Bitcoin is broken, don't know why people still use it when there is a plenty of better alternative  Roll Eyes
Bitcoins here in this thread and this situation is not broken at all,its the network manager who is,bitcoins is just undergoing blockchains services because of transaction,its the blockchain who is broken at this time and not bitcoin at all.Besides this lots of unconfirmed transaction is mostly caused by spam attacks in the network

That Teethow is a newbie with one post so I don't know if he's paid or ask to do this kind if thing like degrading the morale of the Bitcoin community and we can't exactly pinpoint as to who would really benefit from this.

Bitcoin has been in the online world for a long time and faced myriad of attacks in the past so this one is just one of those. Now that the Bitcoin has gained its momentum in rising in much higher ground so the developers would not just sit around idly and just quarrel over because Bitcoin's sake is their common denominator so if they fail in fixing this then they will lose greatly also. Let's just look forward that this problem will be solved anytime soon.

You don’t know? Where have you been? Bitcoin has raised in price with such a speed that it has been difficult to even get our prediction about the price of bitcoin, the confirmation time is going to be resolved eventually, and then bitcoin will be unstoppable.

I really do doubt it is a cabal of bankers and stuff.

Sounds like you have a lot to learn.

in what world a centralized, pre-mined, pump and dump, buggy, in some case bloated, insecure altcoin is better than bitcoin?
maybe next time you make a throwaway account, make sure to also give us some example Smiley

Maybe in a world where a cabal of miners (BitFury, BTCC, Slush, F2Pool) seem to be holding up on-chain scaling for bitcoin. Who are they connected with? Are they long time private money advocates? Early adopters? Or are they some bankster creation?

That is exactly my fear about this whole thing. I really do doubt it is a cabal of bankers and stuff. But I do understand how easy it is for absolute power to corrupt absolutely. Even if the miners have good intentions now doesn't mean they won't sell out 4 years later when BTC is worth tens of thousands each or more.

For now I am not concerned about the miners doing anything beyond loving their high transactions fees, later is when I worry.

The community need to do some big changes to handles this transactions.
This can't be happening, this could mean a possible "death" to Bitcoin if they don't fix this shit.

I hope people stop this war between BU and Segwit and start solving those problems.

The same i guess the blockchain was so full of transaction and the system cant even handle it so i guess the bitcoin blockchain need a bigger one for a increasing number of bitcoin user so probably we need like what is happening to my transaction normal i just take 12 hours to confirmed and that just okey but it almost take 3days and still not confirming so sad thing we need another currency no minimixe the bitcoin usage i guess.

It's definitely the highest I've seen so far. 

Has anyone performed analysis on the transactions similar to what happened when the blockchain was spammed (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mother-of-all-spam-attacks-on-bitcoin-network-proof-1776143) prior?

Actually no, this is a good stress test of the Bitcoin network and codebase. Cheesy

It's true that everyone is facing difficulties with the confirmations  Cry past few days.

What possibly could the reason be?

At this very moment, the number of unconfirmed transactions is increasing like a mad man running from zombies.

It's standing at 202.5k now and it's increasing about 100 per minute !
What's going on?

Electrum, Mycelium, NO WALLET WILL IMPORT MY BTC from an old wallet and let me send it with an increased fee.  Period. It's not there.

Bitcoin=Shitcoin now.

If this ridiculous situation ever resolves itself and I can actually send ONE BITCOIN and have it go through in a DAY, I am dumping all BTC.  This is INSANE!

EDIT: I wanted to put 1 BTC into Bitbay.  It's up over TWENTY PERCENT right now. GO BITCOIN!  You're so great!

All the merchants that accept bitcoin are not going to wake up and just start taking Litecoin or any other coin. They would probably just watch for a while before making any decision.

If they would accept BTC and LTC, the world would be safe and we could just use BTC/LTC from BTC/LTC dual wallets. BTC to buy LTC or a car, LTC to pay for shopping at the mall, and LTC-on-LN for coffee or similar microtransactions.

Or we can just wait until scamtokens like XRP use the "Paypal effect" to rekt the world of crypto.  Sad Cry

Don't even get me started on the Satanic Federal Reserve Ripple.

COME ON losers, get my BTC through!  These chinky miners care nothing about anything, except their own bottom line.  They beat and eat dogs and cats, then rip us off with BTC.

Which one is better  Grin
Bitcoin is not broken, it is just under attack by few people/organization who like to centralize bitcoin network with their alternative bitcoin clients full of bugs.  Wink

Many newbies are getting into bitcoin after seeing massive price growth on bitcoin but they try to save even a small sum of bitcoin for fee that adds more transactions to mempool.

Not broken?  Really?

When a transaction is stuck for days, it's broken.  And I can't increase the fee because of my old version of MultiBit:

https://blockchain.info/tx-index/4d69c58bea463608aa0ded4f025ed8933f2422106244d6c893441a627257b688

https://blockchain.info/tx-index/b435a0fe0150be8f6f244242205ee7e61eadd283b6abab007d7d19816a60d8f5

That first one was sent MAY 10.

export your private key and use a different wallet. Bitcoin is not broken if you are in need of a speedy transaction pay a higher fee.

Can anyone tell me how to get these through NOW?!  Without changing wallets?  NOW. Wonderful Bitcoin is costing me hundreds and thousands because the fucking transaction won't go through in a reasonable amount of time.  I have about 20 BTC now, and at this point I am really hoping it dies because it deserves it.


Well, what's the solution BTC maximalists?  I can't get this through for DAYS?  Come on, this is such a great technology!

If you think so, please donate all your bitcoins to me and I will take good care of them, I assure you! And for the unconfirmed transactions, I believe they are mainly because of no or low fees. I have made a transaction today from my offline wallet and it went through smoothly as envisaged. I haven't faced any problem.

However, for the small amount the transaction fees is really high now which may discourage some small time earner to use bitcoin and look for other alternatives. But for high value transactions, even if the fees is higher, it will going through smoothly.

Donate?  No. Transfer?  YES.

Give me a reasonable amount of ETH, LTC, or even others like NXS, and I will trade you it all right now.  Let's go.

I dunno. It's now fully integrated with Coinbase which removes a lot of friction. Bitpay is a different matter but these people are in business and they're not going to tie themselves to pointless ideology and sentimentality when there's money waiting to be made.

It could happen considerably faster than we expect but only if there's demand. Right now I can't see much evidence of the desire to spend LTC.

When it comes to wages I assume plenty of them are going straight to dollars. In that scenario people won't really care what coin it is as long as there's a dollar portal.


Most merchants just don't really worry about something like this as long as it isn't impacting their sales though.

It surely must be right now for the more modest stuff. Why would you bother buying a Steam game when the fees eat up a quarter of the cost?




For BTC accepting merchants selling larger value items, my guess is this won't affect sales at all.  The only thing I have ever bought for BTC was gold.  My timing, however, was not so great.  Buying with BTC only cost 1% more than wire transfer (which has its costs), so if you want something like that fast, BTC still is a winner.
