I have an Electrum wallet...I had some btc sent to it, on two occasions a day apart. BOTH transactions says to the left under date it says "low fee" and
it has a yellow triangle with a quotation mark inside of it!!!!
What does this mean, will my coins be confirmed shortly??? Please explain this situation....I hope to hear from you very soon!!!
That means you paid low fee and miners will ether take too mutch time to confirm it as it isn't on their priority list if you don't pay the fees to them.
It should ether be confirmed by waaay longer timeframe or if not then it should return to your address.
Next time pay higher fees.
Yes, you should know that higher fee means quicker confirmation. But still nothing is lost. There are many services (also in the services section of this forum) which can accelerate your transcation with no or minimal fee. I suggest OP to submit his tx id on any such site and hope to get it confirmed quickly.
