Taler directly to other e-cash systems, since to our best knowledge there
is no working and publicly available implementation of any of them.

When compared with the current average confirmation time for Bitcoin
payments, Taler is many orders of magnitude faster. In a LAN, Taler
transactions taking about ten milliseconds are doable, given the speed
of modern SSD drives and RSA/EdDSA signature verification
algorithms.\footnote{We refer to \url{https://bench.cr.yp.to/} for
detailed benchmarks of cryptographic primitives.} In practice, a
few network round trips for the TCP/HTTPS handshakes and the HTTP
request dominate overall latency. While the confirmation time of
Taler is thus typically in the order of a few hundered milliseconds,
the time to mine even one block in Bitcoin is around ten
minutes \footnote{Data retrieved in May 2017 from
\url{https://blockchain.info/stats}}. Very conservative Bitcoin merchants,
such as exchanges, wait up to six blocks until they consider a transaction
confirmed.

the Bitcoin specification must wait for six such blocks until they
consider a transaction confirmed. Thus latency for durable
transactions in Bitcoin is about three to four orders of magnitude
lower.
