just pay another couple pennies to get your transactions confirmed in the next block.

Ahh, yes. If only those 10k unconfirmed transactions had paid higher fees they would be confirmed by now.

Is this happening? OMG this is awesome! And bad.
So, do you guys think they will be raising the limit? Or doing something else like telling everyone to pay up with higher fees? Smiley

I had to wait an hour and a half for the 1st confirmation earlier which was a bit irritating till i found this thread , but it wasn't really a problem.
I hope someone learned something useful out of this.


I learned that we need bigger blocks literally now. My transaction is still unconfirmed after 3 hours lol.

Bigger blocks is not the complete answer.  Just making the block bigger, might push a problem out somewhere else.  orphan blocks ect.

For curious sake, how much did you pay in fee?
Current unconfirmed is 11000.

Lol. Isn't that Peter Todd on the right?  Wink



Lol. Peter actually said today on reddit to just pay the higher fees.

As of ~8:03 PM GMT, there are roughly 9,200 unconfirmed transactions with total Tx fees of ~1.76 btc that are a total of ~10,100 KB in size. Last block was found roughly 35 minutes ago and the 6th last block was found roughly 90 minutes ago.

Yes ... always full.

As I was expecting and wrote a while back on the forums... Although it's an interesting experience, the cost and blockchain delays provoked by such a test outstand the results obtained from it. There isn't a beneficial funds spent/results obtained relation here. Just some spam and confirmation delays for folks wanting to send coins back and forth...

We already know we've got to bump up the block size... Cheesy

Here is a good site to watch the memepool as a graph, on the right hand side.

Dark Blue are unconfirmed transactions that are old and "were received since the confirmation of the last block".
Light Blue are unconfirmed transactions that are new and "were received since the confirmation of the last block".

You can also see how much the miners are adding into the blocks, when found.

Currently, the average fee for next block seems to float around 0.0003.

good, normal fee is 0,00001 BTC usually ... and 0,0001 BTC in 2014.  Grin (android wallet)

Well... now current fee is 0.00053, for next block (in theory).

Seems they started again after stopping for 2.5 hours.

I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.
I was going to play a game for 30 minutes or so before work.  Now, 4.5 hours later, my BTC is tied up in some unconfirmed transaction.  Hey, OP, uh, thanks!

pay the real fees ...  Roll Eyes

Hey, cute eyeball rolling smiley!  If by "the real fees" you're referring to the fee my client suggested for the transaction, that's exactly what I did.  If you missed the context above about a potential client that would warn you about spam-attacks and "stress-tests" and calculate a fee suggestion to get you confirmed, I dunno, today, then Roll Eyes back at ya.

Whelp, I paid 0.00002BTC, so I guess I'm double what you consider normal.  Hey, thanks Meuh6879, for the help!
