But coin today a shitshow - an UMNITGATED disaster the last few days

24+ hours plus to complete a transacation. Absolutely unacceptable. I don't care what was a surge in volumne, right now highest priority is to get this fixed or watch the price die solwly but surelu back to $50 or less annual income.

Today was a biggest jokes I've ever witnesed.

Calm down i know it can be annoying but remember Bitcoin is still in its infancy, it will take time to get there.

How much of a fee did you pay?
Also, did you mean to send a transaction or to wait for it to confirm?

yeah its frustrating...something must be done.  But then again, you must pay at least 0.0001 btc or something like that as a fee.  so 5 cents.

All of my transactions have gone throught smoothly. Are you using the requested fee? If not, use an app that's on reddit somewhere that tells you the optimal fee to make the transaction in X time. All wallets should suggest optimal fees automatically..

Welcome to the new normal.

Read this text by Jeff Garzik and you'll understand better the extend of the problem.

As Satoshi said:

I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be whatever volume of (bitcoin) transactions one or two developers allow or no volume.
