I sent this 5 days ago, still no confirmation. I know that fee is low (5$, yes I have to call 5$ low!), but 5 days!!!

I am a true BTC believer, but at the moment BTC is a Porsche unable to drive  Sad

I am really looking forward to an LN solution.

PS: Yes I know those are no segwit addresses

The reason your transaction is taking so long (and needed a much higher fee for fast confirmation) is that you created a very BIG transaction.  Your transaction is more than 6,000 bytes in size!  Nearly all of my transactions are less than 375 bytes.

Note, however, that you did pay enough fees to use the viaBTC accelerator.  With a bit of patience, you can get your transaction confirmed within 2 days.
