 Grin Must clarify, I am looking to reduce seconds here.  Glad to know it is consistent long term.

True, the concern online is just in decreasing the time between sending and confirming a transaction.
Does anyone know how this will look in the future?  Will confirmation time increase or decrease? 



If you ship at 5PM, make sure you stop accepting bitcoins at 4PM so you have time to collect coin, and package.

What are the best ways to bring the time down between a send and a first confirmation?
Outside of the user's fee, from a merchant standpoint.

What is the prevailing wisdom on always being in the next block?

 Huh

Thanks


Online merchant, or in person merchant?

Online merchant, just don't send goods til payment is received, or use bitpay.
In person merchant, it will be hard to double spend, if possible.. cameras and cops.

Connection to as many nodes as possible should help a little.
