Title: Bitcoin transaction stuck for 7 days
Post by: prikaz on December 24, 2017, 03:27:19 AM
Hi, I made a payment in bitcoin to one of my employees, and it's been over 7 days since. Nothing's changed, it's still pending with 0 confirmations. The transaction was made through blockchain.info with regular fees as always. It usually took me 30-90 minutes. Now 7+ days.

This is the transaction. Can anyone here help me with a bit of info about what's going on? I know it takes longer, but still, should I be worried about my payments in the future?
Thanks in advance for your answers!

The mempool is full so 110 Satoshis per byte just isn't cutting it at the moment. You could try an accelerator like https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ (https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/) if you'd like.

I'd suggest getting your funds off of that shitstorm blockchain.info anyway. They have the worst security in the industry. No idea how they're still in business.

Use a wallet where you are the only one with access to your private key and where you can specify the fee.
