wow ,almost 30,000 unconfirmed trans

[Meuh6879]

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

why ?

if you pay the right fees from a LEGAL & LEGIT client (bitcoin core, bitcoinj with fees survey) ... you have no problem to be include in the next block.

because this programs read the fees in every blocks and indicate this in realtime before EMIT the transaction.
if you follow the rules ... no problem.

many users use fixed fees.
and they cry now.

Yeah,. This is a problem they make proper payment and if they can't give you the exact payment then it will happen something that we don't want (the transaction is rising). So if you want to get a deal that is good then you must also obey a Law that applies in the bitcoin bitcoin law, because it is much easier than with other things. All this is not a problem but it's a human error

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.

373 bytes TX size and you've included 0.0001 BTC which is equal to 10 000 Satoshis. You've included a fee of 26.8 satoshis/byte (please use this measurement in the future). The current recommended is 100 satoshis/byte.

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.

It would make sense if it were a gradual increase over a longer amount of time. The spike seems exponential considering the time-frame.

Exactly. When you read and someone says "I used the recommended fee... It is and always was X" then you know you're dealing with someone who literally never changes the fee.

Look on https://bitcoinfees.21.co for proper fees needs today. Nott yesterday, or last year or on your uncle's birthday. Today.

It is funny that my sends have been confirmed but my web wallets are not receiving them and just showing them as pending. So they are there but my wallet is not accepting them.
It is very strange indeed.

Lol that's because your web wallet is terrible. Let me guess, blockchain.info? They always have problems. Maybe it's someone new this time though haha. Try a better wallet explorer (and a better wallet).

Everyone BoyCott BTC for 24 hours because of the Ignored Transaction Problems
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1690300.new#new


 

FYI:
It was higher the 50,000 earlier today.

Yes, I have seen it that it was more than 50,000 unconfirmed transaction and keeps on adding. I am also puzzeled whether we lack miners or it is due to not exact fees per bytes that keeps them less priority.

Last time i checked every block is full so its got nothing to do with a lack of miners or low fees.

WHAT IS GOING ON. THERE ARE SO MANY UNCONFIRMED TRANSACTIONS.

ARE WE GOING TO THE MOON? IS IT HAPPENING?

I've had no problems sending Bitcoins using blockchain.info, just gotta set the fees yourself and add enough.
Biggest problem for me has been withdrawing coins from services that set a dynamic fee.

I doubt that it have something to do with mass adoption.

Maybe miners aren't confirming small fees or someone is flooding the chain, I have no ideia however mass adoption isn't an option.

Btw, price is estable.

Unconfirmed likely because someone decided to put something in way too early and everyone is using a service that's now locking up.

That or we're experiencing a spam attack on the network; something not completely out of the realm of possibility, however unlikely.

The value isn't moving right now, doubtful we're going to the moon right now.

The miners are doing everything they can, but that's clearly not enough.
Check this one:

https://btc.com/000000000000000002e4403e2babdccfe89704277ea48e1ab3ed5957cdfb1f24

That block contains 2,469 transactions (is this the new record?), and it's nearly touching the 1MB block size limit at 998,085 Bytes.

I'm still waiting for larger block sizes, or SegWit which could assuredly help on the short term, but meanwhile there is no other solution than to go for larger fees, with the risk of making BTC less popular.

Miners, and all BTC developers should understand that BTC's growth requires a growing infrastructure and includes a growing block size. Visa wasn't able to handle thousands of transactions every second some decades ago, but Visa has good managers and they anticipated the growth of the network. BTC needs to do the same. If I'm reasonable, I'd say the block size should be increased 50% each year.

[Meuh6879]

We are above 1 BTC of fees per block. 

max tx per block :
http://btc.blockr.io/block/info/440261
http://btc.blockr.io/block/info/440247
http://btc.blockr.io/block/info/440190

Only 3 blocks in 24h with less than 180kb of block.

Very good !
BIP152 work really now ...

... Roger Ver whose are on record saying that he would pay miners to push the software that he likes

Fascinating. Quote?

[jbreher]

if you pay the right fees  ... you have no problem to be include in the next block.

Do you realize that relying on the fees paid in the previous block as an indicator of fees needed for the next block is not deterministic?

And that is even if miners were not completely free to choose for themselves which transactions they will collate to mine upon.

[Meuh6879]

a block with 1,2 BTC and 1300 tx ... and a block with 3300 tx and 0,8 BTC of fees : yes, it's correct for estimate the proper fees.

and it's work since 1 year in Bitcoin Core.

[arcanaaerobics]

That's why I'm not making any transaction right now(last days)... You need a higher fee to make your transaction goes fast...

I'll just sit here and wait until the things goes back to normal. Don't you?

[ccminer.net]

74,803 Unconfirmed Transactions

I paid almost 0.0003 BTC (0,2112 EURO) as fee for a small transaction and I didn't get any confirmation since almost 3 hours already, like this ain't funny anymore

[Doms]

If this issue persists, I think more people would hesitate to make transactions nad just wait a while until some solutions are set into place. Even if the transaction fees are increased and there is still substantial delay, many would be turned off by this slow progress.

Nope, saw one by HaoBTC for 3200 transactions yesterday,

Theoretical limit is 4200 transactions per block.
