Why is it that onsite user to user direct transfers seem to be instantaneous, yet in the Bitcoin world at large, address to address transfers can take hours? Just wondering what goes on with this.
Thanks.

I don't know, but my theory is that the vendor is paying you with BTC that is already within SR to a wallet that is in SR. Get a transfer to a wallet external to SR, and I would *guess* it would take a few hours.
Totally theory here. Based on absolutely no factual data whatsoever.
