My definition of actual congestion is "appropriately competitive fees no longer prioritizing their tx."

What is your definition?

1. mempool: 57000 0conf-Statoshi, 11000 Tradeblock
2. avg wait time for 0confs=45-60 min Chain.so
3. Mycelium no longer able to prioritize fees
4. continued complaints on Reddit of stuck tx's even with higher fees.
5. continuous stream of full blocks and functioning full nodes indicative that the capacity for bigger blocks exists today.
6. TPS able to spike to >100 when needed indicative of greater bandwidth than initially thought.
7. continued lack of wallet development for fee feedback.
8. full blocks creating new deviant behavior.

That's an ad hoc (IE non-generalizable) mish-mash of random observations, not an objective definition.

a single self applied metric for a simpleton's mind. is you.

yes, i'm using a overall survey of the marketplace to make my determination that we indeed have congestion. you can't do so otherwise.

Brevity is the soul of wit; thus my definition is concise, objective, and not "self-applied" (whatever that means).

I asked for your (preferably objective) definition of BTC network congestion, not a garbled survey of ephemeral trivia.

When you look in a dictionary, you see objective, generalizable definitions, not subjective ad hoc surveys of transitory variables.

My distaste for your Free Shit Army draft and fetishization of African boys, as possessing magical powers to imbue Bitcoin with their own special kind of value, has nothing to do with my independent desire to see them (and Afghan girls, etc.) benefit from Bitcoin's ascendancy.
