the fact that ethereum can do 15 transactions/second... that's the problem to begin with. It has to be delt with first, before anything else.

Ethereum congestetion seems to be resolved now. The network works in normal mode again and safelow of transactions is 11 gwei at the time of this writing. Sure its not as low as it was, but at least its not 50+ gwei. Hopefully we will be back at even lower fees soon. Im just happy that Ethereum network has overcome its struggles. Guys dont loose faith in Ethereum, its still in its infancy, we will see more great things from ethereum!
At least it's some improvement.

yeah, I'm also very sorry about it, the pending transaction can not even at all and the price of Ethereum destroyed I'm very disappointed with the current situation.
Agreed. This is very sad. Up till now I was very big fan of Ethereum but after today I'm losing my love towards it. I hope it won't be like today again.

I have a pending transaction that just goes in a loop from an exchange and it never completes, thus I never get my money for days now. Is there anyway I can speed up this ruddy transaction as I need my money.
I read this but I can't do it, it isn't very clear.
If ETHEREUM don't fix their blockchain or allow our funds to come to us, how on earth can I trust it again? I have my money sitting in pending for days.

If someone can give me a proper step by step guide I will try to attempt it.

It wasn't a direct Ethereum fault for all those pending transactions. It was kitties madness that overflowed the Ethereum network with transactions. There is an upgrade planned for Ethereum, so after it is completed no stupid kitties will be able to ruin others people experience with Ethereum. Just send new transaction with higher GWEI (check which GWEI to set here https://ethgasstation.info/)

I feel you. I think you are not alone with this massive problem ethereum is having right now. If this goes on eth will lose a lot of followers and maybe find another alt to trade.

Prepare for more copies of Cryptokittens... They are going to kill ETH. Just one Cryptokittens already kill it. ETH should be named ETHKittens... People should leave ETH to kitten so it would be worth 0 satochis.

Pending or failure of transaction is now a common issue on ETHEREUM platform because Ethereum network is clogged with cryptokitties for last few days. As a result, currently it is very difficult to make a successful transaction in Ether-platform through ETH Wallet, you should have to keep patience for a few more days when all these problems should be solved as soon as possible by Dev team.

Ethereum will need reconsideration! If one dapp can kill the whole system, then finding the way for much bigger scalability and probably dividing channel as Vitalik introduced Sharding, would be necessary asap. Now only one opportunistic application can kill the whole blockchain and stop all other applications.
Also reconsider the price of the transaction, which raised wit scalability problem, would have to be solved. Otherwise, all that could be only a nice try... without real-life scalability and wide usage.
But I believe, Vitalik is doing the right thing and I hope that team will finish the transition to 2.0 soon.

The issue about ETH this last few days has been something that is discouraging and it seems there is no way to turn to in this issue of forever confirmation time because the next best alternative to bitcoin from my point is ETH and if ETH is exhibiting the same issue of bitcoin, then it means they are same thing and one is not trying to correct the error of another and every other forked coin out there. I just hope this can be sorted out soon.

Just use this site : https://ethgasstation.info/

I don't know what happening now. I have some transaction pending for 2 o 3 days until now and nothing. A friend of mine told me that some kind of new virtual cat that use the ETHERIUM blockchain is the problem.
From what I've red from some posts in this forum. There is a game called cryptokitties and this is their site cryptokitties.co/
There are many users of this ethereum based platform, it uses metamask as the main wallet for ether and the transactions. The game is about breeding and selling cats for a defined price. And because of the large volume of transaction in the network, the result is an increased number of unconfirmed transactions which is getting worse day by day as the number of users of cryptokitties increase.

How much gas did you use qiwoman2? Since I have also faced this problem, I will tell you what to do.
Within some time (usually minutes), your transaction will either be processed or cancelled. But now at least you can start the new transaction. And always make sure to first check prices on ethhasstation, before sending any transaction.
Hope these steps help you. Might seem complex in starting, but you can do it buddy!
- First go to my https://www.myetherwallet.com/. Make sure you enter this site only, there are many scam sites aroud with very similar name.
- Then navigate to the "send offline" tab.
- Enter your ETH address.
- Click Generate information.
- Then enter to address, which could be either your own address or the address you were trying to send the funds to.
- In the value/amount to send, enter 0.
- Increase the gas price to higher than the original. Refer to https://ethgasstation.info/ for the current gwei prices. Adjust the GWEI slider on the top right section of myetherwallet.
- Now access your wallet using private key, seed phrase or json file. If you are using Metamask, then also use these 3 options. Connecting it directly won't help. And if it's your own account on exchange like Etherdelta, then enter it's private key. Don't know if other exchanges like Polo provide such keys or not.
- After that generate transaction and then send transaction.

It is disappointing to use a touted world changing network said to soon rival Visa, and my withdrawal from an exchange has been stuck all day. Imagine if you made a purchase with your Visa card and it stalled all day with the excuse that too many gamers were trying to buy with their Visa cards. What a joke and a black eye to all the crypto technology.

This kitty shit is a stress test for the Ethereum network. We all tend to forget the blockchain technology is still very new, the developers need to face these event to improve the robustness of the network. We should be happy about it.

You will eventually get the money refunded and it also wont cost any gas because the transaction did not go through.
I dont know how long this takes in general, I suppose its a certain number of blocks that must pass before an unconfirmed transactions gets returned, but it eventually will.
Dont worry, dont loose the trust. ETH network is great, there are scaling problems, but this will be fixed sooner or later - this just shows us that we are not yet ready for mainstream adoption and that there are things to work on!

The traffic is getting worse as the users of the Ethereum network is getting larger in number. And most of all, the reason why the network has been lagging much in these past few days is the creation of Crypto Kitties which are also getting big in numbers. The breeders of Crypto Kitties are clogging the network. This is getting both funny and stupid. I actually don't understand why people are so hooked up to this new invention.
December 09, 2017, 10:50:32 PM
Most likely due to the cyptokitties games. I feel that it's good that Ethereum is going through this. Maybe this will help the chain overall so it's more stable. We will see with time, but don't lose hope, hang in there.
December 09, 2017, 10:44:51 PM
It would be more helpful if the people with transactions that are not being processed mentioned how much Gas was used. It will at least give the rest of us some idea what level of gas is needed to get transactions processed.
