Title: Any idea how long will it take for this transaction to confirm?
Post by: Get-Paid.com on June 20, 2019, 07:19:11 AM
According to Bitcoinfees.earn.com it should take 70 minutes but it has taken longer so far:

It's confirmed: 114 minutes :P

Expected confirmation times are always an estimate, and depend mainly on how many other Bitcoin users make transactions with a higher fee than you paid, and it depends on luck: miners sometimes take longer to find a new block.

I always add my BTC transaction to a Bitcoin accelerator for free and very often the transaction is processed very quickly. For instance https://bitaccelerate.com/ (https://bitaccelerate.com/)  http://confirmtx.com/ (http://confirmtx.com/)

Meh, the only working free/paid accelerator online that I know is viaBTC, others are fakes or rebroadcaster marketed as accelerator.

Your examples:
bitaccelerate isn't an accelerator, they unintentionally self-confessed that they are using the term "accelerate" incorrectly through this message on their page:
Quote from: bitaccelerate.com
Our service will rebroadcast the transaction via 10 Bitcoin nodes.
confirmtx is probably a scam and their thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2256407.100) has been receiving a lot of warnings and bad experiences from users.

If you are not in a hurry just wait it out, when the mempool empties out your transaction will be confirmed. If you are in a hurry add a higher Sat/Byte fee.
And you can also use the RBF method and just increase the fees for your unconfirmed transactions anytime.
