Title: Why is this transaction blocked?
Post by: GODLIKE on March 27, 2016, 07:49:54 PM
I just made this transaction almost 2 hours ago: https://blockchain.info/tx/8f4d994f4df6e5b1c2180c1f3fd69af30a71bf714d84d023a7755e2ac6f7dd41

Says it's high priority, but despite this, it's still not confirmed, 0 confirmations.

Are the fees too low???

The real reason is that blocks are taking longer to be found, more than the average.

The fee was too low to get into the last block (25 mins ago) with the back log,
but the reason for the backlog is not the blocksize, but that blocks are taking longer than usual.

Just bad mining luck here.

Your tx should confirm within the next block or two.

Short answer: Yes. You can always get better information if you take a look at Blocktrail (rather than using Blockchain.info). If you take a look at your transaction now, the included fee is per KB is 0.00019790 BTC. This is just a tad above the low priority fee per KB of 0.00018342 BTC and quite below the recommended fee per KB of 0.00032494 BTC.

There's really no backlog. Block interval are unusual sometimes and people should be aware of this by now. In this case, the fee is well below the recommended one and it will take some time before it confirms.
