My transactions have been pending for three days

[Dhammabrother]

Hi everyone,

I am new on blockchain and I have tried 4 transactions in 3 days. They are all small, ranging from 0,010 BTC to 0,050 BTC. I wanted to try if it works, hence the amounts are so small. When I sent it to bittrex, I saw no instruction for fees. The first transaction is already cancelled, because it wasn't confirmed.

Does anyone know how I can start trading?

Thanks

Ruud

Higher transaction fees are going to get your transaction approved faster. This is not typical however, the network has been sort of under strain lately, people say it's even under attack.

Sadly this, there are 200 000 transaction unconfirmed, so confirmation times are insanely long.
No other way to work around this than wait, you can try with higher fees altough it can not help much.

Thanks a lot guys. Can I speed up the process?

Viabtc doesnt seem to work as well. Submissions are beyond limit.

One of the transactions has just been canceled by the way. My security center at that time still didnt have 2FA.
