https://archive.vn/wip/kXwfI As you see there is a break/drop of everything and it's very unusual size for every sat range too. Is this something related to actual pool or the site owner had a break of connection or maybe something gone off in his hosting/domain? Nothing very serious but just curious to know the reason.

Is this something related to actual pool or the site owner had a break of connection or maybe something gone off in his hosting/domain? I was expecting that my transaction would confirm when the graph dropped down but it was disappointing as it is stuck for the past few days ;D and i do not think that it was a break in connection, yesterday or day before i saw a thread here talking about a billion dollars worth of coins getting confirmed for a few dollars when the entire mempool was full and the transaction charges were well above 700 SAT/B.Nothing very serious but just curious to know the reason. Here is the thread. Bitcoin Whale transfers $1 billion in bitcoin and pays $3.54 in fees?

I've just noticed that. It's also present on btc.com chart (https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx) and it made me curious too. a thread here talking about a billion dollars worth of coins getting confirmed for a few dollars when the entire mempool was full and the transaction charges were well above 700 SAT/B. That transaction has happened last Sunday. This "glitch" is from the last 24h (last night). So there's no relationship between them. If you read through that tread you'll see that the fees were smaller last Sunday and that transaction simply paid the normal fee.

That's what I thought until I've seen it in the second place. i wouldn't be surprised if btc.com were taking its data from jochen-hoenicke.de! LoL !!!! ;D ;D I would expect better than than that. I mean, they have their own pool, why would they use 3rd party data? Also btc.com chart may be older that J-H one (at least I've heard of btc.com page way earlier than about the J-H page, but I am aware that this may not mean anything). On the other hand.. other 2 charts don't seem to have the glitch: https://mempool.observer/#historical-mempool https://www.blockchain.com/charts/mempool-size My current assumption is that certain software has crashed. If it was the same computer or not, I cannot tell.

Not everyone is making $1 Billion dollar transaction :-PHere is the thread. Bitcoin Whale transfers $1 billion in bitcoin and pays $3.54 in fees? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5285199.0) Earlier I had a tx with 150 sat/Byte got confirmed and it was hanging up for last two days I guess. But this is the reality we have to accept I guess. On the other hand.. other 2 charts don't seem to have the glitch: I thought pooya87 had a good explanation.https://mempool.observer/#historical-mempool https://www.blockchain.com/charts/mempool-size Quote My current assumption is that certain software has crashed. If it was the same computer or not, I cannot tell. You mean more than one software? If it happens for only one software then this must be a massive one and I wonder which one was that.Title: Re: Wha happened here? jochen-hoenicke.de Post by: NeuroticFish on October 30, 2020, 11:45:36 AM I thought pooya87 had a good explanation. It was not bad at all, but I think that the chances btc.com uses jochen-hoenicke.de for data are not so big (of course, I may be wrong). Hence I think that both were using the same software somewhere and that one has crashed for both. You mean more than one software? If it happens for only one software then this must be a massive one and I wonder which one was that. I am not sure what you mean. You know that same version of same program can be copied, installed and ran on different machines, right? I guess it could/would be something in between the bitcoin core and a database where the website gets its data from. But I am just assuming.

That transaction was made on 2020-10-26 15:19 UTC (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/d486aeb0e59181fd1addb4aa69ce04d638188fc1125c424899267e8ed6a8af24). It was about exactly 4 days ago (as of writing, it is 18:48 UTC 30 Oct 2020).Here is the thread. Bitcoin Whale transfers $1 billion in bitcoin and pays $3.54 in fees? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5285199.0)
With the 1 week window, you can check more details: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,1w That transaction would be an instant one with first confirmation in next 1 or 2 blocks. The screenshot (at 15:11 UTC) is not totally correct because around 15:18 UTC, there was less than 1 MB in mempool from the tip to 70 satoshi/ byte fee rate. I don't know when the sender sign that transaction but it seems to be a very quickly confirmed transaction and it was made when the total size of mempool is about 10 MB. It was done before the transaction fee storm.

I am not sure what you mean. You know that same version of same program can be copied, installed and ran on different machines, right?

Do you mean source code of jochen-hoenicke.de (https://github.com/jhoenicke/mempool (https://github.com/jhoenicke/mempool)) and there are bug which makes both website stats looks weird. Title: Re: Wha happened here? jochen-hoenicke.de Post by: logfiles on October 30, 2020, 09:42:43 PM LoL !!!! ;D ;D Mempool.space's graph have doesn't have such an error as well https://mempool.space/graphs#24hI would expect better than than that.

And they even went ahead and put a BTC.COM label on their chart ;D Title: Re: Wha happened here? jochen-hoenicke.de Post by: NeuroticFish on October 31, 2020, 01:47:46 PM Do you mean source code of jochen-hoenicke.de (https://github.com/jhoenicke/mempool (https://github.com/jhoenicke/mempool)) and there are bug which makes both website stats looks weird. Indeed, it may be that or something heavily based on that. Good find, I didn't pay attention to see that the source code for J-H site is on Git.

Is this something related to actual pool or the site owner had a break of connection or maybe something gone off in his hosting/domain? In order for the line down on the chart to be real, at least 20 blocks would have had to have been found in the time one datapoint is collected on the graph. The line on the chart going back up is simply not how the network behaves. I reviewed found blocks from Oct 29, and in fact there were not blocks found that resulted in all those pending transactions being confirmed at nearly once. |
