With variance going sometimes up to one-hour, Avalanche or another 0conf finality solution is much needed.

As of now, the last block was discovered close to 1 hour ago: https://cash.coin.dance/blocks#blockDetails

This is normal and is due to variance, but this indicates more than anything that a 0conf finality solution is much needed.

Finality doesn't mean protection against double-spending; it just means a final confirmation that X1 rather than X2 transaction will be mined, and the largest miners who mined the last 100 blocks assure you of that.

If X1 happens to be the double-spend tx, you now have a much faster way of knowing that you've been scammed rather than waiting for what's this far close to 1-hour variance to know.

Just my 2 satoshis.
