When I wrote there were 563,708 tx bitcoin that had not been confirmed.
I just realized that transaction fees have increased, but I'm not completely worried if this is a normal case. On the other hand, a similar case occurred a while ago which caused the mempool to congested due to spam attacks, these are things that I'm worried about given that there hasn't been a really agreed upon solution to stop the attack.

I myself don't really know what the best solution is at the moment, but this case might be more concerning because it won't stop. This is clearly annoying, I hope there will be a best solution to overcome it which will then be mutually agreed upon.


is it possible that if the blocks are not confirmed, then the halving will be delayed?
Halving will still occur regardless of mempool congestion. The mempool congestion will simply change the timing, meaning the halving will take longer than previously predictions.
