Hi,

I've sent some BTC with a low fee and it's taking days to process.
blockchain.info says 9 hours, queue place 1900 or something, but it's like that for a few days and it's changing from low to high but not a single confirmation I get: https://blockchain.info/tx/c071df1ff752cdcdd86c8291339b6ae45049820bed4577f4c25b64b2937eb7b4

Is there a way to bump the txfee after sending or is this BTC basically in limbo for ever because there's always somebody with a higher fee?

Kinda silly, isn't it?

I think very old transactions should be getting a slight bump based on their age. It's not means to workaround fees, but to allow the system to resolve this kind of backlog.
