134k unconfirmed transactions now. I'm starting to get really worried about this

what the heck is going on?  https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

I thought i was the only few who have a delay of transaction confirmation. Its already a day ago when i sent my transaction and still i only got 0 confirmation :/ I hate miners they are manipulating again and choosing only who had better fees. Is it time to panic now? i know this is some of the hard time struggle.

transferred bitcoin from coin base to brittrex, been 6 hours, still pending... this looks scary.. huge backlog..

Like people are saying it's all out attack on Bitcoin, we all know who is up to it too if you follow the tracks. They wanted SegWit2x for a complete take over of Bitcoin now they're trying to sway away influence from the real Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash since all of their fingerprints all over that one.

OMG if this unconfirmed transaction reaches into half a million and so on

Then many people will loose confidence in bitcoin.

This is bad. we better switch to other coins. stay away from btc as of the moment

137 K unconfirmed transaction and increasing  too fast!!!

[pooya87]

Quick question, how long does it take to process a transaction with current level of unconfirmed transactions?   

it's being mined at about one block per hour, and one block handles around 2K transactions.  So with 100K  transactions backlogged, you can expect that to be about 50 hours.

if by "it" you are referring to bitcoin then you are mistaken. there are still the same 5-6 blocks per hour on average which is 1 every 10 minutes being mined. there was a gap about an hour ago which is normal and apart from that things were "near normal" meaning there are still 5-6 blocks being mined every hour like always with some drops in total daily. maybe 10-15 less out of 144.

BCH difficulty will increase 400% in less than 20 hours according to https://fork.lol/pow/retarget so miners will switch back to mining bitcoin and the memory pool will clear. If you have a stuck transaction and paid an adequate fee it should confirm soon after that.

[Dummsaus]

You mean all your BTC is frozen now? Even with all those hype transactions BCH is fast as shit.
It didnt take half an hour to have a small amount transferred from Poloniex to Bitfinex, fully confirmed and ready to go.
Though the fee still was more than I expected.

Most people are aware of the BCH pump

If you checked on the Blockchain Hashrate

We can clearly see that the Hashrate of Bitcoin from 11M is now 5.4M

More than 50% Of the Hashrate were flew to BCH hmm

Don't panic, it's just couple of groups that has special agenda on their hands. In the past we have seen more transaction spikes because some people are testing the blockchain if I remember correctly. When the BCC drama has ended, I'm pretty sure that Bitcoin is going to grow further.

Thanks for this.

All switches or transactions from BTC to BCC will add to more unconfirmed transactions.
It is nice if your BTC is in the trading platform but what if your BTC is in your wallet, how can you switch?

everyone get out from abandoned bitcoin boat , and join into bitcoin cash rocket ..

We've been there many times before. We even had over 200k pending transactions and did it even make Bitcoin crash? Significantly no. It seems that some are attacking Bitcoin's weak spot at the moment in order for some people to find an alternative. Bitcoin had overcame this struggle before and it will do it again.

2 days without confirm, maybe someone can help

That's bad.
You sent a BTC transaction 2 days ago with a fee of $5 approx. and it hasn't been confirmed yet.

We don't recall seeing something like this in the past.
Bitcoin is in big trouble.

Unconfirmed transactionsa re down to 16.000 but this is still a lot. They need to increase the block size one day before this problem damages the trust in BTC.

[gentlemand]

It's because the creators of BCH want you to abandon Bitcoin by spamming the blockchain to make it unusable. May was far higher in terms of arterial cloggage. It cleared eventually as will this too. You can do your part by tweeting a photo of your sphincter to Jihan Wu and Mr. Ver.

If the block size was increased they'd just spam it some more.

[ratiobitcoin]

is there any graph showing the number of unconfirmed transactions over time over the pasts?

[Prodigan786]

Even I have done transaction set around 10$+ transaction fees even it took more than half a day for transaction confirmation it’s really making me worry about bitcoin may The action by bcc promoter but it’s not good sign at all.

It could be other parties than "the creators of BCH", could be governments or other officials ... so many of them don't like Bitcoin so it doesn't sound like this is going to get fixed unless something major is going to happen.
