Title: TX accelerators are spamming or?
Post by: Tesorex on December 16, 2017, 04:00:32 PM
I think some people are abusing this service, don't you think? there are only 3 pools doing this and they are limited to a certain number of transactions, how many topics do we have now in services with free/paid in their titles? I don't know if they are retarded or think others are, but if you are going to pay someone to put your TX in a block, pay that first time in fees.

Yeah, it can be annoying, but I think that as long as they are limited to one thread per service then they aren't breaking any rules.

Indeed >:(

Little correction: Only ViaBTC has a limit in terms of transaction numbers (the remaining two don't have it, although priority is given to Tx's with higher fees on Antpool and ConfirmTX hasn't been proven if it really works).
There's exactly 19 topics at the moment (up to page 4 only), excluding the other topics that users created for getting help.

They definitely think others are retarded and as result, their using this for their own benefit (in other terms scamming users for something that is out there for free).
* There are only few users that have a good intention among them (that ask nothing in return).

Yeah, it can be annoying, but I think that as long as they are limited to one thread per service then they aren't breaking any rules.
The issue is, some of them create multiple threads (either for having more presence or for pretending to be another new service).

The whole "Services" section has turned to be a big mess (lately). None of the normal topics (actual services) gets to stay on top (at most, for few hrs only). A sticky is required in "Services" section (for such cases or rather a guide for everyone to follow, in regards to free accelerators), even though it's better suited in "Technical Support" section. Either that or a dedicated sub-board for these services.

Its getting really annoying lately. This threads get bumped to the top the most.
Currently there are 12 txn accelerator services thread on the first page of services section ! 3 of them even has the exact copy-pasted title.
bitminers.pro was spamming the board recently by creating new topics frequently about his duplicate site of confirmtx.
Many users are willing to pay >10$ to those people whereas they could have done the same before as txn fees !
Btw, electrum has the option to increase the txn fees if the current one takes long, don't know if any other wallet has it yet.
