Re: 173000 unconfirmed transactions, 13 transactions per second

There are still at least 13 transactions per second being requested.  I'm assuming this is an attack on the network, inflating fees for legitimate users in order to make BCH look more attractive.  Is there any way this can be mitigated?  Whoever is doing it doesn't have any disincentive to make them stop, they can just be sending coins to themselves with tiny or no fees, and most of the trns will time out (if that's the correct term).

If you reload this page the tps changes on each reload, anyone have a page with a dynamic count of transactions per second?

13 to 30, depending on reloads:

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

vs around 3 tps actually being processed

https://blockchain.info/charts/transactions-per-second

Sorry if I've gotten the details wrong here, please correct me if so.

People, please stop quoting blockchain.info. This site is broken. The transaction rate is smaller than the clearing rate, hence it cannot be 13 tps. I monitor it on my node and blockchain is completely bogus. See, https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#24h for the correct data.

There is no "attack". Please stop spreading misinformation.
