You probably sent it to an exchange? We need more details to help you, wallet addresses? Wallet used, exchanges involved, transactions id.

Not sure if you can post outside of this board but try posting in a more relevant subforum

I bought something in shop and payment always works. It's not first time, but this (last) transaction can't be confirmed since 5 days or more now.

Did you used a good amount of fee this time?

It was like 1% of total. Always was 1% and wasn't any problem with fast confirmation. Usually it took a few minutes.

Since you are new, you need to understand that there is no sure thing as 1% of total = fast confirmation or that usually it took a few minutes.

The tx you gave had a fee of 120 sats per byte, which will never be confirmed from my observations for at least another probably never.

120 sats per byte has never been confirmed in minutes for months.

For the correct cheapest fees to use at any point in time, consult https://bitcoinfees.21.co.

I always recommend at least 320 sats/byte for next 5 blocks transactions these past weeks

Where did you make the payment from though? Bitcoin.info web wallet? Bitcoin core? Multibit HD? Electrum?

Paste the TXID 55e6c80b3eb63331878c1d4f2d88a01349be3cbb7a10e9897159070b4ae3c9ea & type in the captcha at https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ then hit Submit at exactly xx:00:00 (<19 minutes from now)

You can try submitting anytime, just that the viabtc accelerator has a limit on the number of txes they will accelerate which resets at the start of every hour, which means your chances of getting a successful acceleration is higher

Acceleration succeed. What's now? Just wait? Can I see anywhere that really accelerated my transaction?

you don't have to do something more, once viabtc found few blocks your transaction will be included on it (hopefully not too much transaction are sent to them and yours will be included in the very next block they mine)

Well seeing that your tx with a pretty low fee was mined in block 468071 by ViaBTC according to  https://blockchain.info/block-index/1511141.

I would say it worked.
