Your public key is what you use to request payment from other users. You don't need to worry if someone knows what your public key is because all they can do with it is send you Bitcoins.

This is my public key: 1PiTPWAfjDvAx4uMMSnNHWYM8Cv2QKSwUY


Your private key is what you use to manage the Bitcoins on your public key. Your wallet/client/computer must know what your private key is in order access your public key to pay someone. You do need to worry if someone knows what your private key because all someone needs to steal your bitcoins is your private key.

I was wondering when I could stop waiting 360 seconds.

Those transaction fees look way to small to be accepted by the blockchain quickly.

I've had transactions like those before, the best thing you can due is make sure to use a minimum fee of 0.0005, that way your transaction won't get lost.

When you use a fee of 0.0001, every other transaction that offers a miner 0.0005 to solve will get processed before yours.
Some miners won't even bother with a fee of 0.0001.

This is why it has taken you 20 days so far for the blockchain to try and pick it up.

Just give it some more time and the blockchain will sort it out.

Tulip mania was fueled by outrageous demand with no limit to supply. Bitcoin is fueled by outrageous demand with a limited supply.
