So i paid a fee that is like $13 and it still doesn't get confirmed after 8 blocks, why?

Where is the transaction id? How do you expect us to help you without any information?

Your transaction could have an unconfirmed parent or a size so high that it makes your fee looks low for the amount of bytes.

Here is the TX

I think you should calm down and wait another 1-2 hours if you do not receive money in another wallet then you send support for blockchain you will be solved. Good luck

just wait a little bit
i've experienced the same problem but they confirmed it after a while

Wow 13 dollars for a single transaction is crazy, why are you able to pay such that amount of money only for a transaction? It makes no sense, but i understand, you sent over $2800 and $13 is nothing compared to that amount. But who cares? transaction fees are higher than before now, and i am worried about it.
But if it does not get confirmed, just go to the services section and ask for a guy who can confirm yours, there are a lot of services like that in this forum, but it will cost you about five dollars.

Maybe Because
Your Transaction Size Is Too Big

Possible the speed of this transaction since you are not paying the default fee updated in https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/
You will experience of delay around 3 hours to 23 hours according to bitcoinfees
So if you really wanted your transaction to speed up just edit your fee and increase it to default or higher so that your transaction will not take longer time to get confirm..
I just try my mycelium right now with higher fee than the default my transaction confirm in couple of minutes..
Well your transaction is already confirmed and it should sent..

I see your transaction had 16 confirmations right now. Check your wallet.

That’s the problem with Bitcoin right now. The fees are getting too high and the transaction time is too long. I think eventually this will be a problem for Bitcoin and it could keep it from getting more widespread use. If it’s going to cost a lot of money to send Bitcoins, people will just buy and hold them to resell later for a profit. Bitcoin will also not be used for small payments.

Yes that fee is crazy. is that why they want to make bitcoin 2mb with 2x? and over time 8mb?

Bitcoin transaction fees have become outrageously high for a system that was supposed to free the world from the clutches of the big banks and corrupt governments.
