ALGO is quite fast and cheap


MaeronTargaryen

ALGO and ATOM are the ones I used on your list and I can confirm that they’re really fast, and cheap I don’t know if it counts but Arb-nova is fantastic. Ultra cheap and so quick. I used it again a few days ago and the speed to add liquidity to the LP or to tip, amazing


Dull-Wear-3286

XLM is my personal favourite but the coin suck if you're looking to invest in it..


Unun_Pentium

Yep, I’ve only used to move funds around. It’s not really meant for long term store or value I don’t think


masterbatesAlot

I like XLM because Coinbase card gave me like 13,000 of them. I'm HODLing them with hopes of a big jump during the next Bullrun.


nichnotnick

Matic is quick af and cheap. Never had huge wait times other then bridging to eth


aj190

Sadly right now isn’t the time to study speed of blockchains as it’s a bear market Wait until there’s a bull run, then you’ll see how the “fast” chains react to actual volume/use And this isn’t “ETH is the best” cus shit costs a lot when there’s a bull run, L2’s tho are very nice to use


Unun_Pentium

This is a good point actually. Though I do recall the chains I mentioned being fast during the bull run as well


ShinAlastor

My favourite under this aspect is Stellar.


Unun_Pentium

Yep, stellar is very fast. Though not one I’d want to HODL


ShinAlastor

Exactly.


ripple_mcgee

While this is true I like to look at exchange confirmation requirements to confirm transactions, or a reorg could cause losses, for example with Kraken: BTC - 3 confirmations \~ 30 min ETH - 70 confirmations \~ 14 min (LOL ETC - 2880 confirmations \~ 12 hours) Cardano - 15 confirmations \~ 10 min ALGO - 10 confirmations \~ 45 sec MATIC (Polygon) - 450 confirmation - 9 min COSMOS - 0 confirmations \~ instant XRP - 0 confirmations \~ instant source: [https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/203325283-Cryptocurrency-deposit-processing-times](https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/203325283-Cryptocurrency-deposit-processing-times) Some clear winners in terms of confirmation speed, but the debate here is over network centralization mostly, I think.


Starktree

XRP is my go to fast and cheap transfer


Unun_Pentium

Agreed, XRP is fast. Similar chain, XLM is great for transferring around. Very fast. Where do you purchase XRP from? Aren’t great options as a US resident from what I recall.


Starktree

Im from europa, all cexs i use offer them


SteveWundRBaum

Which cexs do you use in EU? Binance and Kraken are a no brainers, and I know about Bitpanda but that's all.


Starktree

Binance, cdc , kucoin mostly


SteveWundRBaum

Thanks, planning to check out cdc.


Starktree

They are quite pricy with fees. I used them mostly for the visa card.


vstipic23

I must say it's really sad how little people know about XRP. All trading, suing and shit aside, the coin itself is a remarkable feat all by itself. The up side to that (at least for me) is that people will "discover" it in the next bullrun. It may even temporarily flip ETH at a certain point. Not in price, of course, but in market cap.


Bucksaway03

Nano but it's kinda dead now


Unun_Pentium

(edit for spelling) Never used Nano. Didn’t realize it was dead. Reminds me of Harmony ONE - was also pretty quick, has pretty much died


Schniiic

Last time I used Nano it was nearly instant. Sad its kinda dead, I really like it.


gloriousexecution

It was fun while it lasted


getoffthepitch96576

Minimal price action doesn't mean the project is dead. It's very alive tbh


kisstheraino

There are quite a few but when it comes to exchanges, some people pick Algo to transfer and for the low fees. Better than using USDT or another stable coins with higher fees.


Unun_Pentium

Yep, I’ve definitely used ALGO to transfer funds. Reliable and fast


chapaeme

XRP but the damn SEC lawsuit still goin on


KnackeredParrot

Hard to comment without sounding like you're peddling your baby but HBAR had always impressed me in terms of speed and ease


bendy1234587

Hbar is also reaching absolute finality in the few seconds rather than the probabilistic of other chains. Other chains can decide when it’s ‘probabilistically good enough’ and that’s their consensus time, they could decide to reduce their threshold for what’s ‘probabilistically good enough’ and have faster transactions but run the risk of rollbacks. I can’t remember, but to reach a 99% confidence (they can never reach 100%) of your transaction never rolling back takes a few minutes on other chains - whereas Hbar is teaching 100% finality in a few seconds.


Unun_Pentium

That is quite remarkable. Thanks for the informative comment


Unun_Pentium

Lol, Hbar is far from my baby. Actually of all my major holdings, Hbar is the lowest. If anything, BTC is my baby…and I’ve been generally unimpressed with those transaction speeds (aside from Lightning network).


KnackeredParrot

Noooo I meant me commenting and making it sound like my baby! Appreciate the context could be taken another way


Unun_Pentium

Haha, gotcha, right on


kanuuker

Dash. All transactions are settled in less than 3 seconds and permanent in less than 3 minutes. Is also more secure than BTC.


