What wallet are you using? Maybe it is time to try out the Replace-by-fee feature now.
Be safe and use a .0005 fee until we get a blocksize increase.
It is an attack, a block size increase wouldn't help much.
I am using Blockchain.info's integrated chrome wallet.
Before I sent the transaction the wallet already notified me to adjust the fees automatically and my priority was set to medium. So it deducted a normal fee of 0.0002 btc which is I think normal for most transaction.
Heck even now the unconfirmed transaction has reached over 35K!

Guys please do not suggest here for a blocksize increase because that is a useless suggestion for now.
