Title: Confirmation Unconfirmed in day 3?

 ???

OK So I have had a transaction going on for about three days now, and that's unusual at least for me. Here is the transaction:

Another one that I am wondering about: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/97aec33f501eb0ad1c90185884ece24adf59ef05e5b44e8793fa132303a3ccc6

Low fees are a common problem due to the network requiring higher fees currently. You can either wait until it confirms or drops and try and push the transaction.

These are incoming transactions. The site that is to accept them accepts them with only one confirmation, unlike say Coinbase that does so after 6 confirmations. Have you ever had such a backlog yourself?

Try to use the ViaBtc accelerator, the free acceleration is available every hour in the first second, there's 100 spot to take. If you are quick and lucky enough, you can accelerate your transaction for free. I've checked, both of the transactions have a kind of fee that would be enough in the normal days, but nowdays those fees are not enough.

If you manage to take one spot, your transaction will be confirmed usually in one hour and you'll have your 6 confirmations in a few hours max (usually). But be prepared that there are a lot of people waiting for that first second to take one of the hundred spots...
