More than 50,000 unconfirmed transactions

[iCEBREAKER]

So I've finally got the in-laws on board with bitcoin.  

That was 18 hours ago, and now they think I am an idiot.

This is EPIC FAIL of marketing 101.

Still unconfirmed and I am on the ropes trying to make excuses.

Gee that's funny, somehow other people manage to use Bitcoin all the time, every day, for millions of dollars worth of commerce.

But here you are, extrapolating into some assumption of general failure your singular personal impotency to successfully spam the One True Blockchain with a trivial bit of "demonstration" dust.

You seem to be stuck in 2011, back when Bitcoin was still more of a tech demo and less of a production system.

Please join the rest of the world in 2017 and use an alt chain to demonstrate how blockchain based tx work.  Or use one of the many Bitcoin test nets.

You're not an idiot, but you were acting like one and with your over-entitled foot-stomping poutraged tone are sounding like one.

Pro Tip: Honey Badger does not GAF about your staged attempts at marketing to in-laws.

Bitcoin is working perfectly.  Your skills are "obviously just not ready for prime time."  

   WOW, great job marketing Bitcoin! It's a wonderful "production system" that's "working perfectly"! And I'm so glad you didn't insult him! /s   

   ignoring you, so don't bother trolling me.   

Too late son.  You already done got trolled, big time!

Its becoming a problem atleast for me that i do daily transactions with my bitcoins, with this delay im loosing the window to invest at the altcoin at the right moment, this delay is making me get pissed already, we need a solution for this at once, bitcoin cant keep working this way.

Until BTC core devs actually fix it ,

Check the # of unconfirmed transactions 1st
https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

If the number is over 10 thousand then all you can only do is the following:

Pay an insanely high fee
or
Use an alt like LTC or Eth instead
(Cheaper & Faster)

There are no other options.

 

Have you entertained the thought of thinking why LTC or ETH or any other altcoin are faster, and cheaper than BTC?

Have you considered why BTC is more expensive and slower?

Have you realized Paypal and VISA have more transaction capacity than cryptos?

Please think. BTC is the way it is for a reason.

Now, the chinese are treatening with attacking core with state funded money in order to stop bitcoin from growing as usual.

Funny, because current Bitcoin works fine only when more people dont try to actually use it. If you mean just the price increase, hard to use Bitcoin give the digital gold actually a meaning - decentralized pyramid scheme. Its really interesting how the pattern repeats, increased price = hard to move Bitcoins anymore because so many others trying to do the same - I guess banksters just laughing at current state of Bitcoin.

but it's only due to bitcoin being immature and incomplete, if they can fix the scale issue this problem would be removed, and people right now are not really using bitcoin they are just moving their coin here and there from exchange or to hide their profit

I am entertaining the idea that you are a Complete JackAss!

BTC is the way it is,
because the Chinese Miners /  Exchanges are manipulating the price and BTC Core is letting the Unconfirmed Transactions Pile up so they can take over with LN.

Sum it up enough for you dummy!

As far as the current BTC price ,
nothing more than a dead cat bounce, with a bunch of manipulation after the Chinese Closed all of their Margin Markets, Dufus.

Sh*t! It's happening again! We really need to increase that damned block size!

I've been waiting for more than 6 hours for a transaction to be confirmed, and I'm shocked to see there are more than 50,000 in the queue.

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

We need SegWit, or an urgent block size increase. For the sake of BTC, something needs to be done, fast!

As bitcoin rise/ dump, transaction increases. Hence, mining would take longer to process your transaction because of number of transaction need to confirmed. Better to wait, it'll be confirmed.

[Wind_FURY]

someone please let me know
bad things ended or not?
I have a small payment, and it has not been done
That's bad

The "bad things" will not end unless Segwit is activated by 95% of the miners. This is what I think could happen. Because of the extreme slowness of the network in getting transactions confirmed many people and businesses will start using and accepting the next best coins. That could either be Monero or a Segwit activated Litecoin. Bitcoin's price will go down very low due to some whales dumping. That will make the miners panic and activate Segwit. Core wins.

You people need to decide if you are free men or slaves.

If you need a service performed and their are competing coin providers available.

BTC Network saids it will cost more and take longer, and your only recourse is to Wait as long as they say wait.

The Slave meekly saids ok and waits out of fear of upsetting the BTC network.

The Free Man tells the BTC Network  to get your Shit Together if you expect me to continue doing business with you.
And while the BTC network is unable to meets the requirements , that his business requires , he will use another coin that meets those requirements until they do.

So the only real question left is which are you ?

Free Man  or  Slave  ?

The network spammers are back. Over 50,000 unconfirmed transactions again. I should have checked the mempool before sending some coins. Does anyone have a clue who or what is happening? Could the spammers be on the side of the big blockers or core? I can see people from both sides arguing that it is caused by one with the opposing group.

[NattyLiteCoin]

I've been waiting 2.5 hours for four separate transactions. When I had checked it an hour or so ago, it was between 74-76K unconfirmed.

Indeed, we need bigger block size. How desperate to wait just a few/big transaction to be confirmed. Amazingly 59084 unconfirmed transaction, last time I check. I know that blockchain wallet has been in trouble this week which need more than 13 hours to process.
Whatever it is, we need more, blockchain cannot just the way it is now to adjust increasing transaction right now.

so far i thought you were just trolling or were advertising altcoins in general but with the recent price rise to above $1050-$1070 and the fact that you started talking more about price and using terms like "dead cat bounce" i am sure you sold your coins at last dip, possibly at 750-800 thinking bitcoin is dead

Did you decipher Tatamis Hookason?

This is the Chinese Cashing Out before the Price Drop.

Longer you wait to do the same , the more capital you will lose.  


 

What makes you think the price will drop? We can see big volumes no small down tick it's an indicator that whales buying furtively. 
Bitcoin makes x3 by summer 2017 

Yeah, who cares about this price drop that you are talking about. It is normal to bitcoin, its price is always fluctuating, but this year, it is different because it just drop on $830 and I think it will be stable on $900-$1000 which is a good news to all of the bitcoin users because they will get a huge profit from it.

And you will not lose any of your capital if you will patiently wait until its price gets high again if it fell on a low price. Patience is a virtue pal, there is no one that would convert his bitcoin into fiat if he knows that the price is too low.

As bitcoin is becoming successful day by day ,
The number of people using bitcoin is increasing tremendously
This is leading to the sites having a lot of load.
So many transactions together crash the site.
But I can assure you that all the transactions will once be confirmed.
I use bitcoin on a regular bases.
I just pay more fees for transactions to take place quickly.

I do not think that paying more than the fee will speed up unconfirmed transactions. may now occur some problems in blockchain thus causing a delay confirmation. Well, it might be a natural thing, because at this time, bitcoin enthusiasts really multiply.

Do you really believe that bitcoin users have tremendously increased last two weeks? And what is the site which will crash? And you assure other users that their transactions will be confirmed? Can you clarify when? After a day, or two because after 72 hours the mempool will drop the unconfirmed transactions. I can't believe that last weeks so many people suddenly they loved bitcoin and as dedicated users they do everyday so many transactions. Obviously is a spam attack again; but I really cannot understand what the attackers believe eventually that they will succeed.
