126K unconfirmed transactions and climbing.   ??? ???

What happens if it goes to 200k?  500k? what if the miners dip out and no transactions can even be confirmed?  :-\

I think this is the kind of scenario that everyone here should be resolving. Like create projects on how to address this. Not creating so much free eth tokens or altcoins that has no reason to exist at all. If some entity can dedicate on how solve at least 50% of this, that would be nice.

The number of unconfirmed transactions is huge. And it's rising. I'm waiting for some of my transactions to be confirmed over 24 hours. Could it be this some kind of miners pressure because the fork was cancelled and now they are trying to change this? Maybe I'm paranoic but it seems to me this is not accidental. Like someone wants to prove their point.

The network will soon start to reject some of the older transactions and the transactions with the higher fees will get confirmed, the situation will fix itself soon. When there are thousands of backlogged transactions, the average transaction fee goes up which gives miners an incentive to keep mining, I'm certain that the miners will continue to mine. If they stop for some reason, i guess that the network will reject the transactions and the coins would be returned to the wallet that they're being sent from.

ohh, thank you.  I didn't know that, thanks for shedding some light on it  :)

There have been past instances of people sending out transactions between addresses owned by themselves to put pressure on the network in the past but this is quite expensive so I don't think that is what is taking place right now. The total fees that they would have to pay to send all those transactions would be astronomical.



no problem

Roger Ver and his crew are spamming the network as it was predicted by anyone smart. There is an ongoing attack on bitcoin right now, with strong propaganda coming from the Roger Ver big blocker camp which consists on media propaganda while spamming the bitcoin network. Their goal is to trick the market into assuming that the market wanted bigger blocks, to make them think rejecting segwit2x was a mistake, so they will have more support next time. Of course outside the ongoing manipulation, there's no real support for big blocks. They will run out of money, and once this happens, BCash will dump and BTC will continue growing as usual. Get out of BCash while you can.

I feel like I should be helping BTC somehow....I wish this algorithm could still be mined with GPUs  :-[

Pretty shitty move on Roger's part

WOW, I'm surprised, that's a huge amount,
the hardfork issue keeps the holders of Bitcoin selling their coins,
which causes a lot of unconfirmed transactions and the slowly falling Bitcoin price ...

I will not be making an transaction for the time being why because blockchain.info are now charging a whopping $7 for a regular transaction fee which is way too much in my opinion. What makes the transaction fees even rises so high in the first place.

Hard fork issue? There isn't an issue at all. People bought the market up just for the purpose of having more S2X coins after the chain split, but there is no split at all, so these people are unloading their coins again. It's greed, and that's really it. Unconfirmed transactions right now have to do with a higher overall usage, and a mild spam attack. If miners don't mine empty blocks, which is something that Antpool does on a regular basis, and stop spamming the network in an attempt to make Bitcoin look bad, and of course to boost their fee income, mempools by far wouldn't be as stacked as they are now.

excellent point.  I was already thinking this was a calculated attack.

P.s Don`t let your self get tricked by this f.ng  BCH pump trick. I know emotions are boiling now in many, I get many calls from my friends asking like "wtf  I should do, should I sell my btc, what will happen to BCH and so on".  IT`s all a big pump.

REMEMBER one golden rule - from big steepy cliff there is only one way down. and it will be painful...

Go outside, take some cigarete, beer, relax, go to sleep and in next 48 hours all will be fine and BTC will continue groth.

and again - Long live the king BTC! :)

Exactly this, what's going on right now is clear market manipulation by men who became extremely rich thanks to bitcoin (what a way to thank bitcoin). Ver is a straight up criminal but we saw this coming from a mile away. It seems like we're not quite there yet after all. Ver realizes he will never be able to control bitcoin so he's trying to get people to switch over to his sh*tcoin. Attacking bitcoin is a suicide mission and I hope it will destroy any kind of reputation this guy has left. This will be one of the last major tests for bitcoin to overcome before we can start striving towards mass adoption.

This is because large block fans didn't get to take control of Bitcoin after all. Soon they'll calm down and things will get back to normal but not until they've annoyed as many people as possible. I give it till after the weekend.

Then it'll be the same again in a few weeks or days until they die of old age or a bubble of negativity bursts in their brains.

Don't you remember what was happening before the BCH fork. The network was being spammed by transactions and newbies were running around spreading fear that BTC can't handle it and you'll need to switch to BCH :D After the fork when the price was low and there was no interest the BTC network became much faster. A coincidence? I don't think so.

