I can try & push it through for you if you want on the Free Via Bitcoin Transaction Accelerator. Title: Re: Is current confirms time, mempool depth normal?

We will take a look at the fee. You probably used a low fee, and now with all this volatility and the crazy times we are living the network is quite busy. You should use a higher fee for a fast confirmation. But your transaction will eventually get confirmed. Title: Re: Is current confirms time, mempool depth normal? Been waiting all day on a confir Post by: avikz on March 26, 2020, 06:47:18 AM 64000 unconfirmed transactions in any given time, is not normal. The usual number of unconfirmed transaction is around 10k - 12k. However, sometimes we see a dip and sometimes we see an increase in numbers on unconfirmed transactions. But 64k is quite high. If you have initiated a transaction and still showing as unconfirmed, please try some free bitcoin transaction accelerator found via Google search. I don't know how much helpful will it be, but there's no harm in trying at least!

I don't think that transaction accelerators work.The transaction will eventually get confirmed,but OP will have to wait.I remember that there were lots of unconfirmed transactions back in the winter 2017-2018.Back then,there were conspiracy theories about the BTC miners sending lots of spam transactions,making the blockchain stuck and forcing users to increase the transaction fees in order to increase the confirmation time. This theory wasn't proven by anyone.The current BTC price stays stable at 6,6K USD,so I guess that there's no panic selling. Title: Re: Is current confirms time, mempool depth normal?

Well, it does help... I used ViaBTC's free tx accelerator numerous times in the past, aswell as antpool's... ViaBTC accepts a limited amount of transactions, but if they promise to include you into one of the next blocks they solve, they do exactly that (or at least, they did exactly that the last time i used them, it was a while ago tough). I think antpool just increases your priority a little bit, so if you grossly cheaped out on your fee, they'll still not include you in their next block. That being said, your other options are perfect aswell:
