Yes, it's another one of those "my blockchain.info transaction is stuck" posts. But this is a decent chunk of change!
On May 20th I attempted to send myself 3btc from my blockchain wallet to an outside exchange, and was planning on holding those 3 coins as an investment at the start of the price frenzy. Well, in my idiotically timed, OCD-induced zeal to receive exactly 3btc on the other end, I slightly lowered the default fee so I could receive the round number of coins. At the time I didn't realize that a) a severe bottleneck was in the works and b) reducing the fee carries the risk of severely reducing transaction time. Lesson learned. Maybe try learning with smaller transfers next time?
Anyway, here's the transaction:

I tried signing up for viabtc's accelerator, but got the "submissions are beyond limit" error. So yeah, beyond moving away from blockchain in the future, what else can I do to fix my problem now? Blockchain's useless support says the transaction should be dropped within 7 days, but yeah that doesn't seem to be happening, so...
