Any Idea when will be the Eth blockchain will be OK?
because of the traffic of eth blockchain I did not have profit on BTC high PEAK.

Any idea what will be the cause of this TRAFFIC in eth tX?

and any IDEA when will be OK?

Nope I have been jammed up for a few days now myself and I can't think of any solution other than try putting a higher amount for fees? It may not work but it is worth a try if you are missing out on a good spot.

The traffic is because of new blockchain game called Cryptokitties. Nobody knows when the network will be fine. Current transaction cost on ETH network is around 1.8 USD.

This, although kitties doesn't actually account for the whole jam, it was running pretty close to capacity so to speak and then the kitties pushed it over the edge, there's no time frame for it being resolved, the only solution is to increase GWEI so you get priority.

Etherdelta operation is very troublesome. Need to be corrected as soon as possible.

Hello. I dont think the cryptokitties hype will hold very long, so the network should run smoother soon. Or i have seen decentraland rise very fast, so maybe there will be the next surge (not actually sure if decentraland can clog the network)

Cheers

Fuck cryptokitties, i dont know why they have created this project because it is shit, it has been killing the whole blockchain of ethereum for more than two days.


All those people, including me, are now starting to use ethereum to run out from the bitcoin killer fees, and now we have to pay $2,5 worth of fees in order to send an ethereum transaction? and it is not even getting confirmed.

This is pure garbage, bitcoin fees are over $15, and ethereum's are $2,5 for every TX

when is it going to stop? do we really need to switch again to another crypto in order to send payments faster and cheaper?

If the cryptokitties will still operate and it seems there will be more pending tx in the ethereum blockchain. It will be ok if the cryptokitties will be stopped by the developers. But it looks impossible. the possible thing for you to do at this time just increase your transaction fees.

I am hoping this whole "cryptokitties" thing is a deploy to make the developers solve the transaction problem. The main reason I switched to ethereum originally was because of the slow transactions and fee times from bitcoin. However I cant complain with a $.30 fee really. I just hope it gets fixed soon because I make a lot of transactions a day.

I think Ethereum is a very solid project. However, in recent days, the traffic on the network has become too much and problems have begun to occur. I think the developers will come from above. There's no need for a Fork rumor right away

We all know that dear, if ethereum wouldnt be a solid project it would not be at the #2 on coinmarketcap.

You discovered that the world is not flat.


And the traffic is massive right now, and with this issue from cryptokitties the whole blockchain is collapsed.

And at the same time bitcoin is collapsed too, so both blockchains are collapsed and this is creating a lot of fuf in ethereum, but not in bitcoin, and i do not know why, because both are almost the same.

Bitcoin has more than 230,000 unconfirmed transactions atm.

The number of unverified transactions in the Ethereum network is not so much a problem as compared to Bitcoin. This is a problem that will soon resolve sooner or later.

As for the stability of the Ethereum project; I do not think it's such a solid project. We are experiencing lock-outs for some time. More permanent solutions are needed.

Bitcoin is even worst than ethereum. The ethereum increase on the txfees. But remember some of the ethereum wallet service already provided the limited amount to the transaction fees. The cryptokitties makes the blockchain gets stuck. The scaling solution seems to be the best answer for this. But it will be happening very soon.

I think due to massive growth in eth and huge interest due to the fork and upgrade coming soon, we may see network congestion throughout this month.
