It's causing transactions to take longer than usual to confirm. In order to pull of the attack, the attacker has to pay a higher than average transaction fee. They will eventually run out of money and the attack will stop, but in the meantime you can send your transactions with higher fees to make sure that your transactions get confirmed instead of the attacker's (this will have the added benefit of forcing the attacker to spend through their bitcoins even faster to maintain the attack). Another attack...last 6 blocks (edit: and counting) have been hit. Example: #385910 (https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000000002d425c0a44d9e309678ddaa6ae687381150c59b231066a8) with 19125 fake sigOps. The block is only 200KB despite a 5MB backlog (according to tradeblock). It seems this attack is very effective.

The last days the bitcoin price was relatively volatile which mostly leads to a lot more transactions which then leads to full blocks and legit transactions not confirming.

Post by: redferrari on November 29, 2015, 08:43:02 PM fee's were to low, i've been waiting for 20+ blocks myself today without a confirm yet

I found this website being valuable for checking the status: http://statoshi.info/dashboard/db/transactions You can wait for the other block but in the meanwhile already new transactions came to the pool that are worth more than 1MB. So it is not said your transaction will be included at all. And yes that will get worse as long as the limit is not raised. Though there are some people, unfortunately a lot bitcoin developers too, that want it that way. They want to let people use the lightning network and they want higher fees. It's completely nuts to force bitcoins into such limits when you go deeper in that topic. Though i'm not so very much concerned. At one point in time bitcoiners will raise their voice in favor of raising the blocksize limit. Developers will follow or have to leave the coding work to other devs. Title: Re: What will happen to u confirmed transactions?

Would just like to point out that you are correct that 6+ hours is a long time for a simple local transaction, but it is an amazing speed for an international transaction. Especially considering that the network is still in beta, was experiencing an attack, and that the fee paid was less than four cents.and that is something that needs to be changed.. if its by ddos attack something needs to be made.. like this im waiting for longer then transfering fiat money.. xD Title: Re: What will happen to u confirmed transactions?

Especially considering that the network is still in beta, was experiencing an attack, and that the fee paid was less than four cents. This exactly. Also to be honest, 6+ hours is not long time even for 'simple local transaction' as most European countries still take one banking day even to transfer money inside the country if banks are different. I am Finnish and for example in Finland if you transfer from Bank 1 to Bank 2 (both banks operating in Finland) it will take 1-3 banking days. Regular SEPA transfer. In Finland we can only make instant transfers within the same bank. Title: Re: What will happen to u confirmed transactions?
