I sometimes check the address
https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactionsTo see current status of unconfirmed transactions in the BTC blockchain, and i currently see that the average (for the past 24 hours?) has been 29.6 transactions/second.
If the BTC network is limited to around 5 transactions/second how is this possible? I reckon there is some calculation error in the website, is this it?
I can't locate the source where they calculate the transactions per second is, this is the
closest I could find right now.
But I don't think the "Transactions Per Second" is per 24 hours, is more like per 10minutes or per several blocks.
If several blocks in succession get solved quicker than the average 10 min solve-time, then the "Transactions Per Second" will rise.
