Egad. 81,000 + Transactions Unconfirmed. Again. Ugh!

[Zadicar]

Never pay a higher fee man it never fixes anything you just give them extra money actually. Well in a case like this anyway. I do agree they do need to get their stuff together Bitcoin is becoming quite a thing in the world so yeah needs to be faster but also I'm sure Bitcoin never meant to get this far or maybe they did and if they did it would be more confusing as to why they let it get to that kind of number.

Its not really a good advice at all but you do still have some points because even you put up high tx fee as of now confirmation times wont really be the same as usual and  you will still need to wait a little longer compared before but still im doing that behavior.

[wisqo]

We are looking at close to 100,000 unconfirmed at this point, these are crazy numbers!

This is a good way of resuming my thinking !

[Wind_FURY]

What about Bitcoin 2.0 ?

I mean tons of new fintech unsing the Bitcoin blockchain for implementing new services and new ways of doing things.. Imo THIS is the real revolution that gives value to BTC (fiat value/adoption/replacing old tech).

I will still be a BTC node, whatever diskspace it may cost me, and I know it's not true for everyone.

IMO, Bitcoin is a revolution as big as the event of the Internet, and I trust the community, especially those not doing it for profit, to lead BTC.

Have a nice life everyone !

p.s. I'm not really aware about SegWit or BU..  I left BTC news/reading for about 2 years for now..  I still often buy some with extra money


 

It is hard to believe you are not aware of what is going on with the present issues concerning Segwit and Bitcoin Unlimited. As a Bitcoin node operator and a supporter you should make it your responsibility to have your say. You are an active part of the network.

Now that you are aware, are you for Segwit or BU?

With the price of bitcoin rising we are seeing the amount of unconfirmed transaction piling up at the moment i think this is the worst thing that is with bitcoin. The core developers are not making any changes with the increased usage and if it continues like this it will hurt bitcoin without any doubt.

Please stop posting in the forum then search for the threads about the scaling debate of Bitcoin. For your information the Core developers have released an upgrade with Segwit that allows more transactions to be allowed in a block. But for this to happen the miners must upgrade to v 0.13.2 to activate Segwit. It is now in the miners hands and not the Core developers.

Hmm,
unless you have not been paying attention the miners are refusing to allow the BTC core dev to STEAL their future transaction fees.

So segwit has been dead ever since it was offered, so the ball is back in BTC Core Hands ,

BTC Core can Update the Blasted BlockSize and move on, or we all agree BTC Core should be FIRED.
Because they are not doing shit to fix the transactions issues.

 

[jonald_fyookball]

I dont get why they just dont make block size 5MB or something now?

HD's have gone up since 2013 x3 or 5 in size, and cost about the same?

Satoshi had 33Mb blocks.

1MB is 1984 much.


why why why?

I mean this thing is supposed to run on fees from blocks,

I know the spam issue, but some spam is ok

Because the core team are selfish greedy pigs and think you are stupid as they try to ram their agenda down your throat instead of simply increasing the block size.

Their intentions are very questionable. There is a chance that they are trying to obstruct the popular adoption of Bitcoin by arguing against the Block size increase. In future, if the Block size remains at 1 MB, then there will be huge delays in confirming the transactions. So obviously people will dump Bitcoin and move to some other crypto-currency. Perhaps that is what these people want.

Jeezus you monkeys even hear what you are chirping? People (world's top cryptographers) who spent many years developing bitcoin software did it only to kill said software and promote "some other crypto-currency". No wonder Ver can use your mouth holes to his advantage, with reasoning skills of a 3 year old. To you life must seem so simple, why even read something about bitcoin if you can talk talk talk.

Everybody knows that there are absolutely no obstacles to raising block size indefinitely right? I mean, Ver and three trolls have said that so it must be true.

Hey Dufus,

BU will only raise the block size to the point the network can handle it.

Core could have came out with a fixed minuscule 2mb block size hard fork and the miners would have updated to relieve the current transaction problems.
Instead Core goes silent and does absolutely nothing , trying to force segwit down everyone throats.
Core is trying to steal the future fees from the miners, they are not dumb enough to fall for Core Takeover bid.

Core needs to be fired and an entire new dev team brought in , ones that don't work for Bankers trying to take over BTC with LN.

Hello my little friend with an unjustified sense of entitlement, I am just glad you are not in charge of firing anything other than your own poop rockets. But I could enjoy taking a look at your "entire new dev team", it must be a real show of talent, that one. Meanwhile you are free to continue moaning on this board while bitcoin is evolving. Good luck with your pointless agenda.

PS Bonus point if you manage to read the definition of opensource, look for a special section "how would a forum troll go about firing a dev team in a 15b opensource project", could be an eye-opener.

You are promoting a classic 'false dilemma' fallacy, implying that the only alternative to keeping the blocksize constant is to 'raise it indefinitely'.

No..how about we just go to 2mb so people's transactions can get through?  Instead of having 40k unconfirmed transactions.

[Daniel91]

I really don't know what is going on but very long waiting time for BTC transactions confirmation really creating serious problems.
I remember that just a few months ago all my transaction was confirmed in a few hours.
Recently, I usually have to wait for more than 24 hours.
Bitcoin is still the most popular crypto currency but if we can't solve problem with unconfirmed transactions, I'm sure that more people will give up from bitcoin and choose other crypto currency.

If you are willing to pay a higher than average transaction fee, then you can expect your transaction to get confirmed in a couple of hours. But the question is whether we need to prioritize such transactions over other pending ones, some of which are in queue for two or three days now. This is going to get worse in the future, as the number of transactions increase. We need to act now.

Are you really just that stupid , or did someone teach you from birth to be a BTC Core ASS Kisser. 

Just curious, my stupid friend.

Boom and there it is!

BTC Core Cares for Nothing except their own Agenda.
In the Real World, we would have hired new devs last year and been done with their segwit shenanigans.

Has there ever been an instance where people weren't looking out solely for their own agendas and were instead operating for the good of the rest of the users? 

I agree that if we had a system that operated more with the ability to throw bad devs out we likely would have gotten somewhere sooner, but that's what happens when you have decentralization.

This is exactly why it doesn't make sense to have a maximum blocksize at all , as part of the consensus rules.

You guys act like it would be hard , all that has to happen is the Miners sponsor a Dev Team not affiliated with Blockchain's Sponsored BTC Core Dev team.
The New Dev team writes a quick 2mb blocksize update, the miners update , and then their is time for discussions on future updates, when BTC unconfirmed transactions are not taking 3 days to complete.

Old Saying , when the Mule is stuck in a Ditch on Sunday , you don't wait til Monday to get him out.
BTC Core Asshats are doing nothing but waiting!
