I think with "advanced view" its more clear.

well, i assumed a "curious" person would investigate further Smiley

the interesting thing about that transaction for me was this part "0xfd2201" which translates to "290" inputs based on how ComactSize is defined.

Every input (shown on the left) needs ~148 (or 180[1]) bytes and this TX has 290 inputs. 290*180 = 52 200 ~= 52 135.
It may be useful to put the full 'calculation' for the TX size in here (unless something has changed):
Quote
in*180 + out*34 + 10 plus or minus 'in'

Generally I recommend that people combine outputs whenever they can. This is also beneficial for the network as it reduces the UTXO set.

you paid a small amount of fee!
according to http://bitcoinfees.21.co/ you needed to pay 110 satoshi per byte and if you are saying the size correctly (20,000 bytes) it means you should have paid 0.022BTC fee for it which is ~$20
what you paid ($13) is ~0.014BTC

it will take a longer time to confirm mostly because there are 20K unconfrimed transactions right now (https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions)

you should wait but also try using this: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

I'm curious to see how you reached 20k though.

here is an example for your curiosity 52135 (bytes) Smiley

Can you link the transaction?
You probably have a lot of inputs, probably due to the fact that you were doing a lot of micro transactions and sending them all out at once.
