I have electrum portable wallet, I have dynamic fees and the highest possible fee multiplier, but despite that my transactions always get stuck.  https://blockchain.info/tx/ee7a7373bed2c8ae9f66f30635335266fa32d687bdc95292f6f72874dde85560   - this transaction has been pending for more than 2 days and I don't know what to do.  How do I fix my electrum wallet, do I change the server that it uses to get the dynamic fee? I tried sending .045 btc 2 days ago but it is still unconfirmed, what do I do?  Thank you in advance for your help.

Are you using the latest version of Electrum? The latest version handles fees differently.

There was a bug in older electrum versions that could result in the highest dynamic fee electrum allows being too low for fast confirmations. Either upgrade to the latest electrum version, or try using the fix in the post linked below. Basically opening your preferences, then unchecking and rechecking the dynamic fees checkbox fixes that bug. However, I'm not sure that bug's causing your problem because it results in a maximum fee of 0.001 BTC/KB, but your transaction has a 0.0005 BTC/KB fee.

If that bug fix doesn't work you'll have to upgrade, it's best to upgrade anyway though.

I accelerated your transaction using the site linked below. The viabtc pool will now include your transaction in the next block it mines.

You can check how often viabtc mines a block at this link.

If you are not sure whether you client estimate the fees well, you could check https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ to see the fastest fees. If not, you could adjust the fees easily.
