Title: Electrum transaction haven't confirmed for a day
Post by: brownlind on January 05, 2017, 09:01:04 PM
Hi, I have sent two transactions yesterday, however it still shows unconfirmed today and it shows a low fee warning. Does it mean I lose my bitcoins forever? Is there anyway I can fix this? Those are the transaction ID.

No, you're not going to lose your bitcoins. Those transactions may take a while to confirm though.
If you're using dynamic fee then you should set higher fee next time, if you're not using dynamic fee then use it unless you know what you're doing.

Try submitting those txes to viabtc (https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/) so that they will mine those txes.

Usually, if you send a transaction that size with that fee, it is normally confirmed within around 10 hours.
Most/all transactions should really be confirmed at the moment within 24 hours (and there was an apparent maimum time of 7 days fr them to be confirmed in with no fee so yours will probably just take a little longer to sen (I estimate it should be within about 8 hours).
