I still have one unconfirmed transaction, after 16 hours, and that's a bad surprise, because I had made another transaction which went through in 4 minutes, just one hour earlier.
It is shockingly easy to spam the network. I would have been happy to use a larger fee if I had known something bad was about to happen. Maybe we should add a "unconfirmed transactions backlog checker" on clients to warn us about the state of the network, and invite us to use a larger fee.
Thats what the miners want. "invite" us to use larger fees. so the beauty of bitcoin is losing his powers.
if bitcoin will became slow and non economical, why we should use it?
i better use XMR then or, LTC. any other will work fine
