Why is This Week so difficult to a transaction with MyEtherWallet?
1. Is it caused bitcoin is rocketed;
2. too many phishing; or
3. cost the gas price too high
Pending transaction due to Ethereum network congestion
Setting a higher gas price will instead help you to solve this problem because it makes the transactions confirmed with priority
I agree with you that the problem of late transaction may be interference with the ether network, even though I have raised 2x higher gas but my transaction is still pending.
This only slightly helpful and does not guarantee your transaction will be quickly confirmed as many people are doing the same thing when there is congestion in the network
