Recently I've sent $20 for a trade but even after 48 hours its not confirmed yet. Are you guys too facing this issue with bitcoins?
Sorry to hear that. I haven't been having any problems sending or receiving Bitcoin. Seems completely fine to me, but for the rest of you, it doesn't seem so fine.
What kind of fees have you guys been using? I normally use around 30k satoshis and it seems to work fine. Hopefully the problem gets solved soon though, don't want there to be a huge backlog.

it's not that common for a tx to be stuck for 48 hours I've to say, I have one stuck for ~3 days but that was a website's fault for sending using low fees (and using unconfirmed funds), so it took time.

The blockchain is slow now, but that long is abnormal, what were the fees? and can you share the txid?
The whole time I have been using Bitcoin, I have never waited for a transaction to take over a day. This really needs to get solved if Bitcoin wants a chance of going mainstream.
