Here we go again....

A 10 minutes ago a few blocks were mined and right away, some automated ordinal system created 2000+ ordinal transactions on the next Mempool Block 1.

3 minutes after block 825027 was found. Mempool Block 1


5 minutes after block 825027 was found. Mempool Block 1


10 minutes after block 825027 was found. Mempool Block 1


5 minutes after block 825027 was found on Mempool Block 2


10 minutes after block 825027 was found on Mempool Block 2




I seriously can't make this stuff up, this ordinal automate system doing it job well.

One of the best Ordinal Dashboards I'm using to view Inscription traffic, for those that are interested in the matter.

Wouldn’t that just make it worst? Whatever automation system that are creating these spam ordinals can then just create an "inscription wall" at 50sat/vb and if no mining pools confirms them, that means all future hash rate fee will always be more than 50sat/vb.

I know the bitcoin nodes are decentralized and we can all create our own, but we are so far behind in game, we would have a better chance getting hit by lightning, after riding a train that just got derailed, while boarding after surviving a plane crash. Basically .00000001 chance of mining a block.

For all we know this ordinal automation system, could be using a pay it forward mechanism, which whatever ordinal transaction was mined from the previous mempool block, it must create the same ordinal transaction on the next mempool block 1. In this case, no one loses any $, as it’s a pay it forward system only when it drops to a certain rate fee. Then when the network gets congested again, every mining pools wins and go through this never ending cycle each time it gets to a certain rate fee threshold. We are screwed basically. At least clear out mempool first, because there are millions USD unconfirmed right now. At least balance the inputs/outputs, before regulating what the rate fee will be moving forward.

Literally the past 5 days, after a new block is mined under 50sats/vb… 1500-2500 new ordinals transactions are being created automatically with the previous rate fee of the block that was just mined. Whatever system that are creating all of these ordinals, needs to be stopped.

I updated the first image link, thinking I figured out how to make them appear.

Wouldn't that just cause the next block to always have the same rate fee, if the mining pool managers ignore inscriptions? Since those spam ordinals don't get confirmed, it will always remain in mempools next block with the same rate fee.

If you look in mempool, there is about 6,000 ordinals (filter by Inscriptions) between 30-35 sat/vb. Its like a buy wall of ordinals that keeps getting passed to the next block, because the mining pools are not accepting them to their block when found. This is tricking rate fees to always be 35sats or more, because of this wall of ordinals no one will confirm on the block sitting between 30-35sat/vb. If they don't get confirmed, rate fee will always be more than 35sat/vb. I don't think having pool managers removing them from their block is the solution. Its just passing the same issue, but downstream.

Sorry, I can't figure out how to post a image in a comment.

I updated my original post and replaced "miners" with "man". I didn't mean to stir the pot and create another overly exhausted debate regarding the network congestion.

This was purely comedy, as this meme was based off another funny meme. A meme within a meme. If you didn't find the meme funny, as I did. My apologies and feel free to tag it for removal.

Whatever the cause is... I'm sure the bitcoin community is already fully aware of it and hopefully the 250,000+ unconfirmed hashes in mempool will eventually get confirmed.

If there are more ordinals being confirmed than transactions at each block_height, I feel that the mempool will become bottomless.

total ordinals in block 4570

I didn't mean to imply Miners, I should of just said "Man, Him, They".
I didn't realize how popular inscriptions are... historically the past 3 months its been even 50/50 split between hashes and inscriptions. craziness how popular they are.

Wow, I didn't realize about 25-50% of each new block height are ordinals inscriptions, no wonder why the network has been busiest than ever lately.

I have no opinion in the matter. I just thought it was funny so I decided to share.

But whoever are creating these spam ordinals are on a mission... Every time a new block is mined, within seconds are roughly 500-1000 new ordinals created instantly with a rate fee higher than the previous.

Example of an wallet address that created 250-500 ordinals right after new block was mine for the past 3 blocks mined.

It might be a coincidence, but this was purely a meme I thought was funny.

I came across this meme and its too funny not to share. Man creates spam ordinals to create fake traffic jams each time the rate fee drops quickly  

Thanks for confirming for me! That makes total sense now.

Example #1
https://mempool.space/address/bc1qw2acyf9x2gtnxlydwf3e4rgw9fxgaxnm2jr4mu
1110 transactions for 13 cents each to the same wallet, why wouldn't you just sent the total amount once to the wallet to save on transaction fee?

Example #2
https://mempool.space/address/bc1plh4au35n0t4c7fdjnyr8s6m7krr2ddp5cxg747s5lmpnjrsrks9smu7ucz
Sending 23 cents transaction over and over again to the same wallet with the rate fee of $7.45USD for each one...

Example #3
https://mempool.space/address/bc1qy5g5tdx2evg3v5f4rj90f6amhy92gtam39n0hc
over 50,000 transactions sent, but the total amount is 20x less than is rate fee? So they are basically losing input, while sending all the micro outputs to the same wallet address. Just sent 1 total amount to the wallet, instead of 20,000?? no?

These type wallets are contributing to the network congestion on the bitcoin network and was hoping someone can give me more insight about them or why they are creating all of these micro transactions to the same wallet constantly.

Thanks

Yes, I know the sender. Its actually a company.

I have gone back and forth with the exchange and the sender, and neither of them are giving me any assistance and blaming it on the other.

Whoever added CPFP to the transaction knew exactly what they were doing. They even went as far as to adding a Locktime to the transaction so that it didn't get confirmed on the next block, giving them enough time to create a new CPFP transaction.

I guess as of right now, I have no choice but to wait till it either gets confirmed on the blockchain, pay for miner pool assistance, or wait till gets dropped from mempool.

Thanks everyone for all of your insight on this issue. This has helped me understand the real scope of this stuck transaction.

Merry Christmas everyone!

To pay .025 BTC still doesn’t offset the hash, im waiting for.
I’m waiting for the total amount of .0186 BTC, so in this case I would be losing $.

I don’t understand why the sender would be sending me unspent unconfirmed btc, that defeats the purpose of have a payment sent to me with high priority.

I guess the only solution is to wait till the effective fee rate gets to -17sat/b, as I doubt it will ever get purged from mempool.

I had sent it sent directly to coinbase.com exchange, because I had plans to converting it to SOL. I'll never make that mistake again.

So I just spoke to the sender and they didn't send the transaction to me with CPFP or unconfirmed hashes.

No one seems to know how my transacation got included with the CPFP hashes.

Are there any other tools I can use to do some investigations?

I sent it to a coinbase exchange

Thanks guys for your insight on this. This now makes a lot of sense to me. This is community is the best!

No way I'm paying $2200 to get my hash confirmed. The total hash being sent to me is $800.

This is a coinbase wallet, so I don't have access to the private key.

So the sender is using unconfirmed spent transactions to send my transaction? How is that even possible... would it be possible that coinbase is using CPFP on my transaction, since it came with high priority rate fee and they own my private key?

https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator is currently offline.

https://cpfp.djbooth007.com/ says it would have to pay $250USD, but I still don't understand why I have to pay additional payment to get my hash confirmed. The sender sent it directly to me with high priority. It has nothing to do with a Child or Parent. I'm also using a coinbase custodian wallet address, so I can't even create a new raw transaction.

PM sent.

thanks for looking at this for me. I paid for it to be sent to me with high priority fee rate and in the past, it always takes under 10 minutes to confirm, but for some reason the last 2 high priority transaction that was sent to me; has been stuck in mempool for over a week now.

Regarding your reply, why would there be a unconfirmed parent transaction, holding up my transaction? This hash was sent directly to me.
