FYI:
BTC Transactions Queue is overloaded.
16 hours and the guy can't get a confirmation, how can people not see BTC is failing, is beyond me.

What is the normal amount of bitcoins transactions in queue? Currently it is close to 30000 transactions.
I have a transaction waiting for over 16 hours now. It has a fee, so am I guarenteed that it will be confirmed?

Applies to every proof-of-work coin which attempts to scale up, not just Bitcoin.

I am very sleepy so didn't proof read that well yet.

Read it; more please.

I edited it after proof-reading upon awakening.
