2 Fucking weeks so far!

6 sats per byte?

That’s weird that it’s not confirmed yet. I very rarely use an ‘online wallet’ but I sent some bitcoin from an old blockchain.com wallet last week. I was complacent and also let the wallet decide the ‘best’ fee which was also 6 sats/byte and it confirmed in about 12 hours.

I remember in 2017 or 2018 I had to pay a mining pool to get a transaction confirmed. Shame ViaBTC free transaction accelerator is minimum 10 sat/byte now, it used to be 1 sat/byte.

I’ve just tried to accelerate your transaction on one of those free accelerators. Dunno if it will work but it supposedly rebroadcasts transactions.

Yeah that is strange, I sent several transactions on the 12th at 6 sats a byte and they all went through under 30 min. Looking at mempool.space there are still plenty of blocks letting 6 sat fees through right now.
