Re: Why havent my bitcoins confirmed through blockchain after 24 hours?

This may be a dumb question but I understand after transferring Bitcoins from my wallet to Alpha it goes through some sort of confirmation process. I have looked it up on blockchain and am yet to receive any confirmation after 24 hours. After reading other forums I feel this isn't normal. Can anyone help me understand where my coins have gone?

Here is the link to it on blockchain:

I didn't check your fee, but the network has been kind of congested lately, I'm assuming because of the recent uptick in interest. Unless you sent a really healthy fee (something you can only control if you set the fee yourself), this unfortunately might take a while at the moment. You picked the wrong day Wink  Exchange and hosted wallets rarely have this function; the standard fee they use that would normally serve to provide a decently fast transaction, just won't cut it.

Give it more time, it's frustrating, I know. Your coins aren't lost; worst case scenario, the txn will get dropped by the mempool if it doesn't confirm, and the funds will be available to spend again (this time with a nice fee attached).

Edit: forgot about txn xcl, great idea, do that.
