BTC to the moon is inevitable...

What is the normal amount of bitcoins transactions in queue? Currently it is close to 30000 transactions.
I have a transaction waiting for over 16 hours now. It has a fee, so am I guarenteed that it will be confirmed?

the so called "normal" number of unconfirmed transactions are usually about 2000 to 5000, you can see the history of it here: https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count?timespan=60days

and it usually goes up when there is a gap in the finding of blocks, or there is an increased number of activity that day like when people are trading more (more transactions)

Clean Code and Scale

I wonder how Andreas Antonopoulus is able to make his live only by bitcoin / dependant on trx and fee guessings?

I really wish all those politicians and fear mongers, unable to provide a community-unifying compromis (= consensus), should really try the same - put your lives on bitcoin trx - exclusively!

So with this we might see some real good consensus sofware coming out of devs work.

And no this is not spam - the threshold defines ALL to be spam, but not the elite.

There is no any fixed amount of bitcoin transaction that will be in queue, it keep on changing but over time total unconfirmed transaction is increasing due to lots of transaction with less than recommended fee.

You better post your transaction id so that we can give proper estimation of the time by when it will get confirmation. In the meanwhile check recommended fee here https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ based on your total transaction size.

Used the Internet archive
https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

Looks like it was normally between 4000 & 8000 Transactions in the queue for OCT & NOV, until this Spike happen

Cool

FYI:
4000 transaction would take an average of 2 blocks to clear
8000 transaction would take an average of 4 blocks to clear
30,000 transactions will take an average of ~12 blocks or ~2 hours to clear , if no other transactions are added.
Since the top post complained of 16 hours delay, it looks like Bitcrap transactions is being stress tested and failing.

FYI2:
Just to show how outdated BTC is,
ZEIT can handle 20X the transactions as BTC in 10 minutes.

I don't think there's an specific amount of transactions in queue to be considered normal but as of late, it's usually around the 30k mark. Usually the fee gives the assurance of receiving the confirmations later on but judging by your situation (16 hrs and counting), it seems you've used a fee lower than recommended and that's why it doesn't have a confirmation yet. Would you mind posting the transaction link?

A lot of people say a fee confirms it, but to be honest I think it is dependent on the Miners whether they accept the fee or not.

16 hours is beyond ridiculous. Bitcrap is living up to its name. Tongue
