Bitcoin Blackout - No transactions on Christmas Eve!

[coinsocieties]

Its sounds funny but if we all can make this blockchain can take a rest for a short period of time. But the question is we are not the only one who are using bitcoin in this furom there are a lots of people who are always using bitcoin outside in this furom. I think they are the one who always making sending bitcoin transaction.

I just tweeted this tweet:

#BoycottBTC  Guys, #Bitcointalk how about we all just stop sending #Bitcoin anywhere?  The transaction fees are too high, and too many, let's #BoycottBitcoin  and just #HODL.  #BTC #cryptocrash #cryptocurrency

Would be good if all of us started tweeting something like that xD Let's make some noise!

[TIDOVEE]

I think it's because of congested transactions on the blockchain, it could be annoying sometimes though, but we hope to have a change for the better soon.

yes true, the transaction is not only done by this forum community but the whole world who know and have bitcoin. it seems to be difficult to do, too many transactions that I think is not fair. bitcoin is out of control, especially with the current price, everyone has the right to hold or discard it.

Sounds interesting, bitcoin network is too congested. Give it a holiday! :-)

[traderethereum]

I think maybe we have to see a big delay of the transaction in this few day later because until now the transaction is getting bigger and waiting for the confirmations. I agree that the network needs to refresh a day or two and after that, I hope the network can run smooth and the transactions don't need to wait for a long time to get confirmed.

Not feasible.   My income is mostly automated.   It costs too much to shutdown and restart.

Yeah, we can make it take a rest and then what?
Are we going to turn into some communist country with monthly ratios os gasoline and cars driving on certain days based on their number plates?

Even if we do stop making transactions right now the numbers in the mempool will drop.
It's Christmas, two weekends, New Years Eve, the numbers are even now dropping from 280k to 240k.

But what after it?
Once activity returns to normal what will a boycott do? Other than hurting trust in the coin.

A lot of people is in need of money right now because of christmas season so I don't think bitcoin transaction can be prohibited though I feel the grudge of those people experiencing unconfirmed transactions we still cannot ask everyone to do something in favor of you the best thing is find a good way to solve your issues and continue hoping bitcoin will soon get better

[mk4]

I have mixed feelings about this. Sure I want the blockchain to calm down a bit, but I don't think a sort of "Earth Hour" solution is the best way to address this. Soon what, we need to do this every week? I'd like this attempt to be successful though, just for the curiosity if it would actually work out or not.

Currently we have 235,635 Unconfirmed Transactions[1] though, still a lot, but a lot better than the recent 280,000. Hopefully it comes down more.

Why are you all trying to use bitcoin like money? Bitcoin is for profit, like an investment. If you make a few thousand on your investment you pay a “brokerage” fee (exchange fee, transaction fee) to sell it. Big fucking deal! Stop trying to use bitcoin to buy shit! Hold it until you’re ready to sell and make your profit.

Stop bitching about transaction fees and delays. Google wallet is free and fast. Go use that to buy shit instead of bitcoin.

You can't stop people sending their btc from wallet to another. What if they badly need the btc and they are something need to pay for? You must need to convince more miners in order to help and confirm the pending transaction in bitcoin network This is a big help. instead of promoting a cancellation of all transaction in bitcoin blockchain.

[Bob-Bit]

Alright, here's a suggestion that can help without cramping peoples style too much. If you move some money over to Coinbase or something like that, and have it linked to their visa card, you can spend as much as you want any time you want, and the transactions take place off the blockchain. They pay out Visa in big mass payments, which consolidates the transactions. I know people don't like the whole "soft" wallet thing, but think of it a different way, more like your buying prepaid Bitcoin Visa cards that can be recharged.

[criz2fer]

We can't just yell on our closet to stop people sending bitcoin. You can do it alone and stop sending for now to avoid high fees but we don't know if this will stay for long or it will be solved in due time. I'm neutral on this thing and it's better to be calm and watch the market play and it's sick to see the unconfirmed transactions increases.

Yeah calm is the answer of this crowding of full transactions today. Many of the bitcoin holders today are affected by the FUD happening specially the promotion of this BCH is the true Bitcoin. Hope the storm will settle soon because the transaction was too high.

[Anti-Cen]

Yes i will join your boycott but yesterday I had to pay an extortion fee of $25 to move coins from
Coinbase to my Jaxx wallet to ensure that I get in on the Segwit2x fork on the 28th of December
that seems to be hidden in the news we get feed to us.

It might be a scam, well hot air but it would be good if the fork was real and the price of X2B
was going up when i looked so who knows.

if you like high fees and poor exchange rates then use Coinbase but expect "Technical errors" if the price
of BTC is moving fast and to wait ten days using SEPA to move money from Coinbase and back to your own
bank account.

You also risk not being paid out on forks or having to wait to access the money because like
you say " transactions take place off the blockchain "

Did I tell you how they scammed me out of $10 ? Well never mind, many others are telling the same story

[Jet Cash]

Easy solution - start a mining pool, and give members priority for their transactions.

That's why I said to think of it as a "prepaid Bitcoin Visa card" not as a normal wallet, or a marketplace to buy or sell. Don't use it as an exchange, just a payment processor. I can use my Shift card anywhere Visa is accepted anytime I want. No minimum, no waiting for transactions, no fees on the transactions. I mine, so I just point my pool to pay out to the Coinbase account till there's $500 or so there, then point it back to my regular wallet when it's "charged". No fees. Did I mention NO FEES? I'm working on setting up a Bitpay card right now as well, (Visa also) but I'm not an expert on that yet. My idea is to have equal amounts on both the Shift and the Bitpay cards, and if I go to buy something, (larger purchase, not for an egg Mcmuffin and a coffee) I'll take a quick look at which one has the higher exchange rate at the moment, and use that one. Just trying to share with you all what I do to stay ahead of the game.
