Is the system under attack again or it is happening because of the miners? Even if a small portion of those transactions dont get confirmed, bitcoin will be dead for good. I hope devs got a solution for that kind of an attack.
What are you talking about? That is false. If your transaction ends up *stuck*, you do not lose Bitcoin nor does anything bad happen. Eventually the network drops it and you can create a transaction with a bigger fee (you could attempt RBF via Electrum right away, but I do not know which miners support that).

It seems you don't have a smallest clue about how bad that can be turned out.

Let's say i wanted to buy something from a seller. I sent him bitcoins. He saw the transaction with the highest priority and shipped my purchased stuff to me.

But somehow, the transaction didn't confirm!!!

And what happens if i am not willing to pay again?

Who's got fucked?

That was what i meant. It will definitely kill bitcoin. Nobody will trust it again.
