28 000 unconfirmed TXs

so the fee is for miner who'll confirm it

Yes, when miners confirm transactions, they get to keep the transaction fees.  So, by paying a fee on your transactions you provide an incentive for a miner to choose your transaction instead of a transaction from someone else that paid less of a fee.

how you got this code?

My wallet hadn't dropped your transaction from it's memory pool yet.

I ran getrawtransaction in the console in my Bitcoin Core wallet with the transactionID from the link you provided.

what https://blockchain.info/pushtx exactly do?

It sends the transaction to the peers that blockchain.info is connected to.

hmm, i think i'm starting understanding..., sorry i'm like a noob at technical area from bitcoin...

i just use it lol..., so the fee is for miner who'll confirm it

but i still don't understand well how this re-push works, how you got this code?

and what https://blockchain.info/pushtx exactly do?

Thanks man, you helping me alot ^^

The code is the raw hex of your transaction. This is what gets sent between nodes. Just copy and paste all of this into the link and click submit transaction and that transaction will be resubmit to the Bitcoin network for it to reach miners and hopefully become confirmed.

thanks for info ^^

so the fee is for miner who'll confirm it

thanks!, so now i only need a good miner charity my transaction lol and if it disappear i call again until a day i can get confirm? ^^

[kshyzer]

ah... Network Propagation: 18% - 207 Nodes - (Very Poor)

what this mean? that it sent to 207 miner?

[kshyzer]

well, at least it is better than before... it was 0%, with 0 nodes lol

[DannyHamilton]

ah... Network Propagation: 18% - 207 Nodes - (Very Poor)

what this mean? that it sent to 207 miner?

No.  Just that 207 peers seem to be aware of the transaction.  Maybe all of them are miners.  Maybe none of them are miners.  No way to know for sure.

[toptek]

I'm one of them from Slush pool it been stetting there for a a day now i think, it says unconfirmed, i mined it.


1d2d8ac1bc63d39f435c0bf1aa30844433e32feaca507e3925e6c46844107402

it's not much but sense then i did a big payout on Eligius Pool Statistics and it's all most completely confirmed.  by completely confirmed if you mine there you know how there payout works, i love it .

"The 1 MB blocksize limit was only put in as a tx spam limiting measure"
and
"The tx spam that is backing up in the memepool is proof we need to remove the blocksize limit"
Only one of these statements can be true.
Pick one.

I can't put it any better than that. People saying that we need to raise the blocksize limit to prevent DOS is utterly and obviously senseless, illogical, and untrue; contrary to all reason or common sense; laughably foolish and false*.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3cfext/bitcoin_under_attack/csvoxvp
*http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/absurd

This framing of the 1MB debate above is totally irrelevant to the historical and current context of the situation for Bitcoin.

Framing it in what way? I was saying that lifting the blocksize limit is not a way to prevent DOS or spam, which is true. Pedantically, larger blocks are negligibly harder to fill.
Redditors abound with this notion, and the OP thought that maybe this was the reason for the attack.

Trying to leverage the 1MB to force a viable fee-market earlier is a dangerous experiment in "Blockchain Economics", as the market will simply turn to other cryptocurrency solutions instead. Markets can't be forced to do anything, as a long list of central bankers are finding out time and time again.

So in the name of not messing with the market, we should mess with the market? In the name of not acting like central bankers, who arbitrarily modify the constraints of a currency, we should act like central bankers by modifying the constraints of a currency?

Round 2: Welcome to 2016, when the blocksize is still retarded small and more than 200 000 people want to use Bitcoin once a day!

Over 50 000 transactions now, with a new mempool size record, over 1 full day to clear the current backlog.

what will happen if a transaction is unconfirmed from last 30 hours , will i lose my BTC that i transacted?

Yes, you will lose all your bitcoins and the wallet will explode!

In reality however, the BTC never left your wallet, it's still there...

uhh no, you will not loose your BTC, anyway because of current load and ongoing stress tests you will have to wait even more. your fee (0.0001112 BTC) is also not the highest one these times, when we had even almost 5k tx per block..

And the worst thing about all this is, it only took $400 dollars to do.

If the block was 8MB, it would have costed $3200 USD dollars moneys.

No.

Imagine that you were in a shipping company that ships boxes of air to other people, and your manager is complaining because the boxes are always full. He insists that you need to start using bigger boxes so that the boxes won't be full of air.

The point is that it is always trivial to send enough transactions to fill a block. Big blocks don't prevent spam, or DOS, nor do they necessarily make it more expensive. The bigger the blocks, the smaller the fees for inclusion.

[lorylore]

I was just thinking what will happened if 28 000 visa transactions will be messed in the world.
28k tx. is a large amount. Hope will be solved asap.

[PolarPoint]

Did the people responsible for these so called tests say when there tests will stop? If this goes on, it will take  a week to confirm all the transactions in the mempool. Is this there method of proving we need larger blocks or larger blocks lead to spam and oversized blockchain?

[Syke]

Code:

$ ~/bitcoin-0.10.2/bin/bitcoin-cli getmempoolinfo
{
    "size" : 59651,
    "bytes" : 112127725
}

Impressive, but not unexpected. Transactions have always been very cheap. I'm surprised this attack didn't happen before.

It does become more expensive to raise the transaction fee to a certain minimum price though.

If the mempools start struggling to keep up, all you need to do is configure them to ignore transactions below some price. The current minimum price is clearly too cheap, as these attacks are being effective at filling mempools.

What's wrong with the mempool filling up and increasing your own transaction fee? The minimum bitcoin fee is zero. The default minimum is 0.0001  bitcoins, but that is entirely optional.
The developers so far have been reluctant to implement any kind of price fixing measures, knowing the negative consequences of it. This includes not only the fact that changing any of those parameters would require a hard fork, but also all of the other inherit economic problems.

If the mempools start struggling to keep up, all you need to do is ...

... kick people out so the remaining people can place their transactions in an orderly fashion?

66 000 transactions now.
