Why is ethereum so slow?

[Beicin]

While the network is clogged, try increasing your gas limits and gas price for your transactions to go through faster. We just have to sit and wait while the devs (both from ethereum and bitcoin) come up with good scaling solutions for blockchains. Its definitely our biggest challenge right now.

It can not be said that the network has become slow. Many of the miners stopped supporting transactions with low gas prices. When playing a game with cats will become expensive, the cost of transactions should decrease. I'm sure that everything will be better in the next two weeks.

according to me ethereum is not slow but are moving very fast as compare to other altcoins while if you are comparing with bitcoin then i want to say that bitcoin is a very big coin and get a very high number of customers in the world and also have more age then ethereum while ethereum need too much time to get such a big value in market like bitcoin.

Network is clogged with transactions due to Cryptokittties.

[myhoho]

Kitties are playing inside of the network. Don't worry they will escape to forest soon.
This madness can not stay longer then few months. This is really a stupid game and i neve understand whats the reason people buying those kitties.

[kolbalish]

In my opinion, because of some transactional problem, their network has become slow.For this reason, we can't deposit our coin.It's very painful.

[Onestepinhell]

As my old friend says, everything has its time)
So the guys are waiting and believing.
I think that soon everything will be clear. And the ethereum will soar into space

[Javanewstar]

After all, ETH ushered in a new era, the age of smart contracts, but in relative terms, the rate of processing per second is a bit low.

anyone know when ethereum is going to normal again, i try to up gas to 40, 60 gwei its same still pending or cancel i dont know?

Cryptokittes game will load ethereum network. But this can not last so long. Will wait!

 I think it have news for that and they going to fix the problem about the etherium network.
 I have some altcoins need to transfer so as of now im just need to wait sometime and must better to fix the network early.

Like I said before. This insane. How do they plan to attract the masses, if a kitty game can overload the system?
I hope that more people start asking questions and rather invest their money in future proof coins.
There are altcoins whose network is able to handle a billion transactions simultaneously and this for only a fraction of a cent!! I hope that these coins will have bright future ahead.

How is it possible for things like this to happen for the nr 2 coin after bitcoin with such a big community and marketcap.

[kiky03]

yeah now 5 day ethreum transaction is still slow maybe this problem will fixed soon.
it happen because crypto kittes make overload ethereum network.

[jakaKak]

Because cryptokittes are invading eth network and slowing it down. That is quite sad if you think about it.

[qazgroup]

It was slow due to network congestion but now seems to have recovered a bit as many people are reporting quick transactions, I think eth team should resolve the congestion issue once and for all.

Probably the Ethereum network was never designed to handle such loads. Of course they will try to fix it, but the future lies in certain coins which were designed to handle billions of transactions in less than a second for a fraction of a dollar cent. How else would they want to attract the world's masses into crypto. With coins where every transaction takes days and cot a couple of dollars, versus simultaneously and a fraction of a cent?

I am doing trades on ehterdelta where the default gas price is 4 Gwei. The network in the last few days is terribly slow I remember 1 week ago I was making trades on 1 Gwei and even 0.1 and the transactions were done within minutes, now with 4 Gwei I have to wait like 20 minutes and sometimes the transactions get canceled. My question is what is the reason for this? Is it temporary or it will be like this for the near future?

I do not exactly know what is the main reason why ethereum are very slow. I think that the people are not that crazy to invest on ethereum that big just like bitcoins unlike bitcoins the people who are investing on them are very huge. Ethereum prices are just are on stable not growing up and not going down or either slowly growing up and slowly growing down. At least that they have some stable consumers that are holding their coins for a long term investment but i think that if more people are investing in this the value will also rise just like bitcoins and will pump as quickly as bitcoins

Kitty game is the main reason but the problem they don't make any announcement yet. They have to inform the community so that we know when this nightmare will end. We're paying 30x more fee at the moment compared to past.

Maybe your connection is slow so maybe that will be the problem? I Don't have any problem with ethereum. Or maybe you have exchange a token that is hard to convert. You must need to be patient also for you to get succeeded on your transaction, just  do your transaction again if they get cancelled your request.

[sukoyomi]

It is true that everyone has the same complaints as you. it looks like eth should fix its system again, because I think the cause is too many people are currently doing transactions on eth. so make our transactions slow.
