waiting is not the future

"I hope to be dealing with." - BitcoinOdyssey

We believe that we need a change in Bitcoin governance.

"Thank you Bitcoin Core for giving us yet another reason to believe that even more.

No, we do not want you to give us your Compact Blocks before you give us your Segwit. We want you to give us your Segwit before you give us your Compact Blocks.

Anything else is just intentional delaying of a much needed blocksize limit increase. A delay that benefits you and your financial interests but does not benefit anyone else who is using the Bitcoin network.

We need an increase in the blocksize limit and we need a change in who is in charge of the Bitcoin node software that node operators and miners are using." - todu

They have to be the worst dev team

"in open source history..." - Ant-n

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Congratulations.

"Assuming 2.9% + $0.30 per tx, PayPal is now cheaper for transactions up to ~$24." - aaaaaaaarrrrrgh

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

I sent a transaction about 1 or 2 hours ago. Estimated fee in Bitcoin-qt wallet for 2 Blocks was about 0,0002 BTC/kb.

"Now we are much higher, which means my transaction is "spam" now and will probably not confirm in the next several hours. Hope coinbase will still accept it." - random_throwaway_321

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

So my transaction has been sitting for about a week now and I can't receive it from my old wallet to my new one on a different computer.

"It continues to be unconfirmed day after day." - instagigated

Complaints from users, Day 8 (22/06/2016):

So unless you pay 60 sat/B,

"fuck you, basically" - P2XTPool

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Why is my 44 Satoshis/byte transaction still uncleared after 9 mined blocks after sending

"https://blockchain.info/tx/8e5c91387935 ... 3f3d248853

There is a > 0.0007 fee included. Is 7 times the fee (compared to last year) the new normal and sometimes (like now) not enough to get in a block?" - pvrooyen

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

No wonder why Bitcoin is losing

"its crypto currency market." - shadymess

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

So that's what we do now? We try to derail the discussion with nitpicking and ignore the fact transactions are having to wait many blocks until there is room for them,

"instead of confirming on the next block like they used to?" - WiseAsshole

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Bitcoin is turning to shit.

"3 hours to confirm my transaction..." - happythots

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

I still don't understand

"why higher fees are good to Bitcoin..." - sebicas

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Funny to watch people in denial about blocks being full.

"Bitcoin is now more expensive and slower than what my bank has been doing for over 10 years. And it's getting worse. Congratulations." - undystains

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

How does Bitcoin aim to be an everyday currency

"with such long transaction times?" - NFGnar

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

My transaction just won't go through

"https://blockchain.info/tx/9145d1c7a219 ... 7312f1b3ee

I sent the transaction on 6/14/16 at 12:08 and it still hasn't gone through... Is there anything I can do about this?
" - drwatkins9

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

should i be worried my transaction hasn't gotten any confirmations in 2 hours?

"https://blockchain.info/tx/09261f18dcde ... 56ccda1fe1

is it gonna get reversed? " - Justachillday

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

my transfer took 3 days.

"Isn't it great how quick bitcoin transactions have become." - TweetyBit

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Are you sure about that? Because I sure as hell paid much higher fees than necessary, and so did a lot of people.

"The network is subsidised with 2 million dollar worth of BTC every day, yet somehow we also need to pay $50,000 in fees on top of that. Paying for something which is already paid for (at least at this moment in time).

That is 18 million dollar per year. With only a simple blocksize increase that figure would have been substantially lower.

And don't get me started with Bitcoin's price which would have been much higher without an arbitrary limit.

Core's antics have a definitive cost. The only question is, if they don't profit directly, how do they profit from an arbitrary limit?

Whatever the case, it is theft nonetheless." - seweso

Complaints from users, Day 9 (23/06/2016):

Changing the economic incentives of Bitcoin

"can be just as dangerous as changing the underlying code of Bitcoin." - MemoryDealers

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

I've been saying the same thing for years.

"We are just shooting blindly into the night with zero economic analysis of behavior - no modelling, sensitivity analysis, vectorautoregressions on variable relationships - nothing." - jeanduluoz

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Capping the block size only leads to an artificial price increase which cannot end well in the face of competition.

"That's not a free market anymore, it's a cartel. Econ 101." - knight222

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Bitcoin is not accessible to most of the world because of the blocksize limit is limiting the number of transactions and the amount of people that can use Bitcoin.

"Fidelity Investments wanted to flip the switch on their beta program but told Jeff Garzik they can't because Bitcoin does not have the capacity. Its a big problem. You can bet if Bitcoin could scale many huge financial companies would get in on it and bring Bitcoin to millions more people. But Greg Maxwell and BlockStream Core don't want to allow that. They want to cripple Bitcoin so they can profit off of some 2nd tier centralized solutions. $50k for 1 Bitcoin is nothing compared to Bitcoin's full potential." - sl888ter

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

XAPO transaction fee too low!

"XAPO is not including enough tx fee - transactions sent out are stuck in mempool, unconfirmed! How long will I have to wait for them to clear ?! https://blockchain.info/tx/c8f269d819fc ... 9eb5fb70ae" - xapo-user

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

They already raised their transaction fees to $0.18 It's a constant bidding war between all the bitcoin wallets to continuously out-bid each other to keep their clients happy.

"Its disgusting." - beezebest

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Can you please help explain why this transaction seems stuck

"transaction

1d83b814833500a2702cfe81e7f49de6f6d4dfe16f69bf226817e75a9e12440e

It was done at same time as 12 other transactions from electrum wallet, 6 of which have gone through without a problem. 6 seem stuck despite saying high priority. total amount for all transactions was less then the balance on the wallet so i wasnt spending btc i dont have. driving me crazy." - Mr-Evandal

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Transaction unconfirmed and rejected after 48hours

"I made a bitcoin payment of 0.013 btc 48h ago and it didn't get any confirmations." - imnotarobot12345

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Can someone explain me please this transaction?

"Hi, i was sending yesterday 1.3 BTC and i checked today if it already arrived. It didnt" - ice-tea-awyeah

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

2 unconfirmed transactions for over a week now. How do I push these through?

"I have 2 transactions that have been unconfirmed for over a week." - Drexxit

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

Why is the value of Bitcoin dropping amidst our current world events?

"I am not losing hope in it, I am 14 and just dismayed by the fact that it has dropped some 130 dollars." - Gen_Jackson

[iFixBTCmemoryIssues]

No valid reasons have been presented

"that justify limiting the block size at 1MB given the current demand for Bitcoin." - Adrian-X
