I didn't realise that HIVE needs 15 blocks to get 100% to accept a transaction. Always thought this was 3 seconds. I can only say about this change: This is what is needed for sure. Maybe not that important for most of the dApps we have in our eco-system, but waiting 45 seconds before a payment transaction is finalised with 100% certainty (ie no risk to the parties involved in the payment transaction) is too long for use cases such as in-store payments and webshop payments. Therefore I do hope the tests will be flawless and we will see this implemented asap. This will make HIVE an even better general-purpose blockchain which is the direction we shall go towards in my honest opinion. Someone else mentioned the 1-second block time. I also read your response. Though maybe not straightforward and 'easy' to implement, for use cases like webshop payments, 1 second is by far preferred over 3 seconds. Maybe also for in-store payments, though the user experience in a store may be ok with a little larger than a 1-second delay on payment confirmation. Anyways, when we have the 1 second to deal with webshops payment, we also have it for in-store payments :)
