I've been waiting on a localbitcoin transaction to confirm for hours now and still zero confirmations. Many of my friends don't know what I mean when I say "waiting on confirmations". Whoever flooded the chain to really show off their 1337 hax0r skills is a fucking moron.
Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to increase the memory pool...
You can increase the memory pool on your node by increasing the RAM - or are you talking about the block size? This is people spending money, probably to spam the network, not "1337 hax0r skills".
You should probably read a bit more before posting this in the tech section.
