I guess this is another spam action to the Bitcoin network to make things worst. A coordinated attack syncing with the current bad news lurking around Bitcoin that made its price to plummet hard today.
I've been waiting 5 hours so far.. blows
I really don't understand why this keeps happening to people... Do you not check the fees before you send a transaction or do you just let your wallet add a fixed fee?
I would think that people would always check the fees by now, it's not the first time this has happened.
Just check on
https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ before you send any coins.
Well if it is a spam attack then they definitely intend to lower the fee so that transaction will stuck up and will appear as unconfirmed on the blockchain. This tricked had been used again and again just to at least confused people and make their trust to bitcoin waiver.
