You're trying to tell me that a 9 MB block was mined? That is impossible right now. Could you link me to the exact block that you've seen, as I can not find it/information related to it.

Im not saying that a 9 MB has been minted. Im just seeing on tradeblock.com that there are currently more than 8k transactions with a size of more than 9 MB since the last block. I dont know if I see anything wrong?!?

The las block has been just released with maximum block capacity of 970 KB. Still more than 8 MB pending. I have the feeling that this is not normal...

Does this not have to do with that stress test they are doing again now in September?

Ah that is something else entirely. You're talking about unconfirmed transactions, right? There is ~6500 on blockchain.info and the size is around 5800kb. This is actually quite good as this number tends to be much higher. Does this not have to do with that stress test they are doing again now in September?
I do not see any signs of a stress test just yet. Have they stated a day on which they will start this "stress test"? |

Not that I'm aware of as I'm not really bothered by it. If I have an urgent transaction I always check the backlog and just up the fees on the transactions. Never had problems before even with the previous tests they did. |

I dont understand how it is possible that we have roundabout 6k unconfirmed transactions and already minted 2 blocks. I thought, miners are packing all transactions together. But I guess the answer is more complicated |

But I guess the answer is more complicated Blocks are limited in space, so they can't just put all transaction in one block. MIners have to prioritize which transactions go in the next block, and which have to wait. |

But why do we sometimes have blocks with 1 or very few transactions in them even when there are a large number of transactions in the mempool?
Edit: Take the last block, only 111 transactions and size of block only 87kB yet 6,557 unconfirmed transactions in mempool

It depends on the miner.
They often mine 0 transaction blocks, because it is faster in certain situation.
They often reject some transactions(everybody with a full node can configure, what transactions get in their mempools)

Do they find blocks faster because they were lucky and found the right nonce very fast? |
