If you provide us the tx code anyone can help you easier.
Since the network is crowded currently, you will need to pay more transaction fee to get a higher priority.
- depending on your transaction, If it has 'replace by fee' enabled, you can easily boost up your transaction fee and get confirmation faster.
- Maybe you can try doing 'child pay for parents' method (A little bit advanced)  
- You can also try free transaction accelerators such as (https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ and https://cyber-hub.pw/bitcoin_transaction_accelerator.php and https://bitaccelerate.com/) to accelerate your transaction. however the result is not guaranteed.

If you don't need a fast conf you're probably better off waiting if you can... If you've sent 100+sat per byte fee I'd imagine it'll get confirmed within a week (but the only experience I have at the moment is a transaction with a 1 sat per byte fee not being confirmed but I don't really want to pay any higher and for others too when it's not a high priority).

If you do need it fast and you're using a good wallet app, you should be able to rbf as stated above.

What is the fee you used?

Mempool still has big size (60 MB) but fee is cheaper and you can get 1 confirmation if you make a transaction with 20 satoshi per byte now. Very cheap if you know last week people spent 300 satoshi per byte to get quick confirmation.

I used to have this problem before and it took a lot of time before the transaction to confirmed and it really annoys me. Thankfully with the help of fellow members here, I pinpoint the problem and it was the transaction fees which you need to increase a little when doing some transactions to prioritize and get your transaction confirmed fast.

I already experienced this before especially in some bitcoin wallets in which you can reduce the transaction fee from their original recommended/suggested transaction fee, like satoshi/byte.

You can use this: https://coinb.in/#fees to check the recommended transaction fee before sending a bitcoin to another wallet. And another tip is using segwit address can help you to reduce the transaction fee on sending.

I haven't encountered any problem with my bitcoin confirmation yet. But, the first time that I have done this, I am too nervous that I might lose that bitcoins I am withdrawing or transferring to other wallet. Maybe the reason why it takes a lot of process with your situation is because of the sat/byte you had chosen. Try to double check it and check the details of your transaction though I know it cannot be cancelled and it is irreversible.

coinb.in has its serious problem that has not been fixed for many months. The site uses outdate blockdata to calculate and give fee estimation.

If you check it now, the site suggests 12 sat/byte.

With Electrum, and with mempool option for fee estimation, you will get 20 sat/byte.
With https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,24h, you can see 20 sat/byte can help transaction get first confirmation in 1 to 2 blocks.

In Electrum, if you choose ETA, the fee estimation will be not correct (if you want to save fee) and you will over pay for fee.

No  
You realize you're asking a pretty broad question.
Some paid enough to have their tx in the first block some don't care, some are used to, some afford...

I face this problem. a lot of transactions still pending from last 2 weeks. I face a problem 1-time last year. it fixed automatically last time.

Are you sure it's for two weeks?
On the 20th the mepool got empty, all transactions got confirmed and we've mined 5-6 blocks well under 1 MB.
Then on the 26th everything about 1sat/b got cleared again.
So, what fee did you use?

so I just waiting or what i do Now?

You wait two more days, the difficulty retarget will happen in around 25 hours, it will come with at least 10% on average faster blocks than right now so probably we'll see another empty mempool pretty soon.

If you don't need a fast conf you're probably better off waiting if you can... If you've sent 100+sat per byte fee I'd imagine it'll get confirmed within a week

The mempool got cleared again, 100sat/b is overkill, the lowest fee that got confirmed in the last block was 20sat/b.

I have, during the height of 2017 bitcoin rally, it took 2 weeks to finally see my transaction getting confirmed. And the problem is that during that time I still consider myself a newbie and didn't know how much fee I should pay in order to get my transaction confirmed in the next 10 blocks. However, it's really that expensive in 2017. I guess you just have to wait till it gets confirm somehow

[bitbunnny]

I have to say that in the past I had some issues with transactions confirmation but recently that doesn't happen anymore. If I remember well that was especially often through 2016 and 2017.
But as far as I know there are also some services, many of them free, who could help to speed up transactions. That always worked for me.

[Warkop]

In the last few weeks I have also experienced some problems with Bitcoin transactions and I waited for 2 to 3 days after which my transaction was successful and after that I found out that the fees I used to transact were indeed very low compared to others. So in my opinion you make transactions with very low fees so your transactions get stuck and take longer to be confirmed by miners compared to others, because miners see and perform transactions that use large fees to quickly confirm.

You know the price of Bitcoin is going up now, the number of transactions is now several times higher than the number of transactions that normally occur daily. Due to excessive transections the network is overloaded and that's why low-fee transactions are remaining stuck as unconfirmed.


You can do 4 things if you get stuck for low fees

✩ First one is you can increase the fees manually to improve your position in mempool.
✩ Second one, you can send all of your remained funds to another wallet with a standard transection fee. If you do that then the miner who is compatible with CPFP(Child Pays for Parent) are enforced to add your unconfirmed and newly created transection to a block.
✩ Thirdly you can use an acceleration service, you will find many free or paid BTC transection accelerator over online.
✩ And the last one is you can wait for several days maybe the transaction will be completed randomly when the traffic decreases otherwise the transaction will be expired and the fund will return back to source wallet.

I think that everyone who does the transfer of their Bitcoin has suffered such delays. The delays and its confirmation varies on how much you pay. If you are setting it to the minimum fees, don't expect that it arrives in just a second, a minute, or even an hour, better expect it to arrive almost one day or even more.

There are several things that can help you is to increase the transaction fee or asking help BTC transaction accelerators to speed up the confirmation. Other from that is to wait. You can make other stuff while waiting to divert your mind from being bored of waiting.

Yes, I already experience that problem before. Because before, I am usually using low fees to send my bitcoin to another online wallet.

If you need your bitcoin badly, you can use some of the transaction accelerators for free. But I didn't try it yet, so I don't know how fast it will confirm your bitcoin transaction.

It seems we are back to square one! Same issue is happening like we have faced back in 2017 and we are now in 2020. Mempool is clogged with thousands of unconfirmed transactions and whales are paying minuscule fees for transferring billions of dollars while we commoners are paying high feed even for a hundred dollar transaction.

I am wondering if LN can help here! Probably it's high time we give LN a try!

[lebregone]

I guess most of the bitcoin users have experienced this kind of problem especially at that time that we are still newbie who don't have enough knowledge yet about the transaction fee that we are going to use in order for our transaction to be process right away.

I experience this kind of problem in the past where I sent a transaction using a very low fee therefore my transaction has been stuck for few days so I just use a transaction accelerator in order to accelerate my transaction and it solve my problem but I still waited for few days before I get my transaction done.

Yes I did face probem with BTC confirmation, that is when I tried to send BTC with a minimal transaction fee and all of a sudden the tx fee surge so I have my BTC pending for several days.

Depends if the wallet you are sending enable you to RBF (replace by fee) and that you are in a haste to get that transaction complete, but if you are not in a hurry then, you can just wait for it and let it confirm naturally.  You can also push or rebroadcast your transaction using this site https://bitaccelerate.com/

[ShowOff]

I also seemed to be having transaction bottleneck due to the sudden increase in fee due to the spike in bitcoin price. Usually I use the recommended fee from the wallet I use and quite often display cheap transaction (recommended fee). As usual, that's fine but I have experienced transaction delays of over 4 hours due to increased transaction fee while broadcasting low-fee transaction. So far I have not used a bitcoin transaction accelerator service, although it can help but I prefer to wait until my transaction is confirmed.
