A couple of days ago, I had a transaction take 1 hour to confirm! Never had that before, and have since increased the fee I pay in the hope of avoiding that in the future. I wonder if the network is becoming overloaded.
apparently yes. it depends on the status of the server of blockchain. somethimes it took 8hrs because blockchain is the favorite spot of the ddos attacker. hahaha
attacking the blockchain? DDoS attacker? blockchain is different from blockchain.info (block explorer) don't think of them being the same.
