Don't think I've ever seen this many unconfirmed transactions before (I do have an awful memory though, long story).
This must be another spam attack to have over 60,000 unconfirmed transactions though, no?
No. In case you've been living under a rock, it is not due to spam but rather due to Blockstream intentionally crippling the system so there will be a need for their 'solution'. It is nothing less than a hostile takeover of the protocol.
It is a very bad approach to sit back and do nothing. So get off your ass and do something. At least go start a BU node. It is not that hard. Can anyone give a link to simplified instructions how to set up a BU node for the morons?
If this is not due to increase in adoption, then we have still plenty of room to scale, if this is just someone that intentionally want the block to be higher when it's not the time yet, then just leave he doing it until he run out of money
the block should be increase only if it is geniunly needed, and since there is no proof of that, and you can't say this just by looking at the price increase, it result in fud to me
