wow ,almost 30,000 unconfirmed trans

[darklus123]

Does it gives that reasonable doubt about those speculation before that thse 50% of the mining power is on the centralized area?(you know what i already mean lol i just dont want to point out)

 Could it be the massive control of the said mining power on a single area?
Experts do talk about it

The blocks are almost never full. Below is the average block size chart

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 remains to be seen

If we have 24x6=144 blocks mined daily (a new block every 10 minutes on average), of which 134 blocks are full (1) and 10 blocks are empty (0), then we should have had an arithmetic average of the fill-up ratio at around (134*1+10*0)/144=0.93. As you can see from the chart, there were only 5 such days during the last month, while the average ratio for the whole month is still somewhere around 0.8 (with ~0.6 being the lowest value). That pretty much proves that the blocks are far from being full even if we count only filled blocks (with more than one transaction)

60k+ unconfirmed transactions currently and still rising. Hope Issue gets solved soon.....

[prabowo96]

30.000?

I'm seeing 62.000 and going up...

What is this? Big miners aren't processing transactions with small fees?

That's a big challange the the coin!

[lollolloll]

60,000  now ,

any higher history?

[NorrisK]

Unfortunately this happens at times. Let's hope they are simply a large amount of spam transactions and not the mining pools trying to force higher fees by not including transactions into their blocks..

If the latter is the case, they are actually harming their business in the long run, which is very short sighted imo.

These signature spammers are really obvious here. You do not need to constantly post updates. Anyone can find this information on several websites (including blockchain.info).

Hope Issue gets solved soon.....

There is no permanent solution. Adopting Segwit would give the network short term 'relief'.

Can i buy an Antminer S9, and manually set it to confirm my transaction??

You can. It would be both quicker and cheaper to pay a higher fee though.

I am the receiver of the transaction. The sender was the one that put the low fee.
Unfortuantly I gave him fiat before the transaction was confirmed.

Is it perhaps possible to ask someone with an antminer to verify the transaction? I'll give some extra btc for the effort

[veleten]

second day in a row almost same amount of unconfirmed tx
60.000 ish and staying this way
now if you want to transfer,fee is ridiculous
if you send with regular,chances are you play this special miner's lottery and prepare to wait for hours

One important thing you could do is to keep a copy of the raw transaction, and re-broadcast the hell out of it for as long as possible. Another is to contact people that have access to mining pools, they can get it included in one of their blocks (likely for a fee). Bitcointalk members Quickseller and macbook-air are often described as people in that position, but I don't know that for a fact.

It seems there is a spam attack going, what they do is send massive amounts of useless transactions to boat the blockchain in order to push a certain agenda, probably backed up by millionaires like Roger Ver whose are on record saying that he would pay miners to push the software that he likes, sad to see. Too bad he is just burning money since Core remains the better software and will not lose.

It's frustrating now. My transaction of just 373 bytes is pending for over 24 hours with a fee of 0.0001 BTC. Usually it takes less than an hour to get confirmed but the network seems like dead now and no transaction is getting confirmed. I thought that the problem is that my fee is small but even other transactions are pending.

False. The network is not dead and transactions are processing in similar quantities as usually. Your fee is too low. If I am correct, your TX has a fee that is at least 2 times lower than recommended.

The recommended fee was about 0.00012-0.00014 and I entered a fee of 0.0001. All my transactions with a higher value of BTC got confirmed earlier but this is still pending.

[Carlton Banks]

Really??? Bitcoin has fallen that low?? What a shame.

Lol, sometimes sarcasm does come across on the internet, huh?

[Carlton Banks]

I'm not sure if "attack" or "cartel" are appropriate descriptions. The current transaction peak could easily be natural demand, I've not seen anyone present evidence that it's either malign or benign.

I do feel the pain on this though, I found myself working out what percentage of my transaction the fee represented earlier (and when it turned out to be slightly less than 0.1% of the transaction, I relaxed again)

65 000 tx in queue ?!?
