Your fee isn't high enough to get fast confirmation. You're using 31.2 satoshi per byte and the recommended fee is 80sat/byte according to https://bitcoinfees.21.co/. That site also estimates your tx to be confirmed within 720 minutes or 12 hours (it probably won't take that long).

It might take a bit longer than usual as there is an unusual large amount of transactions waiting for a confirmation right now.

The bitcoin protocol needs some serious changes and management. The masses simply cannot use bitcoin with nonstop issues like these. Its been so slow you might as well send cash to merchant in snail mail.
