I sent money from my blockchain btc wallet somewhere but it hasnt confirmed after quite a while and im getting this warning ; "this transaction spends an input which is unconfirmed" Help? https://blockchain.info/tx/df1d61ba4248d502bec5ff542c19eee6cbe7c88d607af89ff5ab485ec1f3800f

Bitcoin transactions would only confirm if their inputs are included in a block already.

Your transaction has this input[1] (8961420f2c4d1912b2fae7b683d942b6b1cf4d359196163303560a2fd304e687) which isn't confirmed and that transaction has another input[2] that is unconfirmed (5e274a7990b268619346b37dc467c8a14dfaca13635367171d09bcf510a8fcd3).

Only when input[1] and input[2] are confirmed, your transaction will confirmed. Only when input[2] is confirmed, input[1] will confirmed. All of the transactions has a decent fee included so you shouldn't have to wait a long time.

If you open this link instead -> https://blockchain.info/tx/df1d61ba4248d502bec5ff542c19eee6cbe7c88d607af89ff5ab485ec1f3800f?show_adv=true
(notice the ?show_adv=true you enabled this view by clicking "Show scripts & coinbase")

you can see the inputs on the left. An unconfirmed inputs is marked with a small red U. If you click on the word "output" next to it you get to the unconfirmed transaction. Your transaction is a part of chain of unconfirmed transactions. As ranochigo said yours can only confirm if those before it are confirmed. These confirmations can be in the same block, but judging by the fee this might take some time and several blocks.

thank you
