You might be right. I searched the name of the company and the CEO is a strong supporter of cryptocurrency, but there's no indication that their products are actually cryptocurrency related.

Still wouldn't make sense for there to be a 10 minute wait, unless the backend servers are just as clogged and unusable as popular blockchains are.

(Possibly crazy conspiracy theory w/ no basis in reality: The company is putting in `sleep(5mins + jitter)` into each transaction to prepare a fresh open-minded market for future cryptocurrency adoption when the legislative environment allows for it)
