>it can be pretty much instant, it depends on the fee you are willing to spend.

1. Not a problem with any other currency I've used. 2. I've never even been offered to have my transaction clear more quickly by paying a higher fee. 3. If I'm sitting at a store and they tell me I can either wait around for 5-10 minutes (and possibly more) for my transaction to clear or pay 50 cents for it to be instant, I'm just gonna pull out my credit card and use that. I don't suspect I'm in the minority.

Yeah, that is why I mentioned alternative coins, but they are likely not going to be accepted.

As for "cleared", do you mean confirmed? Just pay 1-2 EUR more, that would make it almost, if not instant.
