It will take some time to reach parity with Bitcoin ;-) what you are seeing now is nothing compared with what you will be seeing when the masses figure out what instantX has brought. It is the revolution of crypto currency making it better than any payment method existing, including credit and debit cards
How is it revolutionary? Ripple and BitShares
have fast confirmation times for a long time. What else does InstantX provide?
How fast?
Recommended Confirmation Time: 1 block (10 secs) for BitShares, 1 block (10 secs) for Ripple.
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/BitShares/Why_BitSharesBitshares : Propagating blocks every 10 seconds won't allow the network to grow very large without tons of orphans. Darkcoin solves this by locking transactions into the next block while the block is being solved, this gives you the best of both worlds, really fast confirmation with a really stable network.
Ripple: The beauty of InstantX is it's 100% decentralized. Ripple is not.
Where else can you get 3-5 second confirmation in a completely decentralized way? All of the other solutions are flawed
Indeed, Evan, your Darkcoin creation is the most elegant of solutions over many angles. And Quarkcoin for example was 30 seconds and prided itself on being quick at the beginning and indeed was, but the blockchain size got large and the update to the wallet is now tedious and broadcasting is unreliable(orphans also?), latest figures suggest 38 seconds, so this would suggest 10 seconds would not stand up to heavy use and would go a similar way.
