Could you elaborate on the safety of 0-confirmation transactions in Bitcoin Cash? Given the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies and the potential for double-spending attacks, I'm curious to understand the risks associated with 0-conf transactions. Specifically, what measures does Bitcoin Cash employ to mitigate the risks of fraud or double-spending in these instantaneous transactions? And how do merchants and users typically approach the use of 0-conf transactions in their daily operations? Understanding the nuances of this topic would be invaluable for anyone considering utilizing this feature.

However, for everyday transactions, a more lenient approach can be taken. In the case of Bitcoin Cash, 0-confirmation transactions (0-conf) are generally considered safe.

In scenarios involving high-value transactions such as selling cars or property, or for businesses that handle significant individual user funds and thus pose a potential risk, I would recommend waiting for 3 or more confirmations.

However, for many small and medium-sized transactions, the convenience of 0-conf often outweighs the potential risks. Users can make quick and easy payments without waiting for multiple confirmations.

This is because with Bitcoin Cash, when you observe a transaction without a confirmation, you can have reasonable assurance that it will be included in the next block or two.
