A bitcoin hardfork is now necessary!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now will be a great time time to implement the hard fork on bitcoin. I am therefore appealing to the developers of bitcoin to work on the block size limitations and segwit features.

Dear users,
BTC network congestion is becoming worse with almost 200 000 transactions awaiting confirmation. The miners prioritize transactions with the highest fees and, as a result, transactions with low fees are stuck for up to a few days. Today’s (17.05.2017) average Bitcoin transaction fee nears 2.50 USD. It is still unclear what is causing the congestion.
More information: http://www.newsbtc.com/
As a temporary solution, we are raising the withdrawal fees for BTC withdrawals to 0.0014 to cover the recommended network fees in order to ensure safe and fast transactions. The withdrawal fee will be updated upon future changes to the network average. The rate at which transactions are slowing down on the blockchain is overwhelming.
We strongly recommend you to consider postponing BTC withdrawals or purchases via BTC until the congestion clears.
We kindly ask you to refrain from raising support tickets as we will not be able to provide any comments on this issue because it is out of HashFlare's control.
I also encourage all to join in the campaign to alert the developers of the bitcoin to improve on the blockchain technology. Upvote this post, resteem, share
Hasn't it been for a year?
Yep
