I've long been annoyed that everyone, including myself uses Paypal/ Venmo for moving money around. What alternatives do you find useful? Here's a list (https://alternativeto.net/software/venmo/). GNU Taler looks viable (https://taler.net/en/index.html). I would love to have your thoughts!

Edit: Thanks for everyone's input. I really appreciate it. <3

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
