I've tested going from the ADVFN wallet to my desktop wallet. That took under a minute. And, I've now tested some going back to my ADVFN wallet. It's taken 8 minutes and shows the time I initiated it. So, I receive in my desktop wallet faster than on the ADVFN wallet.
I've signed up with Trade Satoshi, but, still need to do that selfie to verify account. I'll be testing a small amount myself in the near future.
The mining is slow, but, it's looking better as the faucets run dry. lol
