The Bitcoin Network’s Transaction Queue Breaks Another Record

[jamie.redman1]

Not only is the bitcoin price breaking records but the network transaction queue (mempool) has also hit an all-time high on May 5. Around 6 pm EST, the network had about 155,000 unconfirmed transactions with over 85 BTC worth of fees waiting to be settled.

The last time the Bitcoin network’s mempool filled up and broke records was on February 22 with over 100,000 unconfirmed transactions. The record was surpassed on Friday, May 5 as the transaction backlog amassed over 150,000 transactions waiting to be confirmed according to Blockchain.info, Statoshi.info, and Tradeblock statistics.

How can you confirm transactions and collect fees?

I ask because I have an unconfirmed transaction: 4ea6da33cf967b9eb88da433eaccaabd0b5243ca42e92154de32182e4860ec05
there was a fee attached to it but I guess it got passed over.

@bitkilo is the man for these kinds of problems. unfortunately I don't think we can tag users here. try shooting him a PM. or hopefully he reads this.

but yea. currently we have like 200,000 or more unconfirmed transactions at the moment. so thats definitely a common problem as of now.
