Submit the txid here.

Next time, use a .001 btc fee.

It says my transaction fee is too low... any other way to speed it up? Also, what is the absolute longest a transaction will take to confirm may i ask?

 Which is actually too low to guarentee a fast transaction any more.

If you wallet let's you spend unconfirmed inputs then you can try to make a new transaction and put a higher fee! Like 7-8 higher than average.

It worked out for me after I've put 2$ transaction fee

What wallet are you using? Can you post the txid? If you can't do CPFP like described above (too small amount transferred, perhaps) then you can attempt to double spend the transaction after it gets dropped by most nodes (which should happen after 3 days unless you're rebroadcasting it).

The fee should depend on the size of your transactions btw. Not the amount of btc.

You could try double-spending the transaction if your wallet allows that with a higher fee, just make sure that you aren't re-broadcasting it.
