I still have one unconfirmed transaction, after 16 hours, and that's a bad surprise, because I had made another transaction which went through in 4 minutes, just one hour earlier.

It is shockingly easy to spam the network. I would have been happy to use a larger fee if I had known something bad was about to happen. Maybe we should add a "unconfirmed transactions backlog checker" on clients to warn us about the state of the network, and invite us to use a larger fee.

Easy solution use one of the other coins if the unconfirmed BTC transactions are over 10,000.

If BTC miners are going to play games to jack up the fees you have to pay.
Use another coin , they are cheaper and faster anyway than BTC with none of these shenanigans.

LTC, Doge, Eth and others are all running normally.


 Cool



Well stop being cheap and send a 50 cent fee

At the moment I have a similar problem with 0.0030 btc in about 24 hours and still waiting for approval.

Segwit seems to need we need to increase the size of the block, but I can say that the source of the problem is not quite as big as the boom.

Especially for small-scale transactions it takes too long to get approval.

Same here.
Made a small purchase and used bitpay, that was 5 hours ago.
I already contacted the shop where I placed the order and they are aware of the problem, so I do not expect any trouble once the transaction goes through.
But I really hope that will not happen too often in the future.
From now on I will always controle the mempool size before I make a transaction.

This happens most of the time specially if there are new HYIPs that paying small amount of bitcoin, which is seducing people to invest on their sites and return their bitcoin in the right time but the amount has been doubled, nad going to run if many people had already invest to them, resulting this kind of situation when those people are withdrawing their small investment on a certain HYIP site causing many unconfirmed transaction on the blockchain.

It's not the first time that the mempool is stacked, and it definitely won't be the last time, so complaining is quite pointless. If your transactions have priority, then adapt to the situation and include a higher fee the next time, or simply double spend the current transaction with a higher fee. That's exactly what I do, and most of the times my transaction gets included in the next block. See it as an auction where you have to bid higher than other people to win (get your transaction included in the next block).
So what if we withdraw money from exchanges and the fee is not depend on us?

In that case the user is not to be blamed, but the exchange is. Exchanges should either implement a forced fee of like 0.001BTC, or they should allow users to set a custom fee where there is a minimum of at least 0.0005BTC. In current times, users should be given these options as there is no way that the stingy fees that exchanges include for their withdrawals are enough.

We need SegWit, or an urgent block size increase. For the sake of BTC, something needs to be done, fast!


I agree, so let's think about this like business men. If you want the miners to do something, you have to use incentives. How can we pressure and/or incentive miners into accepting SegWit? How can we economically punish those who do not? Money talks and bullshit walks, if what we do does not affect their profits then they won't give a fuck.

Let's come up with ideas; I have at least 1:

  • Start a donation drive and give the proceeds directly to SegWit supporting pools
  • Buy mining equipment and mine at a loss in order to contribute to a SegWit pool
  • More ideas?

This transaction pays 69 sat/byte, this is way less than the average in the past 24 hours, expect a longish delay. Current average fee to confirm in 30-60 mins is 100 sat/byte.
The fee was payed by paxful. Not by me.
Hate that!
Please can someone add it to a block? Please

We can't control others who send us Bitcoin. A service I used paid a 80 sat/byte fee and it just took 8 hours to confirm.
Just...

I thought it could be added to a.miner manually. Probably i was wrong..

sure it can be... if you can bribe the miner to give you priority service Smiley
I will pay 1€ in bitcoins for someone to do so. Anyone?

It isn't an attack.

A large mining difficulty adjustment happened yesterday, less blocks are mined compared to the last adjustment blocks period. In the last period blocks were mined too fast because miners added much mining power. Now it's back to normal speed of 1 block in 10 min on average.
When network is saturated and it has been since a few months ago, this normal speed is not enough and it results in a backlog.

Sh*t! It's happening again! We really need to increase that damned block size!

I've been waiting for more than 6 hours for a transaction to be confirmed, and I'm shocked to see there are more than 50,000 in the queue.

I'm totally shocked because I've been waiting for about 2 hours now for my transaction to be confirmed and luckily I received a link about unconfirmed transactions which I checked and currently the unconfirmed transactions are approaching a whopping 70k and no more at the 50k you earlier stated so this is becoming alarming.

The spammer increasing their fees just causes legitimate transaction fees to increase since wallets use dynamic fee calculators, this prices the spammer out of the blocks since transaction fees are relatively small for the legitimate users but large for the spammer(since they are trying to buy a lot of block space). Without a cap fees would likely be too low to price the spammer out of the blocks.

The point of the spam is not to buy blockspace since there is way too much spam for that, or even compete with the ham but only to spam the nodes. Fee filters are not a defense since the spammer sets her fees above the filter but below the ham. 

Ok, So this is an attack targeted at nodes. Why would someone go through all the trouble to do that? Can this be a strategy to force people to accept SegWit or to make them realize that it is needed? The other possibility is that this is a external attack from a competitor, to take the network down.

What would be your opinion on the motive for this attack?


First We need to be sure If It's an attack on the bitcoin Network. As You say, I don't see any reason why someone will go through or the stress for flood the blockchain with Unconfirmed Transactions.

If It's an attack to made people embrace Segwit and Unconfirmed Transaction become more consistent, We may have to adopt Segwit.

Yeah I've been waiting over 8 hours. I hope it somehow confirms soon Sad


Over 8 hours? I'm extremely worried over My transactions that have been stucked for 3 hours now. Maybe we just need to wait a little longer Wink
