Problems are keeping up...

I mean is it normal for a transaction to take so long, even if the blocks are clogged or something?
And if so since this transaction is actually a payment from a hot wallet I think am a bit screwed if it
never gets confirmed.

This tx has such a low fee that it is basically treated as tx spam and deserves to never be confirmed. What wallet are you using?

That's a bit harsh to suggest that "no fee" transactions should "never" be confirmed. Maybe sometime in the future bitcoin will evolve to such a state in which no fee transactions are not confirmed, yet at this point, that seems to be a long way into the future.

i wonder when was the last 0fee TX that was confirmed ( and not generated by the miner himself )
anyway...
1cent isn't half bad for 226 bytes...
considering 5cents for 226 bytes TX is high priority 1 cents doesn't "deserves to never be confirmed"

My understanding is that zero fee transactions are confirmed on a daily basis. Those transactions just have the lowest priority - You could even perform a test of this, and I am pretty sure that these days your zero fee transaction has a decent chance of going through within 24 hours. I have done such test zero fee transactions myself, but I must admit that it has been several months since I last sent a zero fee transaction...
