That is exactly what I was trying to tell pereira. It was his bad not mine.
I never said that it was your 'bad'. I was just adding my input to that view.
Ok, you were saying it was pereiras bad, like I said.
Confirmations take 10 minutes on average.
I doubt that irrelevant comment is even true. Link please?
1) It is not irrelevant. 2) It is true. Unless you want to include irrational transactions (unusual size, unusually low fee in comparison to the recommended one) in your calculation.
Average block time is not the same as average transaction time.
Unless you exclude all transactions that take longer than 10 minutes you say?
Blocks take 10 minute on average to find.
Exactly, and this is why we tell people that confirmations take 10 minutes on average per confirmation.
You really mean if you pay a high enough fee to be included into the next block, the average comfirmation time would be 10 minutes?
Not the same thing
("we", who else is giving this false info, other staff?)
Free transactions are (usually) spam. (ask Lauda)
Not necessarily all, but most are. Whoever complains about the network when they've included a fee that is several times lower than recommended is very ignorant (the nicest way to put this). The only time when this
might work is if there are practically almost no transactions in the mempool.
I agree. So why are staff telling users to do this?
And Lauda will tell you it is your own fault for not paying correct fees.
I stand by those words. If this wasn't the case, everyone would be affected (which is not the case here).
And I agree. (that the fee was to low to get into a "core restricted" 1mb block)
So why are staff telling people to use a low fee and hope for the best?
