I sometimes check the address
https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactionsTo see current status of unconfirmed transactions in the BTC blockchain, and i currently see that the average (for the past 24 hours?) has been 29.6 transactions/second.
If the BTC network is limited to around 5 transactions/second how is this possible? I reckon there is some calculation error in the website, is this it?
The number of transactions that can be
CONFIRMED is an average of about 5 transactions/second.
The number of
unconfirmed transactions that can be SENT is MUCH higher. Certainly hundreds. Probably thousands.
