Your transaction pays a fairly low transaction fee rate, only 120 sat/byte. According to https://bitcoinfees.21.co/, the current recommended transaction fee is 270 sat/byte, more than twice the fee rate you paid. Read https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0 for what you can do about your transaction.

Hello, thank you for your reply, but dont get my wrong but I used blockchain service with their reccomended fee which was 120 sat/byte. It looks that these days you need to be expert to put the optimal fee for every transaction. When I submited the transaction 4 days ago the transaction fee was much lower than 270 sat/byte.

blockchain.info's wallet and fee estimation (if they even have any, it doesn't seem they actually do) is complete garbage. I highly suggest that you stop using their wallet and use a desktop wallet like Electrum instead. With properly written wallet software like Electrum or Bitcoin Core (and not blockchain.info's wallet) you won't have many issues with transaction fee, and if you do, the wallet has sufficient advanced functionality to properly deal with it. You don't need to be an "expert" to use these software and they do everything for you in the background like blockchain.info, but they do it better and properly.

With blockchain.info, all you can do is wait and ask miners for help.

When I submited the transaction 4 days ago the transaction fee was much lower than 270 sat/byte.
The transaction fee rate has been above 200 sat/byte for the past several months.

No.  You don't need to be an expert.  You just need to use a well written wallet.

Blockchain.info has a reputation for poor quality.  They've had issues with bugs in the software, they've had issues with incorrectly calculating the necessary fees, they've had issues with their support being helpful at all.

I suggest you stop using blockchain.info and switch to a wallet that does a better job of managing your bitcoins and transactions.

You can start by looking at these:

achow101, DannyHamilton: Thank you for your responses guys, I already see that blockchain is a big mistake and I will switch to your reccomended wallets, but you also need to understand that there are lots of people like me who see their website and their claims that they are the biggest and best wallet in the world and also lots of other websites write about them positively. And if you need to do just 1-2 transactions per month, then its obvious choice for a lots of people.

Can you tell me, what can I do with the actual status of my transaction. I really need to make it completed, I dont know how exactly it works but I can pay someone some extra fee to PayPal for example to complete it. Sorry really dont know, how it goes here.

Thank you very much

All you can do is ask miners for help and wait. Read https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1914800.0

Thank you


I pushed your transaction through the viabtc transaction accelerator. Now the viabtc mining pool will confirm your transaction in the next block it mines. It mines blocks at random times. The page linked below shows the times of its last blocks. It usually gets at least a few every day.

How did you manage to do so? Everytime I try to push mine it says requests are beyond limit...

They only accept 100 requests per hour.

The re-set at the beginning of every hour.

If you don't try within the first few minutes of the hour, then 100 other people will have already tried and you will have to wait another hour to try again.

Your transaction now has five confirmations. After one more confirmation it will be fully confirmed, and the coins sent in it will become spendable.
