Bitcoin OG

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.

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.

 Huh Shocked Angry Angry Angry

With every block that is mined I see a bot that is spamming small transactions, cue filling to get in front of the line; and they say be stay calm and relax. This is the size of one full days mining of all blocks, let it empty are you will be waiting past X-mas to get ever bitcoin you receive.

O yea BCH went up after Bitmain released their new batches for the S9 and L3+ which BCH is the only payment accepted, now it is pump and dump time on the exchanges "get it drop it" down while you are sleeping mode. Now that the fork did not happen and they did not get free money given to them they then dumped bitcoin to get in on 70% of BCH swing and then converted back to Bitcoin to get fiat which needs to go into a GDAX Coinbase type wallet.

Bitmain is also antpool the largest mining pool.

Hint Hint, let it clear out so people get their money is what I would say to all, o yea the wallets use swget to lower the fees to make more money on the fee they charge on top of a fee, so we are all screwed right now.

Actually seeing that some people can manipulate the market this way is very disappointing.
It looks like much worse than fiat currencies, where we are in the willing of central government banks and big financial institutions.
Here we are in the hands of a bunch of miners?
I thought the cryptocurrency world was something different.

Miners move to what is profitable. So we have less miners now in btc and blockchain priotize only those who paid more transaction fee.

but couldnt those 134k unconfirmed transactions tank the BTC market in the coming day as the transactions become confirmed?  or am I being silly?  (honest question since i don't understand it)
It can tank the btc market if they are transactions headig to exchanges. Also, those spams causes uncertainty as you can see so even if they are unconfirmed, it will surely dump price a little, I am sure that there are some who will sell their btc now because of those unconfirmed transactions causing uncertainty. You are not being silly for asking this questions OP as this kind of events does not happen often. It should take more than 50hrs IMO to get all those transactions confirmed.
it mines at 1 block every ten min or 6 blocks a hour and 144 blocks in 24 for hours, thus means a rate 244k  a day,  I  think it needs a spam filter like email, I would agree to a software update to block spam transaction of known addresses made with in the same wallet.

Ill be honest, the endless wait for my funds to confirm (even waited 24 hours+) with a 5 USD fee, this has me and my clients transacting in NEM and Litecoin. 5 USD TX fee is more expensive than PayPal.




That's probably the truth of this entire SCAM is "Occam Razor", the simplest explanation is that the miners that control +80% of BTC in CHINA, are pushing people to pay More in Transaction fees, there is MORE money now in fee's than in mining, this is where the profit lay's.

Always a new way to make a fast-buck, changes seasonally now it fee's, yes they're getting VERY painful, but remember that BTC is a rich-mans crypto, so a $5 fee, on $5,000 USD transaction isn't bad,

The problem is these $1 transactions, paying a 0.99 fee; somebody is either stupid or its planned.

I think a combination of CHINA-ASICS colluding to drive up the transaction fee profits, but its also these 2,000 shit-coin alt btc-clones, where people buy&sell 100's of 1,000's of shit-coins a day, but they use BTC as the primary currency

The average idiot has 0.05 BTC, but that 100,000 BTC-Z

Most MORONS have been told to TRADE alt-coins, but bank in BTC's, ... what is obvious is there needs to be an established 'banking crypto' for the little people, and a use BTC for the 'rich peoples' crypto.


***

The majority of traders hold 20 alt-coin shit-cryptos they trade daily 0.01 BTC hoping that one will go to 0.5 BTC, of course it never happens, but this is the source of the ++100,000 BULLSHIT transaction per day

Sadly BTC is fucked, Satoshi would have never wanted BTC to be overwhelmed by idiots playing monopoly.

Something MUST be done to kill this use of BTC as the bank of "CRYPTO-GAMBLING"

The best thing is "FEES" perhaps given the same ppl, buy/sell 0.001BTC all day long, they should have to pay a fee of 0.001BTC that will put an end to this BULLSHIT, they will have to find another coin as their MAIN-BANK.

That's the truth,

A flood of spam combined with gambling sites, then aholes that tip .06 cents and pay $25 for the transaction along with hobby miners that don't have the money for a a larger farm. This is bull S. that every time they try to fork they waste tx fees to prove a point, we need a bigger block size.

What miners don't get is they can take over the 2k blocksize, and the fork didn't happen, but there is also offspring fork coming. Getting greedy I would say, the average block reward if 14.7 up from 12.9 6 months ago and remember these coins half, well lets get it up to 25k to keep the payments coming after the half, opps I fork it.

my take leave it a loan and let the market take it up, that is the main problem, your fucking with it to much to try and make bigger fees and profits, bitcoin and all other cryptos would have more than 5 times their profits if they quick fucking with it.

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.

They attack btc with unconfirmed spam transactions everytime one of their agendas like segwit2x isn't accepted.

There are massive spikes in the number of unconfirmed transactions whenever something like this happens:



This goes back as far as 2014.

I sent btc yesterday & it confirmed quickly. I think I might have been able to confirm in 24+ hours with a transaction fee of 0.0001 which isn't too bad.

They do this on purpose, intentionally. They try to show the vulnerability of bitcoin to make BCC strong.

People won't get fooled because of jihan wu's manipulative actions. Once again, we won't get fooled into your BCC garbage.

The community will maintain strong even in the bad days and bitcoin will born from its ashed like a phoenix!
The mining community is an integral part of the bitcoin community Tongue and if they start playing games the network will suffer and so is the reason we are seeing right now,i expected this after the 2x fork and since it is canceled they started their tricks to stifle the network as there is a sharp decline in the hashrate in the past couple of days.

yawn
people only screaming about the price

temporary price drama.
if people are checking the price several times a day, they are literally asking to give themselves mental anxiety issues.

the cure. dont invest more than you fear losing and dont check the price daily
