7 hours and 0 confirmations...

Total time 8.5 hours before 1 confirmation.

doesn't show up in some explorers.. dunno why. edit: is there any chance that it's because of this?

btw I don't think there's a stress test cuz I just sent some just a hour ago and it got confirmed under 20 minutes

[achow101]

Interesting. It doesn't show up in blockchain.info either but I see it in blocktrail. According to blocktrail, its priority is too low for it to be considered high priority and be confirmed.

[zvs]

it's considered a dust transaction,  my bitcoind blocked it for that reason

[Pathi]

I guess Nicehash is getting cheap on the fees.

Well, here is a weakness in real-time of BTC and the blockchain.

Whoever is clogging up the system better have a really good explanation

                                                  or

better stay out of sight...

[favdesu]

oh, that explains why I'm waiting too... didn't they run a stress test recently? why another one now? 

[Meuh6879]

Beautifull (and free) network, this Bitcoin ...

[ShopemNL]

So the solution is more node's or miners?

[scarsbergholden]

oh, that explains why I'm waiting too... didn't they run a stress test recently? why another one now? 

It could be random testing to see how the environment reacts, we sure react when its been more then 1 hours and have no confirmations , hopefully there is a better explanation to the transaction spike.

or just use normal fees to mitigate problem

Well, here's a recent recipient of $0.02...

(emphasis mine)

MANY transactions, they look like mostly $0.02.


I think we have a perp...

Same here 0 confirmation even some hours pass.

[achow101]

Looks like there are over 11000 Unconfirmed transactions. There is going to be a huge backlog that won't be cleared until whoever is spamming stops.

[unent]

I'm having the same problem. I withdrew from an exchange and couldn't tell them how much in transaction fees I wanted to pay. If I had known in advance I would have paid far more in fees to get my transaction processed fast. Blockchain.info said this every time I have checked for hours now.

Estimated Confirmation Time: Within 6 Blocks (Medium Priority)
