You paid a decent transaction fee but not for the transaction of that size.Before using any accelerating service,give it a couple of hours more to see if they're naturally accepted by the network.
So he didn't pay a decent transaction fee at all... it is only 104 sats/byte... Roll Eyes

People need to stop looking at the "total" fee and look at the sat/byte fee value... that is pretty much all that matters. A 0.1 BTC fee sounds big, but if your transaction was 75,000 bytes, it only works out to 133 sats/byte Tongue Similarly, a 0.00076800 btc fee doesn't look big, but for a 192 byte transaction, that is 400 sats/byte and likely to get confirmed in 1 block.

That transaction is spending from unconfirmed parent transactions. It will not confirm until all the unconfirmed parents are confirmed:

This one in particular is going to screw you... it only has a 3 sat/byte fee, so you won't even be able to use the ViaBTC accelerator.
