This is a map of the unconfirmed transactions from blockchain.info:

https://blockchain.info/de/unconfirmed-transactions

I don't get it though - there have been the same transactions on the map for hours and if you click on the little flags, they all transfered the same sum and look like they have something to do with Satoshi dice - where are the "real" transactions?

There are only 521 unconfirmed transactions right now. Today is a slow day. What's the problem?

When that number gets up into the thousands, the block chain is backing up.  Bitcoin is limited to about 7 transactions per second, and during busy periods, confirmations will back up.

Well that doesnt scale with worldwide adoption does it?

Did you click on a couple of the little flags that mark each individual transaction?

Like I said - why is the amount of all the transactions the same?

I don't see any flags, and the transactions are all different amounts when I look.

Perhaps there is something wrong with your web-browser?
