Wow ,almost 30,000 unconfirmed trans now

Are the miners sleeping? LOL

I believe the miners are waiting for people to increase their transaction fees - but then no one wants to pay more money...

I believe that the price per Bitcoin is high enough to cover the values these guys are getting, as when the price was $250, then too these guys were getting profits when the fee were 0.0001, so currently it's x3, so I don't think that they are getting less for the transactions, right???

[ArticMine]

are the blocks full or are the miners getting greed with the transaction fee?

or someone send thousants of transactions at once?

For the most part the blocks are full. https://blockchain.info/

Doesn't seem like the market cares. The price for a bitcoin is still very high.

Is there a risk that these transactions will be deleted? and in that case, what happens to the bitcoins that I was suppose to receive?

Since version 0.12, all transactions in the mempool longer than 72 hours are removed. All transactions that are kicked out of the mempool of a node are then rejected by that node if another node tries to relay it to them again, although presumably there's a limit to the rejection period.

The money in those cases just remains with the sender, the receiving address can't access an output that was never confirmed.

The quantity of users are increasing so are the transactions, and the block size (as some people say) right now not enough to take the load, and the miners have rejected to accept a larger block size which results more unconfirmed transactions.
Hopefully it gets solved soon.

[requester]

its very hateful news for us because being the most use coin all over the world it is lagging in miners. one of my friend was also got trapped in this unconfirmed list. and myself was also a victim of the same. i was very tensed because my money was not getting verified.

[Lauda]

It would be nice if these signature spammers stopped posting here. Being tensed (^) because your money does not verify quickly implies a lack of knowledge. Nothing will happen to your coins if they do not confirm.

Not all of them are full:

Some are even empty, although their percentage has been dropping. The miners tehnically decide whether they want to include TXs.

[Doamader]

This is the second time that happens since the halving had occured, something must be done for clean those transactions, its getting clear that bitcoin need the changes. The last time i remember it had reached something like 70k transactions unconfirmed, this cant keep happening with bitcoin, even knowing there are more people using bitcoin, but this require attention.

my transaction is now gone

I would not call 35 Satoshi per Byte a high fee. Ill rebroadcast it, let me know (best via PM) when its confirmed please.

No, that can not be correct. Are you using blockchain.info? Contact their support, get this fixed and stop using such a bad wallet. Use one of the desktop SPV wallets (e.g. Electrum) if you do not want to run Bitcoin Core.

For the most part the blocks are full. https://blockchain.info/

The blocks are almost never full. Below is the average block size chart for the last 30 days, with points corresponding data on the given day. The fill-up ratio increased somewhat over the baseline during the last few days, but nearly identical situation was about a month ago. And I don't remember people complaining about their transactions not being confirmed on time back then...



Looks more like miners are deliberately ignoring some of the transactions

Some are even empty, although their percentage has been dropping. The miners tehnically decide whether they want to include TXs.

The same story was a year and a half ago, as I wrote earlier

[ynef]

So that's the reason my transaction was stuck almost for 24 hours, the exchanger canceled the order and I started to panic (a little). Luckily it eventually confirmed and we were able to sort things out with the merchant. Oh and I did pay the recommended fee that Blockchain.info automatically adds to the transactions!

[freshman777]

You don't want to look at the average block size. What you want to look at is the median block size.

Every day there are 10 or so empty blocks, they distort the average block size chart making an impression that blocks aren't full. These empty blocks must be discarded from the data, they never include transactions. Median block size is very close to 1 MB and has been for a number of months.

This should be stickied IMO:

Blockchain.info doesn't always contain good info about the blockchain. It's been unreliable in various ways for years now.
