Post by: TheRishabhAnand on January 05, 2018, 06:45:45 AM
Hey everyone,

I have made a transfer of 0.18136683 btc yesterday and I have already been charged a fees of around 0.002 btc ( 32$ ) i.e. 273.669 sat/B
via blockchain.info 's wallet.
This fees was set as default in the wallet. Its been more than 12 hours now since my transaction is stuck. Please help me or guide me what I should be doing?

Well it looks like it confirmed about an hour and a half ago. Anyway, with that fee, you need not have worried at all. It wasn't exactly a high fee, according to https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ it should have taken 12 hours (or rather, would have had a 90% chance of confirmation in that time frame). This shifts depending on the mempool, if it grows, it takes longer, if it reduces, it becomes shorter.

It took 827 minutes after transaction was made, so the estimator was off by about 100 minutes, that's as accurate as it can get these days!
