Hi, first of all, you are being most generous, thank you.

But before enlisting your help, I have a question. Yesterday I imported a paper wallet:
https://blockexplorer.com/tx/39f9ddbb24897f6dabd3394a2e7de0e7253e0d996d96236ff7ca95f94e156eb3
Or blockchain.info link (shows fees are 611.224 sat/B ):
https://blockchain.info/tx/39f9ddbb24897f6dabd3394a2e7de0e7253e0d996d96236ff7ca95f94e156eb3

The transaction is stuck although I believe with ~600 satoshi/byte I added enough fee to at least have it confirmed in a couple of hours (it has been 21 hours now).

My question is: I next preceded to transfer the btc to Bittrex:
https://blockexplorer.com/tx/812c46b909d4ab88abf7c8c2f2d7c2de6133b84c35788e4da96449fd2cf694dd

This is of course dependent on the first transaction because the wallet does not contain enough BTC if the first transaction is not confirmed.

Can the fact that I spend unconfirmed BTC be the cause of the delay of the first transaction? I can add fee to the second transaction in my Android wallet, but not to the first.

Thank you for your help, I might later on ask for help confirming transaction 1. If you want I can tip you, what would you think is appropriate? If I decide to do so, I will fill out a post properly for you.

Highest regards.
