Transaction unconfirmed since yesterday

[Doctor.Strange]

Hello,
I received a payment from my friend yesterday in mycelium wallet but its still unconfirmed. Showing 0 confirmations. Is there anyone who's facing the same issue?

That's not Mycelium's fault. According to Blockchain, we have almost 170k unconfirmed transactions in the mempool. Meanwhile, the fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 950 satoshis/byte[1] - which is pretty sad. You either need to pay an astronomical fee for fast confirmation or wait some time before seeing your transactions coming through.

The mempool right now:

Its not good, I think that's why devs need bch or B2x to increase the block size of btc, fastest transactions with low fee.
