Topic: What's happening to Ethereum transactions ?? - page 2. (Read 995 times)
I also have the same problem, the ethereum network is very slow right now I am waiting forever to cash out my investment. From what I know it is because of CryptoKitties, it is an game like Pokémon but within Ethereum blockchain. This game went viral and make the Ethereum slow down. Right now about 15% of all Ethereum network traffic is dedicated to the game, making it the most popular smart contract on the network so imagine 10 viral game like that...
yes...the cats are blame in all...in this case crypto kittens...I don't recognize the details, but I know that it really overloads the network...it's very nice, if you don't take into account the problems it caused
indeed i have noticed that even some transaction of mine on etherdelta were postponed and therefore not done brother here mentioned "cats" did they meant hackers?
Nah, it's a viral collectible game on Ethereum blockchain. You can buy, sell and breed imaginary kittens in it.
Network congestion is the problem, kitty is wrecking it with micro transactions clogging up the network. If Ethereum don't sort this out it will be the downfall of the network.
All these unconfirmed transactions are due to network congestion. Its a busy network right now due to some apps. 
There are lot of unconfirmed transactions and a lot of garbage...
It is also affected by viral games on the etherium blockchain

I have suggested a new EIP to increase the transaction rates and localize the delays ,if any, so that whole world doesn't stop for some Canadian kittens.
Lets hope it gets accepted sooner.

Because of their stupidity to launched stupid cryptokitties game they suffered slow transaction speed thus the whole network is slowed,welldone ethereum.
Sadly it's down to the crypto kitties, it is estimated they are taking up 15/20% of all transactions so ETH developers need to sort this stress test out.
I did not expect such a failure from the etherium ((
all the positive aspects of the blockchaine - fast transactions and low commission disappeared
because of some kind of game

those pesky kittens are still at it!
Just put 70 gwei (like 60 cent) in gas and it'll be done in 1 minute. It's not that eth isn't working, it's just that the miners can be picky.

But this highlights the importance of scaling, and a bit embarrassing for eth that it's a cat game causing it..

I am also experiencing the same thing nowadays I can not send my altcoin and mendeposito tokens I have towards the market exchanges, whether the seniors here have to know whether the cause of this incident?
All because of CryptoKitties. My transactions cleared pretty soon(within 10 minutes) but now exchanges are not letting me withdraw or deposit ETH/ERC-20 tokens for past 3 days. All the wallets are in maintenance mode. It's frustrating to wait as the price of ETH has been dipping due to this. Earlier the issue was resolved in 24 hours but now its still on for 3+ days with 20971+ pending txs.
There 2 reason that make Eth transactrions slow:
1. Too much hot ico and people set low GAS price
2. Bitcoin transaction become slower + bitcoin withdraw fee increase because of bitcoin price so people start exchange bitcoin to Eth for faster sending.
Why do you think these are the main reasons 1. Too much hot ico and people set low GAS price
2. Bitcoin transaction become slower + bitcoin withdraw fee increase because of bitcoin price so people start exchange bitcoin to Eth for faster sending.
But what about this game cryptokitties about which everyone is talking about The most interesting is when everything falls into place. 
I don't think that this issue will be solved soon. The most probable time is a late January. Till that time we have to deal with it by setting higher gas price. I usually check this resource to set the gas price:
https://ethgasstation.info/
Current safe gas price is 50.

maybe because of that cat game, I tried to play that game but I can't spend my ethereum for these kitties because this game is very simple people will not buy them
Yes, it is because of this garbage, the transactions are very slow and the entire network is nearly frozen ... Something has to be done because the tendency is that more projects like those come up, what puts eth in a serious risk.
You will have to wait for the problem to be fixed
