Transaction taking 15+ hours to confirm!

[laisbento]

I have an unconfirmed transaction and it's taking more than 15 hours to get ONE confirmation!

What's going on???   

I sent it through Blockchain

Your transaction pays a fairly low transaction fee, only 116 sat/byte whereas the current recommended transaction fee is 270 sat/byte according to https://bitcoinfees.21.co/. That is why it is taking so long.

Unfortunately, because you use blockchain.info's web wallet, there is not much that you can do. I highly recommend that you stop using their wallet and instead get a desktop wallet like Electrum in order to avoid this issue in the future. blockchain.info's fee estimation is basically nonexistent and seems to have a maximum of 120 sat/byte even though the recommneded is over twice that fee rate.

Many payments lately get long confirmation times. There has been recently various projects, who collapsed just because of this.

I'm starting to get worried... Almost 24 hours and nothing...
