    My ethereum transaction story for today:

    Time FirstSeen:6 hrs 2 mins ago (Jul-15-2018 09:31:42 AM)
    Estimated Confirmation Duration:~ 5 hrs : 16 mins : 33 secs

    Lesson - always check the GAS requirements be3fore accepting the default GWEI in MEW.....

    I would have happily spent a few pennies for a faster transaction.

      What is not mentioned in the link is DRGN integration with Amazon AWS.
      Thanks - if the ETH blockchain decides to process my transaction to KuCoin I'll buy some.

          ETH transactions are currently taking a looooong time costing muchooo gas.

          Summary
          ETH being cobbled by Chinese FCoin exchange 'wash trading'* shenanigans and crowdfunded EOS, some believe as a deliberate attack by EOS to cripple competitor ETH.

          *A wash trade is a form of market manipulation in which an investor simultaneously sells and buys the same financial instruments to create misleading, artificial activity in the marketplace.

          Technical Detail From 'Somewhere'
          Today, 40% of the ethereum's network is being used by this contract
          https://etherscan.io/address/0x98b4c...f567d1166c9483
          A beautiful and innovative copy-paste of a default ERC20 standard token called "IFishYunYu" with no features. (So it does nothing.)

          Yet miraculously, it seems tons of "unique" accounts are transferring massive volumes of this token constantly, almost 50 ETH of gas an hour have been steadily used for nearly 24 hours now. Just to transfer individual tokens to the Fcoin exchange. But of course. The exchange is just a red herring to distract you from what's really happening.

          Let's see what the creator of this contract has been up to recently.
          https://etherscan.io/tx/0xd0e334dca7...6fc6fb2885c654
          Looks like he minted nearly 5 Billion Ifish tokens about 12 days ago...
          to this account
          0x45f64a7148d1cfeded427dd4380b458877e7ce56
          which split it up across
          10 or so accounts, that each do this
          https://etherscan.io/token/0x98b4ca8...2988daf0bbbf3b
          splitting it up across 500-600 accounts each.

          Which are, the mystery "unique" accounts that are spamming the eth network. So yeah, it's one guy, it's the creator of the token. He was doing it during the previous Fcoin exchange competition too. He's running a multi-sided scheme, he even has bots running "wash" accounts. Like
          https://etherscan.io/address/0xa67ef...1bcd#tokentxns
          which is pretty cool, it just shoves the token into other accounts, and then those accounts shove it into other accounts, and then back to the big main account to simulate volume on the token itself. Try following a transaction, you'll come right back to the big-daddy account.

          most importantly on why is this being done?
          Let's see what one of the accounts funding all this eth might be doing
          https://etherscan.io/token/0x86fa049...aab24ab690dbdb
          gee, that sure is a lot of crowdfunded EOS, hundreds of thousands to be exact. From an account that seems to receive large sums of eos and immediately market sell them for thousands of ETH, which is then distributed out to contracts like this.

                  Anyone else feeling just a little bit excited this morning?
                  BTC count for a 1-2 down has been invalidated so we're looking to be impulsing upwards now.
                  Alts pumping nicely and not all dumping when BTC goes up
