It seems you havent tipped well enough. Your fee is too low (120bytes) because of that, your transaction is never going to be confirmed.

I accelerated your transaction on https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
So expect your transaction to get confirmed within next 12 hours :)
Also that 120 sat/byte is not enough, if you check https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ you will see that on that fee range there are quite many transactions stuck.

Wrong. It will get confirmed because i just accelerated it, also as long as some client keeps rebroadcasting the transaction it will remain in the mempool. Please do not spread FUD.

It wasn't wrong while i was typing my piece. I know it because my post stands above your post.

OP, your transaction is probably get confirmed because someone helped you, your lucky day 8)

Still if your client keeps rebroadcasting the transaction it will remain on mempool, if none is broadcasting it, it will drop from mempool at around 72 hours. But you are right, it might end up never confirming if no one is broadcasting it, which is why i think this transaction problem needs to be solved. Currently the transactions fees are way too high which makes bitcoin impractical for micro transactions which it was basically made for.

It isn't so much the "low" fee... although that won't be helping... the REAL problem is that your transaction is at the end of a chain of unconfirmed transactions:

until BOTH of those transactions are confirmed, there is precisely ZERO chance of your transaction confirming...

Given that the first one in the chain (the 0a8405 one) uses a 22 sat/byte fee... the chances of that particular transaction confirming any time soon is relatively small... your best bet is to try submitting that one to the ViaBTC accelerator... but given the current state of the network, the accelerator is getting hammered pretty hard, so you're going to have to keep trying every hour.

Once that one gets submitted... then try and submit the next one... and once that goes... try submitting yours.

If you own the addresses to all transactions or you started the original chain of addresses, and Child Pay for Parent is allowed in your client. It is possible for you to send a new transaction using the outputs with a much higher fee, such that you essentially pay for all the previous txes too.
