I would really appreciate any help. Kind of desperate right now.

the transaction id: f78d950a689f8bd6835bbf50c987505f678751d520891c09411ce6d2d903033f
addresses: 1As7nq1QPXG5QziN8ZhhZJLvFD27qyoaeu is the sender’s address, 19ABUkUmQ9N8GAiGMwNoYanb5QFq1jhxn4 is my address
sender/receiver: receiver
wallet software: really don’t know Sad
mempool: yes
tip: i'll be happy to tip once I have access to my BTC. Everything I have is in this transaction.

Since you are the receiver, there are 2 options for you:
1) contact the sender, request that he fixes his mess...
2) do a CPFP... A CPFP is basically using the unspent output from the unconfirmed transaction to generate a new transaction, this new transaction can only be included in a miner's block if he/she also includes the parent transaction. If the fee of the child is high enough to cover both the fee of the child AND the parent, some miners will actually mine both tx's and solve your problem.

If you go for option 2, i REALLY need to know your wallet software. It's not hard: which program on your pc did you use to generate an address you gave to the sender? OR, which website did you surf to to generate this address (altough, if you used an online wallet, the odds of me being able to help you are small).

Sorry, I wasn't clear. This was processed from an online exchange to another online exchange.

As it's been already 1 day and a half and I have a fee of only 181.796 sat/B, is this unlikely to be processed any time soon as there are a lot of transactions with higher fees?


https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ estimates that at this point in time, it can take up to 143 blocks to have a 95% of getting your tx confirmed... However, if more tx's with higher fees get broadcasted, things might get worse for you.

In case of an exchange to exchange (or online wallet) transaction, the only thing you can do is pay a miner to include your tx, wait it out, or contact the SENDING exchange and demand a sollution.
