Yea I did the tumble through bitcloak

I have contacted them and also contacted quickseller here to see if there is anything either of them can do, even if I need to pay a fee that is fine.

Any other suggestions?

Perhaps just wait a few days and let it drop off them attempt to rebroadcast at a higher free?

True. Bitcoin has been struggling  due to the huge increase in transactions compared to 6 months ago like you said, but it doesn't mean it's going to stay like this forever. Keep your fingers crossed that the lightning network would be successful and drastically decrease the transaction fees and times, along with SegWit adoption on most bitcoin sites/services.

Not sure about your transaction ID not working on ViaBTC though? Weird.

Did a transaction yesterday with some bitcoin.  I really only use it several times a year.  Since I have last used it helix has gone and fees are out of the roof. Mind you I am only doing a several hundred dollar transaction.

I did tumble the coins but the places now cost so much I stupidly lowered my fee so I had enough to send.

The result?

15 hours and still not confirmed on the receiving end and probably won't be.

Of course viabtc says transaction i.d. does not exist though I can find it on blockchain and I have screen shots..

Then I start doing research..seems I discovered a bit too late the folly of my ways and the fact that the dynamics of the bitcoin market for low level transactions has changed drastically
