WOW!!! New Record 200622 Unconfirmed Transactions

[Nevis]

Bitcoin is broken, don't know why people still use it when there is a plenty of better alternative 

Bitcoins here in this thread and this situation is not broken at all,its the network manager who is,bitcoins is just undergoing blockchains services because of transaction,its the blockchain who is broken at this time and not bitcoin at all.Besides this lots of unconfirmed transaction is mostly caused by spam attacks in the network

That Teethow is a newbie with one post so I don't know if he's paid or ask to do this kind if thing like degrading the morale of the Bitcoin community and we can't exactly pinpoint as to who would really benefit from this.

Bitcoin has been in the online world for a long time and faced myriad of attacks in the past so this one is just one of those. Now that the Bitcoin has gained its momentum in rising in much higher ground so the developers would not just sit around idly and just quarrel over because Bitcoin's sake is their common denominator so if they fail in fixing this then they will lose greatly also. Let's just look forward that this problem will be solved anytime soon.

come back to this comment after some time has passed.
lets say 6 months to a year and by then you will get a very clear answer to "WHY".

Please enlighten us oh wise one!

in what world a centralized, pre-mined, pump and dump, buggy, in some case bloated, insecure altcoin is better than bitcoin?
maybe next time you make a throwaway account, make sure to also give us some example

I can't speak for him, but for myself...

Is LTC a bloated, insecure, premined coin?

What about NXS?

Really a very fantastic number of 200622 transactions not confirmed, What happens to blockchain ??
Yesterday my transaction also failed, and I really need money.

All the merchants that accept bitcoin are not going to wake up and just start taking Litecoin or any other coin. They would probably just watch for a while before making any decision.

Exactly, in fact there are many altcoins out there which better than bitcoin as a payment system i don't know why maybe less popular or something. Well i usually top up my mobile phone  using bitcoin about 2 dollars or so but now not anymore due to the confirmation time is very slow and high fee also i don't wanna be a burden to the blockchain. So for this reason i think we shoud not making small transaction cause bitcoin isn't suited for doing so. I hope this scaling issue will be fixed soon.

The community need to do some big changes to handles this transactions.
This can't be happening, this could mean a possible "death" to Bitcoin if they don't fix this shit.

I hope people stop this war between BU and Segwit and start solving those problems.

This is the fun part in a decentralized system: there is no "they" that can fix it.   We're not used to think that way, without a big boss to whom to complain.
There is no big boss any more.

This is an unresolved complaint because it will make the transaction becomes slow and eventually make us bored to wait. the problem of confirmation must be immediately resolved because users will continue to grow.

Bitcoin unconfirmed transactions maybe the reason why we needed to switch with other coins, Because in my experience some transactions are taking days to be delivered in my wallet so in that case I switch into the ETH because the transaction there is faster than bitcoin but of course when I am withdrawing money I am using bitcoin.

Using altcoins for paying and get paid is the solution I am also into it, but it must be temporary, finally I too need to go back to bitcoins for cashing out. When cash out, I need to pay around $5 worth of bitcoins for network fee which is really not a affordable amount for me. I already started losing profits due to this big head ache.

Xapo wallets also started to charge users for sending out transactions so it is really hard time for the people who are depending on bitcoins for daily transactions. I wish scalability issue to be solved immediately so that we can prevent unconfirmed transactions to hit another record of 300k or 400k.

You can use any other currency, however, bitcoin is still widely used although it is slow. You just look at one side, you only see that the bitcoin is slowing, but in fact it is faster than all the other coins. It has to bear a huge trading volume that no other currency is facing.

guys , one guy scammed me with double spend transaction .is there any chance for getting it confirmed?

[DoublerHunter]

This is such a disappointment for bitcoin and this kind of problem might drag bitcoin down and make other people in panic and make their mind set that bitcoin is not a reliable currency and eventually sell their coin and get out from bitcoin. If this problem will not be fixed and let say that the unconfirmed reached up to 500k then it will be a very big deal and people will start to get out from bitcoin. Good luck to the team and i hope that they will fix this soon.

Now they have problem to get out becouse coins sucked on chain forever. (2 weeks)
If miners/devs won't solve problem it will CRASH BTC HARD to sub 1000$ : ), who will buy such shit coin ?
Dominance is falling below 50% give alts more time and we will welcome new king soon.
I hope they will get some solution soon.

Always been a Bitcoin fan but today I'm really, really pissed   It's my sister's birthday and she wanted Sims 4 so I paid for a key on Kinguin fucking three days ago! And the transaction is still stuck.

What's worse, I paid the recommended fee that blockchain.info automatically adds and normally my payments go through within 5-10 minutes when I pay the recommended fees. I just ended up paying for ANOTHER key using good old PayPal.

Same with my a-ads advertisement campaign. The funds are just stuck for days. Meh.

Right now its a tug of war going on between Core/Segwit and WU&Ver/Unlimited. It is not going to be settled till one of those sides accept defeat and retreat and it will only harm bitcoin while these are happening.

When Unconfirmed transactions become 500k and bitcoin unusable, both sides will have a huge loss.

It is no brainer to say WU/Bitmain will be the ones who take the biggest loss out of this mess. If they insist on BU, the whole bitcoin business will be destroyed along with bitmain. Before this happens however, they will tuck tails between their legs and accept segwit.

It is because core devs don't own thousands of miners, they don't have investments in that business. All they do is developing.

Just wait until the unconfirmed transactions double from their current amount and the recommended fee is the equivalent 20$ per transaction and no one will be laughing, except maybe altcoiners.

205600+ unconfirmed transactions right now and it looks like increasing. I dont think people will ever leave BTC for this purpose as the value of BTC is too high for that. People need BTC to trade with all the altcoins so it is near to impossible.

Could be a last ditch effort by BU to spam and confuse now that the writing is on the wall.

your first mistake is using a web wallet and worst of all you are using a buggy web wallet.
blockchain.info is suggesting the same fixed fee as it was a week or a month ago irregardless of the current appropriate fee.

your other mistake is not doing a research when using bitcoin. it is not like a bank to run to them with any problem. with bitcoin you are the owner of your own money and fully responsible for it. so you need to learn a couple of "how tos" such as knowing how fees change. and what wallet is a proper wallet with no bugs like what blockchain.info has.
