More than 50,000 unconfirmed transactions

[Variogam]

Is there any website or application which order all transactions from the backlog by the fee/KB and show where is my transaction? This could give me some information how long more I need to wait for confirmation, or how the situation changes over time so I can act accordingly.

I have one transaction unconfirmed for 24+ hours and I try solution that was mentioned here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1762912.0
After some 2 hours my transaction is confirmed.You can submit your TXID for free  https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

It's always bad when things like this happen,and certainly is not in favor of Bitcoin as currency.I hope some solution that will satisfy users and miners will be found as soon as possible.

And now it increased 61k, My transaction is also un-confirmed from 12 hours and i'm waiting for it to get confirmed.

Did you pay the correct fee? which is now an average of 27k satoshi, 120 satoshi per byte, the previous one was 20k satoshi, i suppose it's now higher because there are more pending transactions

I guess the person who sent me the money has paid 0.0002 for a transaction of 300 bytes which is actually low around some satoshis so I'm hoping that my transactions get confirmed soon.

You can get information for the bitcoin transactions and hashes at blockchain.info. This site will give you details of every transactions and also show you if it will be completed with high, medium or low priority, depending upon the fee you paid.

Not only bitcoin is under attack but forums is as well because it took me 15 minutes to post here after 5 errors encountered.
I wonder what happens if there are millions of transactions in near future? is segwit a long term solution?

Thanks for info. I used for it for a long time, but I changed when the blockchain passed over 50 Go.
I'm now with Electrum, which has a feature to tell when the confirmation time will be, but only after a transaction is signed. It says 25 blocks for my last transaction. Not very useful...

Using core with a pruned blockchain it can be as small as 550MB. There is no need to have the whole 120GB to still derive the benefits of using the core client.

Indeed that is a crazy amount of unconfirmed transactions.
It has been happening for a long time now, and it really is annoying!
I have no idea what we can do to fix it but we need to act as fast as possible!

The Only Fast Fix is for everyone to USE ALTs like LTC or others until the unconfirmed transactions decrease to below 10,000.
If enough people did this , BTC would be back at normal speed in a few hours.

Long Term , BTC Block Size has to be increased, until this happens BTC will always congest and fail.
Odds are it will be a year or more before BTC Core Devs gets their heads out of their asses and get it done.

Short Term: Alts like LTC are the only Fast Fix.

 


FYI:
If you look at the BTC Block Explorer you can see the Chinese Mining Pools are generating Blocks with only 1 transaction.
It looks like they are intentionally causing the backlog to keep their fee prices higher.

https://blockchain.info/
unconfirmed transactions will get alot higher if they keep doing this,   
Height    Transactions     Relayed By    Size (kB
449723          1                BTCC Pool       0.27
449838          1                F2Pool            0.27

This will keep happening one over another time, until a solution will be found to handle the situation, this had happened already twice on the last 6 monthts if im not wrong, are this signals that bitcoin must upgrade to handle this question, that is becoming a problem. This delay does damage crypto world in general, soo its time to do something about it.

If what they receive in increased fees is more than the cost to spam the network, then it will probably continue.

The blocksize increase but at least if the spam transaction just like the big waves and it can't prevent it with more efficient.
What will you do dude? You can't do anything rather than waiting for your transaction until the next week or days.

[countryfree]

Then try http://bitcoinfees.21.co/, it's very accurate and have lots of detailed information.

Thanks for that link.
 
I'm afraid this is now needed. It will make BTC less convenient, but from now on, before making any transaction, we will have to check the state of the network, and pay a higher fee if needed. This is really bad news. We will now have fees going up or down with the time of the day, the day of the week, or a sales period, whereas SEPA transfers are free for most Europeans like me.

Some good news, though, my transaction finally went through after 26 hours. More than a day! BTC needs to be much improved if it wants to be successful.

He was paying the correct fees before the spam transactions were happening. more and more spam transaction fee will make deprioritize on your transaction. It has needed more time to gone.
Caused by the spam transaction the system will increase the fees without any attention.

I can see here I'm not the only one waiting more than A DAY for a transactions goes thru!

This is one of weakness bitcoin, confirmation very much and varied. I think it should be addressed as will be a waste of resources. What the function of the confirmation very much? I am sure there is no benefits, because if you already send fact can not be canceled.

[Huge Black Woman]

Blam it, I gots money stuck up in the blockchain, too!  I fooled aroun' wit tha damn miners' fee an' I thank I set it way too low.  My thing been stuck fo' goin on 12 hours now.  It's too bad y'all cain't up da fee when you mess up...but Imma fool fo' messin' up in the first place.  Ah assume that's whut the prollem is, but they ain't no way ta tell thet I know of.

I agree. However, we still need to support Bitcoin if you ever want other cryptos to be accepted. I really do not know why we have this problems for many times in the last year. SEGWIT is needed right now. SEGWIT will save us and also save Bitcoin

Prevent the double spend, reaching your legality because every transaction has got validated by miner. You must read more about that.

just let people like this wander around and finally out the door.  it is that kind of complete clueless spekaing that hurts the community.  they are not just ignorant, they refuse to learn and that is where the problem starts.

It was 57k unconfirmed transactions about 15 mins back and I thought it was getting better since everyone is posting about it being over 70k. Now, it is going back up. Crossed 60k unconfirmed transactions. Ive been waiting for about 18 hrs for my transaction to get confirmed. Hoping that happens in a couple of hours. It really sucks that it is taking soo long. Hopefully this will pass soon.
