i love those full blocks! its a fckn good sign!


Do you really believe those chart buddy numbers?   I mean really, if you look at Blockchain.info, you get spikes between 45% and 75%, but currently, the average is around 60%.



They look like more than 75% full right now. That could create problems if you need a transaction confirming quickly. You could probably average the blocks out over a few hours to make it look like the average is below 75% full, but that doesn't help people who need transactions confirming quickly right now. There are times when the average is below 45%, and other times when it's above 90% (which is creating problems).




I recall RichieT going into some detail explaining difficulties with averages, and even reasonably arguing that averaging over an hour would give a better rendition of block clogging potentials, rather than averaging over a day, which may not adequately highlight block clogging potentials.

Does anyone know whether the below linked blockchain.info chart is averaged over 24 hours, and thus apparently providing us with much lower numbers of around 60% ish? Rather than finding ourselves with strings of frequent  shorter term blocks of between 74% to 98%,  as depicted in the above post.
