It could just be a busy day, but I have a feeling that is a spam attack. There are so many unconfirmed transactions with low fees. I hope these spammers stop.

Fuck I`m waiting here for 4-5 hours for a transaction to complete.

It had many inputs and I was lazy to pay the bigger fee, oh well, next time i will pay more.

I have to pay attention on the input count, it does increase the tx size.

WTF more than 31.500 transaction unconfirmed , if bitcoin price rising and no people want to "lost" his some satosi , the unconfirmed transaction can reach 100.000 Roll Eyes

Since I woke up this morning , I've seen several topics and people complaining about their transactions not getting confirmed ? Is it a coincidence or there is something going on ? Spam attack or something similar ?

Maybe it's because your transaction is big, i don't know though. Sometimes the confirmation take to long and slow, but i never experienced that issue.

Most likely we are experiencing some forms of stress tests these few days. My transaction in Coinbase has been pending since yesterday. No worry, it will be over, hopefully soon.

Nope, it does not look to be any stress testing:

Standard anwsers, pick one you like:
1. Fee too low
2. These transactions are spam
3. They depend on previous unconfirmed/spam/low-fee transactions.

I remember in december 2015 last attack only 0,20 btc as tx fees...
maybe it's not an "attack" but more people are using it?!?
And even if it's an attack who are the protagonists?

Spam attack or something similar?
Only around 25k unconfirmed transactions.
Being cheap and sending with low fees will result in your transactions traveling through confirmation-limbo for some time.

and how much exactly It should be to know if it's a spam attack or not ? or you can't know for sure unless someone admits that he is doing the attack ?

Yes it is really difficult to identify whether it is a spam attack or not because we don't have any clue until and unless the other person accepts it. Best way to avoid these late transactions is just pay a bit more for transaction and it will be real quick.

If you have  payment on wait "medium priority" for confirmation ? How long you must wait until confirm?
I never had experience with less than "high priority" and even then you must wait sometimes for almost hour.


They may take up to 6 blocks to get confirmed or more depending on the network load and since the network seems a little bloated today, it may take upto 1.5 Hrs for a tx of a medium priority to get confirmed.

Just look at the mere part of the unconfirmed transactions being sent with very little/close to none fees.

don't know about spam attack but there's an unusually high number of unconfirmed transaction right now. lots of them sends 1-10 satoshi per byte as fee. and the number of txes paying high fee are also a bit higher than usual.

maybe just a busy day.
