Need help regarding pending transaction (waiting for it to be mined)

[btlaccs]

I'm a newbie to bitcoin, so I made my first transaction with bitcoin today, yaay... So now the problem is I am waiting for it to be confirmed for a few hours now... I think i made a mistake because i put a very low fee(0.0000226 fee of 0.0178098 transaction = 0.00010044444444444445 BTC per kB rate)... How long should i wait approx. for it to be mined? Can I do anything to make it complete faster? Could i send my transaction id w/ other details to some miner and he would mine it for me? Thanks for the help guys, any info is appreciated much!

How long should i wait approx. for it to be mined?

Impossible to predict.  Anywhere from a few days to never.

Can I do anything to make it complete faster?

Yes.

Could i send my transaction id w/ other details to some miner and he would mine it for me?

Yes, but he might also require that you pay for the service.

Fees under 0.0001BTC total are not really advised lately.
However, the network usage is very light now so you may have a chance to get your transaction processed.

With that fee it's VERY hard to tell. If it's under 18h you are very lucky.

There's a transaction accelerator that does it for free (https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/), but if the tx fee you've set is lower than a certain value they don't help either.
However, you have now the link, you can try it for yourself.

ViaBTC has minimum fee of 0.0001/kB so it should be accelerated smoothly, i wonder why is this tool not stickied yet because it is so useful in my opinion.
I have accelerated many stuck transactions with it.

I dont think that  ViaBtc is asking any fees to confirm the transaction acceleration. As lot of time i have accelerated my transaction ya but my fees are in 20k bitcoins. ViaBtc service is free but if you want to donate then you can do it.

ViaBTC is not asking for fees. However, if the tx fee of the transaction is under a certain limit (it may be 10 sat/byte) they don't accelerate it.
I know for sure because, for the heck of it, I tried last week-end a transaction with ~5 sat/byte
