At this point, I must confess, I would have to cease using btc.

A better suggestion would be to cease using a poorly written wallet that doesn't assist you in paying an appropriate fee for fast confirmation.

Yeah he did 8 sats a byte on one of the payments. No wallet should do this.

If you have 20+ sats a byte you can use the transaction accelerator option from viabtc.com

but if you go under 20+ sats a byte nogo.

https://www.viabtc.com/

So all wallets should force you to pay 21 sats a byte or higher.

Suggested fees below

suggests at least 141-160 sats a byte for pretty fast confirm.

Now in my case this address below gets many deposits and transfers

https://blockchain.info/address/16yLHLoeyuCLPMXkVpC3gyrRYvwRGwjKJr

I manually set a 40-60 sat payment per byte then go to viabtc.com and accelerate the payment.

if the transaction was 10000 bytes I pay 0.005 at 50 sats

if I paid the 180 sats a byte it would have been .018 payment

big difference.

The op paid 0.00000008 btc a byte no wallet should allow for that.

If the op was able to override payment level and so the small payment the wallet should still have a minimum level of 0.00000021 which would give him an option to use viabtc.com

In his case 0.00000008 is under that.
