Title: What do those unconfirmed transactions mean? Post by: Dr Bloggood on January 12, 2014, 08:08:15 PM This is a map of the unconfirmed transactions from blockchain.info:
https://blockchain.info/de/unconfirmed-transactions I don't get it though - there have been the same transactions on the map for hours and if you click on the little flags, they all transfered the same sum and look like they have something to do with Satoshi dice - where are the "real" transactions? Title: Re: What do those unconfirmed transactions mean? Post by: Nagle on January 12, 2014, 09:26:09 PM There are only 521 unconfirmed transactions right now. Today is a slow day. What's the problem?
When that number gets up into the thousands, the block chain is backing up. Bitcoin is limited to about 7 transactions per second, and during busy periods, confirmations will back up.

Like I said - why is the amount of all the transactions the same? Title: Re: What do those unconfirmed transactions mean?

I don't see any flags, and the transactions are all different amounts when I look. Perhaps there is something wrong with your web-browser? |
