I have to agree Ethereum has grown quite large and needs more gas limit increase to handle the load. If it remains so low and continues to cause delays in transactions the value is going to continue to crash! 

Wake up you pool operators and raise the damn gas limit!

It is believed that the following pools either have the gas limit hardcoded to 4,712,394 or something lower.

These pools need to change their Ethereum client settings to allow for a flexible gas limit (see below on how to do that):
https://www.coinotron.com
http://nanopool.org
http://pool.ethfans.org -- they are working on it: https://twitter.com/ethfans/status/877831795143720960
If you have contact with any of the above pools, please direct them to the Reddit thread linked at the bottom so we can help get them setup with the correct command line flags!

The following pools appear to be using the proper settings:
F2Pool
http://ethermine.org
https://www.alpereum.ch
http://ethereumpool.co
http://ethpool.org
https://dwarfpool.com
https://miningpoolhub.com

All pools should be running with the following settings:

Geth:
--gasprice 4000000000 --targetgaslimit 4712388

Parity:
--gas-floor-target 4712388 --gas-cap 9000000 --gasprice 4000000000

If you are on social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) then please share this thread and get it as widely distributed to your mining friends or friends of friends, as possible.

Thank you!
