Thanks for that. I am so behind the times on news because of trading and local meeitngs, as I said, I am a face to face trader and I do a lot with metals.
I have not even taken the time to find out why bitcoin is faster - I just went to https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions (I will put that in the main post , it's a handy reference)
You should also check the recent steemitblog post by Ned - I am reading it between comments.
I will check it out now! I still need to get you some of the 2017 steem rounds. Maybe we can group it with the 2018 steem rounds! We are trying to get it as close to spot as possible!
