Damn. With a transaction fee that high I'd expect it to be confirmed within hours. Sucks that it still isn't confirmed after a day. Your best bet would be to try to use transaction accelerators[1][2], even though I'm pretty sure that transaction would be confirmed soon due to the fee being quite high. Suggestion: Next time, probably use a wallet that supports SegWit.

According to fork.lol, the average transaction fee is over 400 sat/B (and this is just the average, that means the quickest transactions are using higher fees. If you have a look at blockchain.info chart https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-state-by-fee-level you can see that the priority line for the transactions is 391 sat/B which means that the transaction will be included in the next block. The regular fee is 219 sat/B so you have a high chance to get confirmed in some hours. If you won't have confirmation in some hours, try the accelerators. ViaBTC works at every full hour for a couple of seconds, they offer 100 free spot for transactions, which is usually filled in a few seconds, you have to be quick and sharp.

How do you tell when those free spots are open, and why their paid service is not working neither?

When you copy-paste the transaction ID to ConfirmTX.com dcafd6a2708bd7a626382aee0df40c29c011df137d6b1335418651f40a1f8c74 You get a message: Thank you for order (order #invoice000383, payment #2491). Awaiting transaction/payment confirmation
When this should update? Any idea?

As far as I can see, the transaction is not yet confirmed. I know it is frustrating to wait for more than a day, even after paying such a huge amount as the transaction fee. But right now, our options are limited. BTW, how much did you paid to get the transaction accelerated?

We paid around $5 to ConfirmTX.com but it seems like this site is not reliable anymore, the status of the payment (via Bitcoin Cash) shows: Thank you for order (order #invoice000383, payment #2491). Awaiting transaction/payment confirmation
The other option ViaBTC.com doesn't work for free or with a "Paid Option" (you can try it yourself as well, copy-paste the transaction ID to ConfirmTX.com or ViaBTC.com and you would see the error messages we get). Anyway - bottom line - For how long Bitcoin will be so unreliable?

Which wallet supports SegWit? Why Blockchain.info wallet doesn't support it? What's the reason?

Yours got confirmed, ours hasn't - does it make any sense?! Unfortunately, miners pick and choose which transactions to include in a block and for some reason yours is not being chosen. Looking at the mempool, it should get confirmed some time today unless there's something wrong with it. In the future, its best to use replace by fee to make sure a transaction can be unstuck.

I used a SigWit wallet and paid 0.0075 fee so maybe about $12-$13 which is less then you and it was almost instant. I'm not sure why yours is taking long that's strange. Are you using a SigWit wallet? Still... Even with one the fees are crazy high. Too high. I use to like having the freedom to make many small transactions now I find I must think out and plan for my purchases more then before because of the fee so bundling items is cheaper.

How do you use replace by fee in the first place? Is it possible to do it with a Blockchain.info wallet?

We use a Blockchain.info wallet, and according to this: https://bitcoincore.org/en/segwit_adoption/Blockchain.info adopted Segwit but it doesn't seem like they really do.
Which segwit wallet do you use? And why Bitcoin is so unreliable? It looks like we have to pay $150 in fees to get a transfer made but this is too expensive for a SME like our site: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2645491.0

Thanks, we've just tried confirmtx.com [1] because the other link is not working [2].
I hope people would just stop pointing/referencing to confirmTX that service has been confirmed as scam, many times over by a few users your tx has 327.753 sat/B fee, quite close to today's recommended network fee, it should be confirmed less than a day as a business you should try batch grouped payments to your users to save on fees and time

You realize the transaction is from Friday (Jan 5) and we're already on Sunday (Jan 7)? Does it make sense a transaction of 327 sat/B takes more than 48 hours to get confirmed? And no, as a business we shouldn't try to batch grouped payments or get into this mess, as a business we've already made a clear decision several weeks ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1033612.msg26739717#msg26739717The only issue is we still need to use BTC to buy BCH with it, if we could have avoided the use of BTC completely we would have done so without a shred of doubt.

yes 2 days, but 2 days ago network fee recommendation was 550s/B last night (UTC time) fee dropped to 400, but now it just went back up to 550 again And no, as a business we shouldn't try to batch grouped payments or get into this mess, as a business we've already made a clear decision several weeks ago:
making multi payments in a single tx is common amongst bitcoin businesses in fact most will say it is the best practice in transaction management of bitcoin uses if you use single output + change for making regular payments, you might ended up with high total fees cost and possible long chain of unconfirmed txs

my mistake... I didn't pay attention closely and the advance view was disabled well I thought you knew better not to use unconfirmed input We paid $20 in fees - around 30 hours ago - is there anything that can be done to get this transaction confirmed?
and from your original post, I was under the assumption you knew what you're doing and only pointed the fee as the main problem you weren't actually asking if there was another problem with your tx Is there anything we can do here besides that now?!
yes many things... but it depends on your intentions and willingness you can do CPFP tx or you could double spend without the unconfirmed tx it's your call... and don't make a dust output change, 0.00005296 BTC, it will just give you more problems later
