Mon Dec 05, 2016 5:48 pm

During the last week of November the blockchain-monitoring company Blockchain announced Bitcoin had its “busiest” week ever, with over 2 million transactions processed.

Blockchain Reports Busiest Week and Network Congestion


November has been a busy month for the decentralized currency bitcoin, as adoption has been on the rise. Over the course of the month, the cryptocurrency’s fiat value has also been growing exponentially. Blockchain.info revealed that between Nov. 20-27th the currency had 2 million transactions and a significant backlog in its mempool. According to the company, this milestone equated to over 300,000 transactions per day with longer than usual confirmation times.

Bitcoin is going strong!!!!!!!!!!

Until Bitcoin Unlimited is activated, if anyone has problems with their transaction being unconfirmed the next time the network gets busy, use: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

If you are running a version of Bitcoin Core, stop using it. Upgrade to Bitcoin Unlimited or Classic immediately.

Fix Your Unconfirmed Transaction.

Vote for the future of our Bitcoin network!

Unfortunately it seems like the "busy" was partially artificial. It seemed like a huge portion of the transactions were intentional network spam.
