Delayed transactions

[PolarPoint]

It is sometimes difficult for a newbie to know whether a spam attack is in progress. It's too late to do anything when the transaction is send with a standard 0.0001 fee. So it is good practice to check the network before sending. An easy way is to check:
https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC

Follow the optimal fee specified on the page, can't go wrong.

Then Bitcoin is done in its current stage.
Stupid ppl still argue that "we have lots of time." " blocksize limit is there because of spam"

The bitcoin network is handling spam quite well in my opinion, it is far from done. Watching fee trends is necessary irrespective of blocksize limit. I support the increase of the limit. Even when the limit is raised, we would still need to watch fee during peak times.

In recent months the pending transactions are far more than the limit of current block size.you could see the bar in here Cointape.com . So the senders have to pay more than recommended fees to get the transactions confirmed!

It has become normal, actually using bank transfer is quicker than bitcoin at the moment, and also cheaper if you live in a SEPA zone...
