@killerstorm I mean an economic effect because the value in unconfirmed txns is essentially frozen - it’s not safe to spend unconfirmeds.
3) These txns paid 20 sat / byte, well below where the current “floor” appears to be. Is someone abusing @YourBTCC’s BlockPriority service?
2) The 3 red clusters picture above are:
tradeblock.com/bitcoin/tx/fef…
tradeblock.com/bitcoin/tx/8b5…
tradeblock.com/bitcoin/tx/c7f…
All mined by @YourBTCC

@BTCoinInformer Looks like we’re coming up on 24 hours for some of the oldest ones.
@josephjpeters So… no effects? Will we never reach a critical threshold because users will simply stop sending transactions?
