So yeah, yesterday I sent a transaction of 18$ to a guy, now when I told him to delivery service, he said I didn't send and when I checked it shows 0 transaction and 0 balance
Ok, and all transactions are getting unconfirmed with even 2$ fees, I have now to pay 1-10$ each time when send transaction also seems like blockchain is down, it doesn't show the balance when the transaction is left the wallet or so it double spend automatic
Well I have to say this is the end of the bitcoins, seems some merchant doesn't accept it anymore, well good job bitcoin dev.
Bitcoin is not dead what it happens is that a scaling method has not been agreed and to be honest it does not seem like we are going to see any improvement any time soon,
so if you need to send small transaction then use litecoin, send a bigger fee to the bitcoin miners, and avoid using the network when it is very busy.
This is the only scaling method that will work. Use other coins. Bitcoin is not a payment system any more. This was built in from the start, when a hard limit on block capacity was frozen into the immutable protocol (the reason why "we don't seem to find a solution yet" - the same reason of why "we don't seem to be able to make more bitcoins than 21 million yet"). This hard limit made "a transaction" - room on the block chain - a commodity with finite supply, and will hence, make its price explode, like bitcoin is a coin with finite supply, and made its price go to $1200,-. A commodity with inelastic offer and increasing demand becomes always hugely expensive. By putting a hard limit in the block chain size, and hence by putting a hard limit on the number of transactions per second, with increasing demand, a "transaction" will become a hugely expensive affair.
So, these are the last few months of bitcoin as a payment network. Only *very big* transactions will still be affordable, reducing more and more "low contents" addresses to the dust bin (if you have an address with 0.5 bitcoin in it, and the fee is 0.6 bitcoin, per input UTXO, you're not going to be able to ever use that address). Only single addresses with HUGE amounts will still make sense. In the hands of exchanges, institutional investors, etc... And they will only move huge amounts when they need.
In other words, bitcoin is then a reserve currency for institutional players, banks, exchanges.... Miners will love it. They don't have any incentive to change this.
That fate is built into bitcoin since there was a hard limit on block size.
