Everything is fine now. Can anyone give a report what really happened? kiklio mentioned that it was not a small fee issue but a miners not finding a block issue. It would be nice if someone who knows the more technical side of Bitcoin to explain what causes a no block found issue and if there is a fix for that.
you should read about bitcoin either from a reliable source such as
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/ or from someone with unbiased comments not who you keep quoting and is a known bias troll when it comes to bitcoin.
the 1 hour time that you see before a block is mined is a normal thing that happens every now and then and because of that number of unconfirmed transactions grow but not from 2000 to 60,000 instead it grows from 2000 to 5000-7000
you can check this next time a 1 hour gap happens.
what caused the 60K unconfirmed transactions was a
spam attack and the addresses involved are already found. you can find the topic about it in this board.
Excuse me, the most accurate description of me was a
BTC PermaBear @Pooya87 , you're not very good in math are you.
The most recent problem was caused by the backlog from not finding blocks, the one with the spam attacks, had little effect on the people paying the desired fees.
If you had bothered to read Wind_FURY, earlier post, he said it did include higher than the desired fee.
Are you so dim, you can't understand if their are ZERO BLOCKs, then NO TRANSACTIONS can be INCLUDED,
No Matter how high of a Fee is Paid! FYI:
Fact is BTC is fixed at 2016 blocks every 2 weeks which sorts out to an average blockspeed of 10 minutes,
due to a design failure the difficulty is only calculated every 2 weeks,
if BTC Core Devs got off of their Lazy asses and changed it to calculate difficulty after every block,
then these hour long gaps would not happen.
Design Failure , Fix it or live with it. Pooya87
FYI2:
Of Course that would be a
Hard Fork and all of you BTC zealots are afraid of hard forks.
