Scaling issues

[virtualkeybuyer]

Wtf confirmation times are becoming stupid, over an hour ago I sent a transaction with a 389.341 sat/B fee and it's still unconfirmed. Unfortunately bitcoin isn't ready for prime time.

Why are you being so panic? Nothing can be confirmed in an hour it can take time and in this case confirmation can take up to 15 hours. I also used to panic in these types of situations but as time passes we learn from mistakes and I have learnt how to keep patience. Well it will take time just wait for it. Nothing to worry about. If it takes more than day then you should be worried not so early.

Wait until the activation of segwit2x/lighting network on bitcoin's network maybe it will fix scaling issues on bitcoins
and maybe it will makes time of confirmation will be more fast than now,
only wait the segwit2x/lighting network our hope to fixing scaling issues on bitcoins because the comunity has choose this desicions and solution to be bitcoins more better in the future.

The activation segwit2x has done, we don't wait for it just check SegWit2x status update and wait for the effect of segwit2x on bitcoins network, i think the segwit2x is still not stable on bitcoins network please check status update on this link below in English and Chinese

Is this an attempt by mining pools such as AntPool to sabotage the 2MB block size increment which is due in November? A few weeks back, AntPool had no issues in including the low-fee transactions in the blocks which they mined. Then what is their problem now?

a few weeks ago the mempool was empty, there was barely enough transactions to fill one block and blocks were being mined normally and on time.
now there was a period of delay in finding blocks and then there was a big surge in transactions, probably even some spam attacks in there too.

The other users has same problem with you too, Bitcoin Fees Reach $8 Post Segwit Activation https://t.co/j1D5LJgl4s
It is bad for bitcoins the segwit activation on bitcoins network was doesn't worked,
I still can't believe that the BTC price is near its all-time highs. Maybe market ignores payments, sees BTC good enough for wealth storage or maybe  Bitcoin is an ICO at NYC FinTech.
