Blockchain.info very slow to confirm

[Cassius]

Other people seem to have had similar problems, but not sure if they're exactly the same - or if it's related to the recent outage.
I received this transaction https://blockchain.info/tx/bc1ba3541c6753b5643b5624eac15ef0b46ae80e8f6c5ad618bb24e922f45497 earlier today, and almost immediately transferred the funds (slightly more) out to Bitstamp. The two transactions happened at 18:42 and 18:49. Now, nearly two hours later, neither is showing a single confirmation. I'm using blockchain.info and did pay 0.0001 btc in transaction fees.
Related may be that 1SochiWwFFySPjQoi2biVftXn8NRPCSQC felt the need to send me 1 satoshi earlier in the day, which hasn't confirmed either.
Any ideas?

Looks like you have got 5 confirmations now. Sometimes it happens. Don't Worry.

Yeah, it suddenly took off in the last few minutes and caught up. Weird. I guess it happens.

Confirmations are irrelevant of the who broadcast the transaction - they are entirely dependent on the priority of your transaction and the time taken for a new block to be 'mined'. If you want a faster transaction, you'll probably have to increase the fee and even then it's still variable based on time between blocks.

A lot of people bumped an old thread, but the OP was during the time blockchain was having database issues and was offline for a period and confirmations were slow as it's database caught back up during that time.  Everything should have been working correctly for weeks since this post.

Light is right though it is variable due to block times and based on priority of transaction which in turn is based on your transaction fee...

Blockchain works well for me as long as i add a fee.
