Coinbase may be one of the reasons for network congestion. Scalability problems persist despite some promising fixes to the Bitcoin infrastructure. The problem of high fees and long lead times continue to haunt the most famous cryptocurrency. This time, as Coinbase’s mempool showed, it revealed the space of unconfirmed transactions in the Bitcoin network.
Several Twitter users have discovered that the time of confirmation of a transaction in mempool is correlated with an error that occurred on Coinbase. The exchange informed users about the interruption in BTC traffic on his website. This break lasted about two hours. With the resumption of Operation CivEkonom through Twitter, it has proved that Coinbase’s exclusive activity is capable of successfully filling mempool, which has dramatically increased transaction times.
