today i send a transaction with 2$ fee and it got confirmed in just 2 minutes  Grin Grin Grin


I sent a 6$ transaction and it was confirmed at no time, but if the 2$ were to be as effective, I am so angry at myself for throwing away the 4$ difference Smiley

bitcoin confirmations are always at the same speed! they are as fast as the time that it takes to find a block which is 10 minutes on average.

what is changing is the fees and because of that the priority that individual transactions get.
the fees change based on how many transactions are being made and how many of them are being confirmed. recently because of a temporary big drop in bitcoin hashrate, fewer blocks were found and as a result less transactions were mined. additionally due to price dropping many bitcoin transactions were made all of which caused the mempool (number of unconfirmed transactions) to grow.

this means a competition to get higher priority by paying higher fees.
and none of this has anything to do with "confirmation speed"

How much btc did you send for a 2$ fee,OP?
All the unconfirmed transactions will be cleared,but i`m wondering who is sending all the spam micro-transactions ,that flood the blockchain.I thought that the Segwit2x supporters and devs are responsible for this ,but  Segwit2x was cancelled.Perhaps some miners are going this in order to increase the transaction fees.
a 400$ Btc worth

This is because bitcoin is starting to finish his backlogs

the transaction speed and its corresponding fees is now coming back to normal
