Title: BTC transfers seem super fast right now???
Post by: sinister-breaks on August 30, 2013, 10:25 am
Not that I am complaining, I think it's great, but since the little crash a few days ago thats caused a back log meaning BTC took over 12 hours to transfer, things have rapidly changed.

The last 4 transfers I have made, the BTC are in my SR wallet within 10 minutes!! Compared to the 1-3 hours pre crash.

Anyone else finding this, or just a fluke for me???

For me they were flying fast before the recent delay and seems it's back to same speed.

Ya. Definitely faster. I transferred OUT of silk road and had them in my wallet within 40 minutes.

Definitely lightning fast right now. I didn't even know it was possible for bitcoin transfers to confirm so quick. Must've been under 10 minutes total.

I'm pretty dumb but maybe it is because of all the ASIC chips on the network right now.

My latest deposit went thru quicker than I have ever seen. Dont know exactly how long but they were in my account way before I expected.

^^ That is what I was thinking. There is a thread on the bitcointalk forums about blocks being mined every 90 seconds versus the normal 10 minutes per block.

My transfer into the Road today was crazy fast as well. Very pleasant surprise to be sure. From hours last time to minutes this time.
