Why Ethereum so slow

[Mevz]

Yeah as always, because of the numbers of transactions every hour on the ethereum blockchain. Just expect it would be more worst to us to make transactions on this following years so many platforms always using ethereum. Even on the exchanges the transactions are all affected its a very big problem on all of us. Gas fee's are eating all our profits when we start to do trades everytime.

The transfer is faster when you have enough gas in your wallet. Most people that complain of slow transaction do not have enough gas.

Every time the more platform are interested in using ethereum blockchain as the main blockchain. But don't worry it's just the matter of time until sharding blockchain will be implemented and that's all.

Plasma and another improvement in the future will be supporting ethereum to be the blockchain with the best scalability ever.

I think the demand for ETH is increasing and this makes all ETH transactions slower. For me this will soon be fixed because the ETH platform is very suitable for paying for future and I am sure ETH can replace Bitcoin.

The more marketcap a currency has, the slower (rather more stable) its movements in price.

Is this all about the kitties ?  then I think the coin is week and can't handle real life uses.

Better to develop it more.

While they do have issues they are currently working on upgrading the network to make it more secure and faster in the future. Casper is being implemented and once it gets rolled out I believe the network will be much more secure than currently. Also POS won't hurt and I think will make ETH remain number two on the coinmarket list.

There was a huge spike in the fees in the last 10 days, but also a huge drop in the last couple of days. I think the fees will get back to normal soon, but not the the level they were before as the network becomes more and more busy. I think that the upcoming upgrade with the POS will solve those problems though.

Hello community,
Some days ago I observed that eth network feels badly ))). The TX cost rised to the moon. So, to get faster tx I should put 60-80 gwei for it. Maybe somebody can explain what the f* is going on there? Kitties, fishies or maybe china miners are closed their factories. Any ideas?

Like others on here have mentioned, Etherium is becoming too popular for the tech to keep up. They have some serious scaling issues to deal with. If it were not for its use as an ICO token ETH would not have even been adopted.

Ethereum network is much faster today than a few days ago. The transaction price has decreased from 90 to 20 gwei. But the volume of trading did not decrease and it surprises me. Now everyone is watching ETH because it grows without a rest.

I do not know why the network is so slow.
HardFork solves this problem with scalability. What will entail a significant hanging of the price.

Yeah and its a good thing as more investors will come this year. I goes ETH will still grow. As with its network I heard they are going for a hardfork to give solutions to the slow network.
