I have 4 transactions which are over 24 hours old and not confirmed these are the numbers:

7cf798bbaa47d09e731b50ab0a43600e82bbe7d3139399420972c34f8240387d

5ec2ccd80e7f54fd32e6c8530c6d97307fc24c84575eb34f15de2f4cd61c8253

b07513a7b226acc067d8912c3cd9b30156d18d202aaa4b6b4b1d13fa5e453db8

0713e99c8ca5d1bb9528c6354c9551e7e036d6ef1d0c0fc6ea6f6c9a573ff480

They total around 1 btc, I sent them using the qr code and the blockchain app, I think in future given this is happening too often, I need to manually increase the fee on next send.

I have learned from the last time I was here how to check the fee and it looks like I paid

   0.0002712 BTC

I also know that there is a place here https://bitcoinfees.21.co/#fees that I can check fees but Im not sure what to do with these 2 pieces of information.

Im happy to wait another 24 hours for this to go through but I just get a little nervous when it has not been confirmed. I saw an accelerator in a previous post but it always seemed to be maxed out.

at this moment there are 134.824 transactions that wait to be confirmed with a size of 96.000.000 Bytes that are waiting to be confirmed
if you want to skip the queue and be first in line just make another transaction with 5$ at fee or you could ask a pool owner to include your transaction in the next block his pool will find!

Yes, the client you are using is underbidding the fees.  You are paying only 120 sat/byte.  You need to be paying at least 280 sat/byte, more if you want it to go through very fast.  So you need to at least double the fees you are currently paying.  If you triple the fees to 360 sat/byte your transactions should sail right through.

Thanks - sending again another transaction with a $5 fee seems to have pushed everything through. Ill email the guys who made the wallet and let them know but for now I will increase it manually.

They look to be pushed through now thanks

I understand this about higher fees, but to send transactions again I need again this exact sum, right? What if I don't have it in the wallet? Or can I resend the same one?
What I've noticed is that the problem is with blockchain web wallet because not sent, nor received transactions are not confirmed for a long time now and I don't have this problem with other wallets, no matter the fee.

Im the furthest thing from an expert but I just used the same app on my phone to send another transaction with a high fee and then everything was seen and approved within about 15 min. Cant help you with the science of it but it did work

Did you send the second transaction to the original address? Or another?

usually to have it confirmed right away i change the 2 with 5,6 or 7 

standard fee 0.0002712 BTC

Also always when you put a higher fee the miners will include your transaction in the next block Wink
