That is a valid point. The speed of blockchain is a problem for some applications.
Although Leofinance solved it with Leoinfra. Comments appear immediately on the front end to the one typing.
But a valid concern. Not sure it can be truly overcome since the blockchain operates at the speed it does.

Exactly, I think this is the main problem to be addressed, then a person to send another message would have to wait 6 seconds, now let me explain, it takes 3 seconds to send an HBD, but to receive it back it would take another 3 seconds, and if I don't have another fraction of HBD or HIVE I have to wait. Perhaps this is a limitation of the blokchian
It could be. I do not know enough about how that all works technically. After reading some of blocktrades posts, it doesnt seem to be all about 3 second blocktimes. Many other factors appear to be involved.
I agree this might not be technically feasible, at least to the point where it is worth it as a useful application.
Someone with more technical know how would have to chime in on all this.

Well the transitions on HIVE take 3 seconds, from what I knew, but if all this is not true it would be a more feasible project, however if you have any updates let me know, especially if I can help!
See my message above. Would that solve the latency issue?

Ah and another 3 seconds once the lap is back and then another 3 seconds of waiting ...
I can tell you how that works: when the comment is created, an internal copy of that data is displayed internally, at the same time a successful response ia received from the blockchain. So while it seems immediate to the poster, it does take 3 seconds for everyone else.
Now for messaging it’s different, because it really does take 3 seconds for the message to be sent. I don’t know that that really is a huge difference, but if so, it could be handled by a separate off-chain channel that sends the message rapidly, and then the on-chain is basically the persistence.
