Clogged Network or Broken Network? Something isn't right!

Guys I can see so many unconfirmed transactions on the explorer… it’s moving very slow… does anyone know what is wrong ?

Hello, could you share information in pics or links or both to further explain this issue?

If you’re talking about our Insight Explorer’s front page, explorer.bitcoingold.org, it’s perfectly normal to see unconfirmed transactions show up on the front page.

Our explorer shows transactions as they are broadcast, but those transactions are waiting to be included in the next block. The same thing happens on other blockchains and other explorers, but not all explorers will show you that it was new transactions that are not yet in a block.

As soon as a block goes by, all those transactions are confirmed. I don’t see anything abnormal in the rate of blocks going by this morning around the time that you posted.

Probably I was getting impatient … thank you for your replies…

I am waiting for 2 hours and my transaction is still waiting for 0/2 confirmations

I don’t see how that’s possible. In my time zone, it’s now 12:44. We had eleven (11) blocks in the two hours prior to your post:

There’s something else going on. If you’d like assistance, feel free to share your transaction or your wallet address.

Otherwise, considering looking at https://explorer.bitcoingold.org and looking up your transaction/wallet, rather than looking at whatever service is telling you there are zero confirmations - that service is incorrect.
