Planning to convert BTC to altcoins for the first time.

If i were to send BTC to changelly, but I set my transaction fee very low (example : 0.00001 btc), so in order to get 1 confirmation I might have to wait 2 or 3 hours.

So my question is, do changelly process 0 confirmation? or will they wait for at least 1 confirmation before I can get my altcoins?

Working without confirmations would be completely newbish, a transaction with no confirmations can be easily double spent leading to loss of money.
I didn't find any direct info(*) about that, but I would clearly expect them to need at least one confirmation.

* on a second search I've found this "Usually, transactions take 5-30 minutes. It depends on blockchain confirmations. If you have some troubles with exchange process, let us know at [email protected]"

Read the FAQ, from what I understood, you need to wait at least one confirmation. The fees you're planning to use are not going to be sufficient and It could take up to a few days in order to get a confirmation as the bitcoin network is currently overloaded with transactions.
