I had to wait an hour and a half for the 1st confirmation earlier which was a bit irritating till i found this thread , but it wasn't really a problem.
I hope someone learned something useful out of this.
I learned that we need bigger blocks literally now. My transaction is still unconfirmed after 3 hours lol.
Bigger blocks is not the complete answer. Just making the block bigger, might push a problem out somewhere else. orphan blocks ect.
just pay another couple pennies to get your transactions confirmed in the next block.
