Currently we use coinbase, which automatically sets a reasonable fee on transactions. So far all my transactions have been faster than a few minutes.

You should switch to dogecoin since it has a faster confirmations.

I assume you're joking, but faster confirmation times doesn't necessarily mean they're equally secure. Blocks take time to propagate across the network, so if the confirmation time is too short miners will be working on old blocks for a larger portion of that time, essentially wasting some of their hashing power, making it easier for an attacker to beat them.

I was joking, yes.
