Weird experience. I’m used to the 20 minute confirmation time. I just did a transaction and it’s confirming very slowly, almost 30 minutes now for 10 confirmations.

Was there some protocol change?

      This makes some sense to me as more of a feeling without digging up enough data to confirm the suspicion, but I’d love others with more expertise to chime in.

      Isn’t part of the price>miners>hash>confirmation feedback loop you’re suggesting typically accompanied by corresponding upticks or downticks in interest, use and transaction volume as well?

      Plus, I thought the dynamic block size and dynamic fees usually helped smooth this out and keep the confirmation times within a relatively predictable range of upper and lower bounds.

      as the price of XMR dips, the miners reduce, and the hashrate reduces

      and difficulty takes some time to adjust, hence confirmation times are longer. I don’t remember the exact numbers off the top of my head but it is not instantaneous.
