I'm not sure what, but yes, there is something strange going on with BTW. I had a transaction take 4 days to get 1 confirmation. And more than 24 hours later, still 1 confirmation.
Would not be surprising if there was one large miner (or to purely speculate, maybe a mining contract purchased by the network creators that recently ran out) and all of the sudden the network hash rate is super low, and without any BCH-like EDA, the network could slog along like this for months and months. Because BTW is already little used, this may be the nail in the coffin. We'll have to wait and see.
UPDATE on my BTW transaction:
It has now been 8 days, and I have 3 confirmations.
It looks like there were 2 mining pools supporting BTW (uupool & vvpool). uupool seems to have dropped mining it all together, and vvpool has very little hash power for BTW.
It's not looking good for BTW.
My transaction is stuck between the Pie Wallet and the Pie Exchange. I'm not sure how many confirmations I need before I can trade. It says "more than 2 needed". Wow!!!... That's not very specific.
It sure would be nice to see someone point their mining rig at BTW.
If you have a GPU mining rig, please mine BTW for a week or 2. That should do it.... At least for me. :-)
(yes, I know... Why would someone burn all the electricity just for me?)
(Well, you never know. There are some nice miners out there.)
(And they will make some BTW along the way.)
