Hi Guys,

I have a transaction I sent via my electrum wallet and it's coming up 24hrs unconfirmed, I just let it choose the fee and have never had an issue before, can someone please look at the transaction, does it look like the fee is too low?

I was using an old version of Electrum without the RBF option so I don't know how to resend with a higher fee if that is the issue. I have the new version of Electrum now.

Yes, it's too low. The fee is 50satoshi/byte and the recommended fee (according to https://bitcoinfees.21.co/) is 100satoshi/byte.
I'm almost sure that it'll be confirmed in less than 24 hours. No guarantee though.

I think it was a low transaction fee. I would have put around 90 to 100 satoshi per byte for this transaction as it is quite high price. However, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It should be confirmed soon. Next time, just put a higher transaction fee, especially for a decent sum of BTC like 0.11.

The fee required doesn't increase with the sum of BTC. In fact the priority gets higher with the sum.
