Title says it all, but in an attempt to somewhat fill this post with content:
Just tried to move some BTC, and went on with the ~0.7mBTC recommended fee without giving it too much thought. 40 minutes later, 0 confirmations and I am surprised as I expected everything to go smooth. I checked the mempool size and we are at 30 MB.
OK, that may not sound like a lot considering we have seen 100+, but first of all, it seems to be on the rise, and none really knows when it will stop, and second, having 30 MB is, unless I am missing something, the equivalent of 5 hours of transactions, which sounds quite crazy if you ask me.
Now, anyone wants to shed light on what is going on? Are the miners going to spam the chain again? Why would they do this now? For that matter why did they stop? Did I miss some news?
