Another thing - I don't see why there's so much fuss on this article.
I made this comment on the bottom of the article, since I am so fed up from reading it over and over again, trying to find what the writer was saying. But technically, all he was saying is that there was 900k bitcoin stuck in the mempool. It could have been for a minute or two, while and exchange was moving their funds. That doesnt mean the funds are 'stuck'.
Ok. So if someone sends a huge 900k btc transaction, and it's in the mempool, that's not "backlog". That's a transaction waiting to be confirmed.
The proof in the tweet is an image of unconfirmed transactions. For all you know, a couple of exchanges or gambling sites transferred their bitcoin to a different storage address. What you need to tell is us HOW LONG the transaction was stuck for. Not just that there was 900k in the mempool. That doesn't mean shit. So if I were Satoshi, and I sent a transaction of a million bitcoin, I could straight away, before the next block had even been CONFIRMED, even with a fee of say, 250 satoshi per byte, and say that there was more than a million coins "stuck in the mempool". Someone would write another bullshit article just like this, and people would freak out. Good job.
Cryptocoinsnews, I usually read your articles and find them pretty good. But this? It's a whole new low. I thought you were meant to be supporting the bitcoin community, not feeding it with lies and twisted facts. Either have your editors informed of what is actually happening in the bitcoin community, or hire writers that don't feed off of retarded twitter posts.
