ok, so I've been stupid enough to send bitcoins without looking at the fee which is set by default to a minimum 1000 sats.
My transaction hasn't got a single confirmation for like 10 hours now. How long will it take for such a transaction to get confirmed?
that depends on the size and priority of your transaction. it can take a week if the tx is huge and someone keep re-broadcasting it (if all node stop re-broadcasting it then it'll be dropped from the mempool within 72 hours.).
btw 1000 sat fee are very low.
yeah, just didn't think about the fee since the default value worked fine for me before
also there's a lot of unconfirmed transactions right now
