As I write there is another huge number of transactions in limbo.

Time to solve this problem, guys (lead developers). Shape-up and fix this.

I grow somewhat disenchanted w/ BTC, even w/ paying higher fee (when I can) or w/ acceleration.

They already have a solution. It is called Segwit. Thanks to politics and self interests of the people on top of the food chain it will never be activated. What you should be doing is tell the miners to shape up and make a move. Segwit or Bitcoin Unlimited? It is time to make their pick. Maybe they have other plans and will drag this stale mate for years.

Segwit is just a first aid to this problem, Segwit is not really the solution. They must think of the new way and it must be really fast.
This is the main problem of bitcoin that must be answered. If these is not answered fast then there will come a time that problems will be more and more complicating emerging from the past problems.

That is what the people from Bitcoin Unlimited will tell you. The real solution is for Bitcoin to have a scalable network working on top of it. Bitcoin itself will still be useful as a settlement layer. Please also be aware that politics and the quest for control is a key factor on why many do not want to activate Segwit.

This is not really good. Someone should do something with this. Question is who is that someone. If this continues it will really make bitcoin fall. I have read someone posted about someone that is spamming transactions and spent above a million dollar just for that.
What could be the intentions of this happening? Something sounds really fishy now.

And outright lies!

You know, you should try getting some bitcoin for yourself and maybe use them to see what's what? Beats trolling!

the problem is not that the problem is that correct fee is generally expensive, and i never use autofee for this reason, it's better to try your luck with a low fee

and then maybe accelarate the transaction, if stuck, with another service, some TX are ridiculous high in fee, like 100k+ satoshi, paying that much when you need to send many is stupid

Recently, this situation is ongoing. I was very upset when my transaction is not confirmed though I had to pay a high fee. I would like to know the drivers are doing and where. why they have to this situation occurs repeatedly, this is so bad. all of us would want their transactions quickly. and so do I, I hate to wait

If you are on a rush then you will surely forced to set high tx fee amount if you dont like the waiting time but on some circumtances even you set above average fee you still need to wait specially when there is spam attack on the network.

It get harder and harder to push transactions over. The fees get higher each day and especially if there is these kinds of events where the unconfirmed transactions are really getting to our nerves. Coinbase is looking like a light in the dark now, since coinbase pays for fees even if it sometimes is really high.

If you were telling the truth, we would not have all of these Topics with people complaining about days before their BTC is received
or even dropping out of the mempools after 72 hours and having to resend.

Has your entitled ass ever left your parents basement, because you seem completly clueless their is a exchange rate between world currencies.
And your .46 Cents in other Countries:

India is the lowest among larger economies with a $0.28/hour rate.
1.64 hours to paid your transaction fee
or
The absolute lowest federal minimum wage is in Sierra Leone, where workers can expect just $0.03/hour.
15.33 hours to paid your transaction fee

We might get along reaching mass adoption without Sierra Leone. However India is a emerging market, most EB-2 green cards arriving from over there. That country isn't exactly sparse-peopled. Same goes for China, Russia, that whole asian continent plate at the moment features only a handfull of full nodes (but probably >50% of the total hashrate, and stuff like Huobi and BTCC)

It's not really about "installing the right wallet"

Because the core team are selfish greedy pigs and think you are stupid as they try to ram their agenda down your throat instead of simply increasing the block size.

Their intentions are very questionable. There is a chance that they are trying to obstruct the popular adoption of Bitcoin by arguing against the Block size increase. In future, if the Block size remains at 1 MB, then there will be huge delays in confirming the transactions. So obviously people will dump Bitcoin and move to some other crypto-currency. Perhaps that is what these people want.

Too much talk and very few to no action. Why not fork Bitcoin away from the Core developers if you all are so sure of their evil intentions. Remember the other side is also playing the same game. Between the 2, I will go with the lesser evil. Going with Core is also the safer choice. But go ahead, do the hard fork to Bitcoin Unlimited. I almost want to see it happen so that the people against it make their point.

by minutes I mean minutes. all txs sent with 160 satoshis per byte went out in 1-2 blocks, which is anywhere from 0 to 30 minutes. try it at least once...

bitcoin is perfectly fine, what is not fine is the army of trolls pushing their masters political agenda. this we should definitely get rid of, its a nuisance to actual developers and actual community.

"All transactions are confirmed in a matter of minutes."
And outright lies!

If you have auto-fee in your wallet software, it's actually true. Software chooses the average fee in the mempool, transaction confirms in minutes (less than 90)

Ok, - a matter of hours - i accept that is a lot more true.
(a "matter of minutes" counted in hours was deceitful at least)

But this fee market is just starting.
Given more time, recommended fees will be counted in Dollars, not Cents.
Can't core understand people are adopting Bitcoin, as satoshi envisaged. Core don't seem to want that.

No problem, this fee and congestion Core plan must happen now to show their failings and induce a sudden fork to (have to) happen.
We just need a bit more time to get through this Core plan of Bitcoin destruction.

tell that to my friend who used the default fee in electrum and has been waiting 16 hours for his money since yesterday.

Good, maybe your friend would want to upgrade to a modern wallet now, seeing as his current one can not calculate fee properly.

I guess you do not really understand how bitcoin fees work. They are dynamic. There is no 'proper' method as the requirements change.

No, there is. Proper method is calculating a fee that guarantees inclusion in the next block. It's trivial math, you know, adding and dividing numbers. Most wallets figured out how to do it long time ago. Try some.

Wow...this comment really shows your ignorance.

There is no guarantee that any transaction will be included in the next block.
It is completely up to the miner what transactions (if any)
they want to include in any particular block.

Once again, I must tell you to get at least several satoshis and see for yourself how bitcoin actually works, and not tell me your theoretical half-assed knowledge. All transactions sent with an adequate fee are included in the next block 99% of the time, period.

If that is too hard, there is a service which API you can use, then you don't even need to know how to add and divide numbers! https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ - see, 160 satoshis per byte for an instant confirmation. As you can also see, most of the backlog consitutes txs with 0-40 satoshis per byte, which no sane modern wallet would ever use. These are called spam transactions, sent out by some bad guy promoting big blocks. If you really cared about bitcoin future even a tiny bit, you would understand that working for this guy and promoting including such transactions in the block space is a horribly wrong idea.
