Being a very active gambler i was usually pretty satisfied with btc. The stakes are higher then other sportsbook sites and i like the fact that i don't need any personal information. Well this all changed during recent events with the so called mempool. Just to make this clear, i have no idea how this all works and i don't care either,i just want it to work.
The problem with this is i play on various sites and most of the time i make last minute bets on games in different sports and the transactions have to be almost instant and be confirmed before the bets are being payed out to me again.
Most sites credit the btc after just 1 confirmation which by the looks of it is going to take hours again with almost 45.000 waiting transactions in the mempool. It happened before and it's happening again and it's time for me to say goodbye to bitcoin.
Any other people feeling the same like me who are tired of these slow confirmation like today?
The users want fast confirmations and low fees. Blockstream controlled Core devs don't care what you want. They're going to scale Bitcoin according to their own roadmap, and if you don't like, tough shit.
Any questions?
If they did not care what users want, why then did they code SegWit and the Lightning Network? You cannot blame Core or BU for "slow confirmation" times. If you want to blame someone, you would have to find out who is behind these spam attacks and also what miners are doing to resolve the matter. < mining selectively to make it worst, so that they can push up the fees are not helping at all >
You were a bit too quick on the trigger to blame Core again. ^grrrrrrr^
