If this problem happens again then you can contact the users macbook-air or quickseller on this forum and they should be able to speed it up for you. (They have access to an accelerator from a company that mines a new block every few blocks - probably a maximum of two hours until your transaction is confirmed), for a small fee to make the transaction up to be high enough to be considered as a regular transaction is (not the $69 that the other site wanted). (i suspect one of them or an owner of a pool may have noticed this when it was posted though if there's a large enough stake of 0.002BTC then they'll mine it fairly quickly after finding it).

edit: as it was f2pool who mined it, it was one of those two users i mentioned who noticed it.
