Couple of days ago i sent 600$ with 2$ miner fees instead of 100$ +
is it going to be ever confirmed  ?  EST TIME ?

Yes it will be confirmed eventually. I really don't know when though, most likely when the transaction queue lessens and calms down a bit. Currently, we have around 100,000 unconfirmed transactions which is still a lot, but still better than the 200,000 unconfirmed transactions a few days ago. If you really need the bitcoin as soon as possible though, your best bet would be to lookup some of those transaction accelerators; It's going to cost you some bitcoin though.

Bitcoin network is currently clogged, we've got tons and tons of people trying to use the network (as the price is hitting massive highs) and this causes fees to skyrocket, probably making your low fee TX less appealing to miners who are trying to make their living.

Would you be able to post your TX here so we can all try and push it through a TX accelerator?

If you'd like you can even do it by yourself. - https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

Yours and my estimated times are not going to be accurate in terms confirmation time for Bitcoin transactions. The network has grown really busier in the last several days as the value of Bitcoin has appreciated faster than ever. This will become even busier as additional people are going to be finally convinced of the real-life and not bubble-based value of Bitcoin. They will eventually add to the existing Bitcoin network traffic.

Even the exchanges experiencing the lag of the Bitcoin network, they emailed me about the current situation on Bitcoin and also on the exchanges which leads to the system down time, time out or lag for the exchanges,  I don't know exactly what will happen on the coming days, but i hope your transaction will get confirmed eventually. Let's trust the Bitcoin Network and the miners, Let's hope that this issue will be resolved as soon as possible.

I also have a transaction that is un-confirmed since 22 hours, I am desperately waiting for its confirmation. I dont know if its processing issue or what !

You have to wait patiently for a week.

If you only paid $2 it may take several days or maybe even 1 week. That is a disadvantage of bitcoin.  Slow transactions!

Not necessarily. There are services that accelearate the transactions for free or at least they do it for small transactions. confirmTX is one of them. I used it once and I was happy with the results. Maybe there are more.

Word of caution though, there was rumour that the owners of that service are not cristal honest. Do your own research and make up your mind :)

Low transaction fee... .

It will confirm, just going to take a lot of time though. miners prefer to process the tx with higher fees first. if you'd like to speed up your tx then use accelerator.

Did the Bitcoin transaction ever get confirmed?  You paid such a low fee I am wondering how long it takes for a transaction to confirm lol.
