Blockchain moving slow?

This afternoon I made 2 purchases of BTC. One with circle, one through LBC. The second (LBC) transaction finished with 3 confirmations within 40 minutes, but the circle transaction has yet to have a single confirmation. Still sitting on "Very Soon (High Priority)", but nothing. Just seeing if anyone else is experiencing any issues.

No. The blockchain isn't slow. Its about 11 minutes per confirmation as I type this https://blockchain.info/charts/median-confirmation-time

But for some reason there was a massive spike of transactions in the "mempool" waiting to be confirmed today. It shot up to 40,000 https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count?timespan=60days

Very strange. I wonder what's going on? That's alphabay size.

EDIT. All the recent blocks have been full, 999kb etc https://blockchain.info/ look at the top of the page, most recent blocks.

I could watch that ticker all day
