Unconfirmed Bitcoin Transactions for 48 hours already!!!

[samsul1234]

I sent Bitcoin transactions two days ago, nearly 48 hours ago. So far they still show as "Unconfirmed transaction". I set the fee as 8 satoshis per byte, with the total cost to be 0.0000081 BTC. According to this site https://bitcoinfees.earn.com it should take between 25 mins to 480 minutes (8 hours) to be confirmed at 8 satoshis per byte. From their graph there's 2,433 transactions in the last 24 hours with that same fee. What to do and why hasn't it been confirmed yet?

maybe you have to be patient to wait, I know bitcoin is probably currently busy like a crowded vehicle everywhere or maybe now there are improvements so think positively and stay calm

Because the transaction fee is very low it is not priorty so you wait more than 2 days before the transaction must be complete.
If you set the transaction fee high it less than an hour you will going to use your bitcoin.
That case is normal because once the bitcoin is very high because the miner priotize is high fee than the low fee.

Something like this happens sometimes , once my transaction which was supposed to be completed in like 2 hours took 2 long days , and I also mailed the concerned authorities and they told me how they are really sorry that the server was down.

Sometimes the receiving wallet and the sending wallet might actually be dealing with a bit of a personal problem which could actually cause a bit of distress for the users.

I am actually happy it got confirmed , what problem and distress it might have caused you we all can understand it happens sometimes .
Good luck for the future ones.

Transaction fees are now only 2 satoshis per byte: https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx

My transaction got confirmed today finally after waiting 3 days.

Good that it has been confirmed. This is what you may want to try out should you get sucked in this scenario in the future: you can try to send say $0.5 to the same wallet that is unconfirmed using a higher fee, you may want to use between $2-$3 to send the $0.5 from the same wallet to the previous receiver's wallet or you can do the same stated above transaction to even another wallet. I have noticed that the transaction does get confirmed some minutes or hours after the second transaction might have been confirmed. In the case your transaction fee is up to 0.0001btc, you can use the free accelerator offered by viabtc .com at 00.00hrs.

Transactions take longer than they should when the market gets slightly bullish as so many people are making transactions almost every second. The best thing to do is to increase your transaction fee when making payment using any crypto wallet. I set my transaction to priority anytime i am making a bitcoin transaction.
