dropped a message to them. how much should i be looking at to get my tx confirmed faster ? $20 , $30, $50 or more ?
Last year quickSeller charged ahmedjadoon 0.0001 BTC for one transaction, but you have about 17 extra parent transactions for each of your transactions. If he charged the same rate you would pay 0.0018 to confirm one of your transactions and all its parents. However, the fees required to deal with today's backlog are higher than last year's,so he'd probably ask for more.
I faced a similar issue a few days back transaction not getting confirmed due to low fee but user "QuickSeller" got my transaction confirmed in minutes when I sent him 0.0001 BTC. He has access to some pool . PM him.
They can get F2Pool to confirm your transaction, so when it mines another block your transaction will probably get confirmed. You can see the times it mined its latest blocks here.
https://blockchain.info/blocks/F2PoolThe number of unconfirmed transactions in the network has dropped from over 200000 to about 150000. If it continues dropping your transactions might confirm by themselves, but if it goes back up again you are either in for a long wait, or the network will forget abut your transactions.
