Recently I've sent $20 for a trade but even after 48 hours its not confirmed yet. Are you guys too facing this issue with bitcoins?
Bitcoin has had this problem for quite some time, but every time there is pump you can expect the problem to get even worse for the simple fact more people begin to move their coins around so they can get some profits.
The size of the mem pool is sometimes ten times as high as it is on other days.
I'm not sure if that is normal behaviour, some people suspect a spam effort behind this.
Personally, now I look up the size of the mem pool every time befor I make a transaction.
If the size is too high, I make the transaction on another day.
