The transaction fee is dependent on the size in bytes of the transaction, not the actual amount being transacted. We need to know what the transaction ID of your transaction is to actually know what is wrong with it.

120 satoshis per byte is good enough, wait few more hours and in the night it will go through. Next time make a 'replace by fee' transaction so you could speed it up.

ViaBTC's transaction accelerator still seems to work for me, although they don't seem to hit as many blocks as I'd like. Still worth a shot, link is here: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

I tried that but there is always error: Transaction does not exist

Maybe mistyped or dropped from the mempool? I think the latter is less possible but it could've happened. I tried bumping it for you but the same thing happens.... Again, RBF if you really need your tx to arrive, or wait for a few more hours.

Fee you paid is pretty good. Nothing wrong there. Its just the network of bitcoin, getting bigger and bigger everyday.

I've been waiting for my bitcoin transaction to get 5 confirmations for hours, though I paid pretty big fee.

Only thing you should do is to have patience, I personally don't think that the ViaBTC's accelerator actually works, at least it didn't seem to boost the speed the last time I tried them.

It looks like the transaction didn't make it into ViaBTC's mempool.

If anyone wants to re-push the transaction to the network, here's the raw transaction:

Code:

0100000001388cc29a41d404d1a53c4f1e7df9a94e9c170a867fbd81cfce38bcd443c2dfc1170000006b483045022100ae096f1dd43665b7cadc7b374c06cd6279eda8dddac73c47f825f507f3adeb9502201be9f0dc8cc9e06a7c2656c22ab3e74ed0b1ceee47a13c2850ce7207cd4d79ed012103ea5e68b4e1ea4339826950714e1ed2a058f033b80d4ba6b621aa83bda909fb74ffffffff0270030000000000001976a9145410e648bb9976251687d0ac0d12a32e26de609188ac60ef1400000000001976a91424311cee23fc961f3f4c1d9cd7685a0762ce602a88ac00000000

It spends this output:
https://blockchain.info/tx-index/242798499/23

(That's output 23 from transaction c1dfc243d4bc38cecf81bd7f860a179c4ea9f97d1e4f3ca5d104d4419ac28c38)
