You’re actually waiting longer with litecoin. Just use the lightning network.

You get what you pay for https://howmanyconfs.com/

https://howmanyconfs.com/ it's not even close

btc final settlement assurance is orders of magnitude quicker than traditional fiat system (fed wire) and any other PoW crypto (see here)

it's the fastest there is for same level of trust-minimized security https://howmanyconfs.com/

it has fastest transactions since that's measured per unit security. you're making zero sense. are you talking about block times? what do those have to do with speed of transactions? https://howmanyconfs.com/

In theory you can do this now by exploiting front-running bots, see https://github.com/flashbots/pm/issues/24

Front run + back run is sandwich. Front running has also been called miner extractable value. This is now called maximal extractable value.

You may want to look a little further, or not.

2: sponsored transactions. use flashbots to send transactions directly to miners using a third party address as payment.

I know someone who runs a MEV-Bot, i.e. scanning the mempool for opportunities and bribing miners to include his arbitrage-tx into the chain via FlashBots.

> “Less trust, more truth.”

What a neat platitude that means absolutely nothing. As a society, over, oh I don't know, like 5000 years, we figured out the the best way to enforce truth is via some sort of centralized institution: the court of law.

> They could, right. They sort of do—there’s the star thing that you can only do once per day. But guess what? They're a profit-motivated company. So if you pay Tinder enough, you can just send as many stars as you want.

Wait, crypto miners aren't profit-motivated? Maybe we should introduce Mr. Wood to flashbots[1] -- a "sub-network" of Ethereum miners (a fork of geth) who's entire purpose for existing is front-running. Truth as long as you can pay for it -- got it. Web3 is end-stage capitalism and we've been down this road in the early 1900s. Yawn.
