What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
The mempool transaction log bulids and the fee to to mine a transaction goes up. -
How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
As the number of transactions waiting in the mempool raises the cost to add transactions in the mempool goes up.

The memepool is essentially a list of unconfirmed transactions that each node in the network has a copy of. These transactions are awaiting miners to add them to a block and append them to the blockchain. This is how they become confirmed. The memepool is constantly updating as new transactions are coming in while others are added to the blockchain.
-
If the rate of new transactions coming through the network becomes difficult for a miner to keep up with, the memepool will become backed up and people will pay higher fees to get their transactions confirmed quicker.
-
As the memepool grows, miners become more selective when choosing which transactions to add to a block as transactions with higher fees are more worth their time. If someone is eager to get their transaction confirmed quickly, they will need to pay a fee large enough to be worth the miner’s time.

A mempool is a list of all unconfirmed transactions that occur in the bitcoin network.
-
If miners cant keep up with the rate of the new transactions this will lead to a grow of transactions in the mempool which negatively impacts fees and confirmation times.
-
Due to the fact that miners are financially encouraged, the miners will naturally prioritize the transactions that incur the highest fees leading to a situation of who pays the highest fee in order to be considered into the next block

A data structure of a node that contains a list of unconfirmed transactions. - What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
The transactions with the lowest fees will stay in the mempool. The miners will only focus on the transactions with the highest fees. The miners prioritize based on the high of the fees (incentive is higher for the miner). - How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
The wallets will increase the fees in the default mode for new unconfirmed transactions. Only than there is a chance that the miners will pick up the transactions and put it into a block. In this way you can speak of a ‘fee competition’ that increases the fees for the new unconfirmed transactions.

Homework on Mempool - Questions

What is the mempool?
Mempool is the number of transactions pending. A mempool chart shows fees in colors on the Y axis and time on the X axis. This is a data structure of unconfirmed transactions and fees that can be read by all nodes. -
What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
The miner is incentivized by highest fees of transactions. If miners can’t keep up the number of transactions will continue to grow in the mempool. -
How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
The more transactions in the mempool the higher the fees will be to complete the transaction.

The mempool is a list of unconfirmed transaction. Sort of like a purgatory or waiting place for transactions to collect and prepare to be loaded into blocks by miners.
-
The transaction fee or the gas fee increases and the highest paying transactions get added to the block first due to the miners financial incentive to make profit.
-
I’m not sure on which way to view your question? For example, do you mean more miners? If so, then is would lessen fee’s as it would create more capacity. Or do you mean transaction volume and growth in customers? This would make transactions more expensive relative to the miners.

Miners don’t increase the capacity. The only thing that would change in that case is the difficulty would go up

What is the mempool?
The mempool is where unconfirmed transactions wait for a miner to pick them up to add to the next block.
What happens if the miners can’t keep up with the rate of the new transaction?
The Mempool grows larger causing longer transaction times.
How does a growing mempool effect transaction fees?
Transaction fees will increase with a larger mempool. Due to the competition to get the transaction to the next block, larger fees are offered to miners to get the transaction picked first.

A growing Mempool may mean that fees increase too.

the mempool describes how many transactions that are unconfirmed and the fees that they have.
if the miners cant keep up with the rate of the new transaction they will ask other nodes about their mempool then build a block on the blockchain which now makes then transaction confirmed.
the growing mempool will effects the tranaction fee because the miner will pick the node that has the higher fee to confirm the transaction.

The mempool is a pool of all unconfirmed transactions in the Bitcoin network waiting to be added to the next Block
-
If miners can’t keep up with the rate of new transactions the mempool increases in size, and only the transactions with the highest fees will be able to be included in the next block
-
The larger the mempool becomes, the higher the fees will become to get your transaction through, if you pay a really low fee, when there is a huge backlog your transaction could get stuck for a long time.

The mempool is where transactions reside which have not yet been taken by a miner into a block. Each miner has a mempool, and mempools will differ slightly between nodes simply because of the time it takes for a transaction and its changes in status to propagate in the network.
If transactions are arriving faster, the mempool will increase in size, beyond the ten minute cycles that occur because of block formation.
A growing mempool is likely to increase the proportion of transactions with higher fees, so the time taken for processing a transaction with a given lower fee will on average be longer. Fees, will in effect rise in order to maintain the same level of service in a larger mempool.

1. The mempool is where the data on transactions are stored by the nodes for consensus, until a new block is made by a miner.
2. If the miners can’t keep up with new transactions, the transactions take longer to verify causing the mempool to grow.
3. The size of the fees increase with the size of the mempool.
