[Onboarding] Got CoinPayments to accept BCH for their gift card - Now I need your help

They started accepting BCH, but they require 3 confirmations for the payment to be considered "received" and the item sent to your email. Now I need to request that they accept 0 confirmations, like BitPay does.

I'd like to provide some arguments about the security of 0 confirmation payments on BCH, and was wondering if anyone had any resources about that. Off the top of my head, I would tell them that since blocks are never full, BCH operates on a first-seen rule and there's no Replace By Fee, payments are "irreversible" / 0-conf can be considered safe. But perhaps there has been scientific research.

Now that you're here, if you want to move a big part of your monthly spending to BCH, check out BitPay's "Pay with BitPay" browser extension / BitPay wallet for mobile, where you can buy gift cards/credit of major brands like Amazon, Ikea and tons of stores. Complement it with CoinPayments gift cards (this one requires KYC) and you can also pay your petrol at Cepsa and other petrol stations, supermarkets like Carrefour and much more. I'm already using BCH for 80% of my spending.
