      Monero is great for online purchases, but a 2 minute confirmation time is real annoying for IRL purchases. Lightning txs confirm in under a second for less fees too.

        Your right, depending on the vendor, relationship, and price they could relax it to mempool.

        I.e if they know you, then it doesn’t matter as long as they see the transaction got seated. It’s good to go any issues they can ask you in the future

        If the transaction is only for a couple dollars, the convenience outweighs the confirmation

      Can you explain real world uses for purchases using XMR? Or where online it’s accepted? It seems cash is still king.