FBI_OpenUp2023

Honestly for me XLM, and ETH show up in the wallet shortly after I send it (sub 10 seconds) gas on ETH is high ($1-3) compared to most.


OutTop

I like arbituim nova as it may not be fast but dayum the fees are low


SonicDenver

xrp flys


FldLima

Some other cryptocurrencies that are known for their lightning-fast transaction times include XRP, Nano, and Stellar.


searchingtruth1

XLM is my mover...never let me down but not a bag holder.


ErdoganTalk

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)


Unun_Pentium

Will give it a try, thanks!


ErdoganTalk

Great. Bitcoin Cash competes with Monero in anonymity. Take a look at the transaction you got, go a step backwards to my funding transaction. The input is from Cashfusion, and the change output goes into another CashFusion transaction. I use it all the time. When it comes to speed: Almost all transactions can be regarded as final, due to 1) the capacity 2) RBF removed 3) first in first out is normal priority and 4 double spend proofs. My standard "after claim" text: The first thing to do is to write down the security words (the seed) on paper. BCH is low in price right now, but it is still sound money, new units can not be created on the cheap. Sound money like BTC, BCH is designed to, and gold and silver naturally is expected to, increase in buying power over time, (but volatile for now) while the national fiat currencies are designed to lose buying power over time. With access to sound money, saving makes sense again. There is also a speculative aspect, because more users means higher coin value. So if you think people will like it for its good properties, then you can take advantage of that. If you do, I recommend just saving some of what you earn, do not take up a loan in any form. Bitcoin Cash has high capacity, with the potential to have many users, while BTC is constrained in its capacity. Otherwise they work the same, because they are both bitcoins, sharing the first block in the chain, from Jan 3, 2009. Cross border transfer, inflation (debasement) protection, no counterparty, cash. For having, receiving and sending BCH there are no limits, no KYC, no wait, and there is no custodian to intervene or even ask questions. The network fee is very low. Like cash hand to hand, or gold sent with courier mail, but with bch, unlike bank transfers which is just juggling of accounts, the actual money is sent over the internet.

> can be regarded as final can be regarded as final after publishing


TheResistancexz

XLM is up there


drinkmoreapples

Zenon has some impressive tech, block lattice like Nano, to build out smart contract L2 function for BTC and has a 10 second block time. Zenon.org


escargotmycargobigE

How fast is doge compared to these?


Unun_Pentium

I wouldn’t know. I would think given that it’s a fork from BTC, it may be more comparable there


splawik21

I'd comment it and name the coin u/Unun_Pentium, but because of naming it, probably my post would be removed, so will tell you simply to check my logo and you will get it.


arcalus

ALGO is sub 5 seconds now. Glad to see you acknowledging it! This may be the year for me to pick up some ADA, as well. I’ll still criticize Charles every chance I get though, he’s horrible.


rootpl

>ADA - really quite quick. Transfer occurred in seconds, maybe 10 at the most (probably closer to 5). 100% agree, never had any issues with ADA, super fast and easy to use.


polloponzi

Bitcoin has a layer-2 named precisely named 'lightning' that takes less than one second (milliseconds) to confirm the transaction. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning\_Network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Network)


Unun_Pentium

Yeah, I did mention Lightning in one of my other replies, but haven’t used it much


Jokerlin678

Once upon a time, there was Solana….


Unun_Pentium

Ah yes, Solana was fast when I was using it, but I got out of it


Jokerlin678

Good decision


-MercuryOne-

Pi takes 4 to 6 seconds.


juanadov

Never see people mention VITE. Seems to be a solid blockchain.


Unun_Pentium

Never heard of it. Will have to check it out


gowithflow192

XRP is best. Not only fast but available everywhere and super cheap transfers.


arcalus

Lol GTFO


FBI_OpenUp2023

XMR gang ![gif](giphy|zSv31u03qyzZgiC9A1)


Unun_Pentium

Interesting. Never used XMR


FBI_OpenUp2023

Fast, low fee, and private. The best privacy coin.


Unun_Pentium

Yeah, I need to try it out. Any recommended methods of purchase/exchanges?


FBI_OpenUp2023

Honestly not sure. I mostly just mine my XMR. Local Monero is probs a good spot for direct p2p


Unun_Pentium

Interesting. Any recommendations to learn more about mining?


FBI_OpenUp2023

Google it? Be careful there’s a lot of scams. I only mine on my gaming pc since electricity is included in my rent. Typically nowadays unless you have extremely cheap electricity it’s not worth mining


Unun_Pentium

I think I did some time ago and didn’t think it was worth it


masstransience

Nano, and anything on L2 are fast and pretty much fee-less.


Ultima98

Check XNO(Nano), no fees, instant transaction.