I think it is just a set up? Or just a trick of BitcoinCash? Well i don't think so but we still support the no.1 crypto currency Bitcoin to help and reduce the unconfirmed transactions. I knew it happens many times so we doesn't need to worry

sounds like a solid plan to me.  have a pint and wait for this all to blow over  8)

126k unconfirmed transactions in Bitcoin? Or are you talking about overall in the crypto market? I bet the new commers in the crypto market did most of those.

It does seem like a bit of a coincidence that the blocks are running full just when Bitcoin Cash is making a move up. I don't think spamming the network just to prove a point is sustainable. We will know the true story in a few days.

same old scenario way back BCH fork also clogged and spammed.the so called market manipulation,and people believe they will profit frm bch.hold your coins guys this is the way to 10k$.im just waiting for the dip and buy more btc.bitcoin will survive again!

this a just manipulation of people who have made garbage so as to create a confusion of miners , the block should be above 2mb to immediately in the miners confirmation is that true? this makes altcoin up ,I include my colleague issued our income in the form of altcoin to be quickly accepted

The BTC 24h volume almost doubled for the last time, people are dumping it after the latest news. There is nothing strange that you see a lot of unconfirmed transactions now.

According to you if the volume doubles it means people are dumping it. Great thinking. What if the volume doubles because people who bought it today are moving it out of exchanges? What if it doubles because people are moving coins to exchanges to profit from volatile market and trade a bit?
If people were dumping it you wouldn't see $6000 right now but at least 1k less.

Also, we saw that bitcoin miner fees is too high now. On blockchain wallet, The standard transactions fees is around 10$, It's too high for a transaction. So we should wait and save our bitcoin this days until bitcoin miner fees will drop again.

It is artificial situation, old spamming methods for some purpose. The latest news are good for btc

Jihan wuu takes his hashpower to bitcoin cash almost catch bitcoin hashpower for moment it is bcc 5.03 exahashes per second and bitcoin 5.09 per second but i guess this money hungry speculator will dump his own bcc at a good price soon.
if they move entire hash to bcc they now tehy will lose their btc also. he dont he just play with the market.
this is the why centralized cyrpto is sucks and a %100 centralized bitcoin cash will not be successful.
he didn't understand the soul of bitcoin yet. My guess in future when he totally centralized his bitcoin cash  someone from Chinese government will teach him a great lesson.
here link last hashes powers:
https://fork.lol/pow/hashrate

Miners power is really worrying me. I didn't know how much they can affect the market. Now I think there is something more important than supply and demand which determines the prices. " Miners are determining the prices. "

My last transaction took too long to be confirmed which was really strange at the moment, i sent some btc 2 days ago using regular transaction fee and i had to wait about 4 hours to see the first confirmation. With all these unconfirmed transactions i believe something big is going to happen and bitcoin network will never be the same.

Tried sending some BTC from GDAX to Bittrex. It's been a few hours not. Nothing :( BTC really has to solve the transaction issue (both speed and price).

I'm with you on this one. This is just an attempt to try to make the market believe that is regretting not having accepted the 2x fork. Since bcash is no the best options for big blocks, they are trying to create the impression that everyone is now searching for big blocks in bcash, since they won't have them on bitcoin.

Roget Ver wont get out of money soon, because he definitely has a lot of bitcoins, and we all knew this would happen sometime. I think this is just going to be another test for bitcoin, and as usual, when bitcoin passed this tests, it gets stronger than it was before.

Without miners, there wouldn't be transaction confirmation.  That's the issue with ASIC farms controlling the game; mining is no longer decentralized nor possible by the average populace.  I'm very curious how this will pan out considering we're leading up to mining only being done by the wealthy and powerful.  Ironic, considering the original intent of what bitcoin was to represent.

jihanese asic owners fighting bad
why bitcoin devs didn't change to different algorithm when Chinese became the majority?
My guess they want to keep hashrate advantage because hashrate usually followed by price.
now when jihan pist transcation times goes days but thats all he can do lol.

I'm having same issue. My transaction not getting confirmed. Its been 2 days but still showing unconfirmed transaction. If any help and if it will be confirmed then i will give 200$. Please help.

in this case the lighning network protocol is highly needed, well just hope itll be integrated soonest of time, because this is the only downside of bitcoin from it rising momentum, transction time is very vital specially in micropayments situation,

I'm really starting to worry that Bitcoin will no longer be able to deliver what it has promised a few months back.

3 days unconfirmed again, with 10$ fee paid, for 320$ send. They should call it jerkoff network not bitcoin.

The problem with this unconfirmed transaction hasn't been resolved until now. This is one of the reasons why Bitcoin Cash is pumping. Investors are switching to it because it has faster transaction and much cheaper that Bitcoin. Its value is now more than $3k. I'm not sure if it can replace Bitcoin.
