2. The bitcoin network is having a lot of traffic (many transactions - could be a spam attack as well)
Meec. Error.
Five transactions per second are not "a lot of transactions" for the current Bitcoin network.
Affirming this is a joke.
Anyone who knows a little of computers, hardware and software knows that the current problem is not bandwidth, spam/DDoS attacks or storage space.
The only fucking problem is two lines of code.
The arbitrary, deliberate and corrupt 1MB block limit.
Bitcoin is in high danger.
We are approaching the irreversible point.
