidence that anyone is even working on it to implement on Nxt and how it's going to be implemented. Not only there is no code, but how it will be implemented is unclear speculation.  Plus there is no evidence  it will work. We should stop making Youtube videos about Nxt having zerocoin "feature" as if it's implemented working feature. .

salsacz delete your youtube video immediatly.

I was talking about the use of prepaid credit cards for use in point of purchase transactions as a way of possibly bypassing having to figure out how to make instant transactions possible through the network.
