Topic: Been waiting 7 hours for transaction still not gone through? (Read 534 times)
Subject paid 20 sat per byte... had to wait 512 minutes for confirmation. It's a study in negative reinforcement... he paid quadruple the fee next time to be sure.
It has 61 confirmations now, didn't you receive the funds already? Or if not maybe the address you input is wrong.
Last time I checked, there's more than 50 confirmations on those. Make sure to include a fee next time else you risk loosing BTC (recipient asking you to send them again because it "will never get confirmed", then both transactions get confirmed).
now it has got about 7 confirmations and in that , i think the transaction is considered as complete. it is only because of over load the transactions sometimes take more time.
Seems to be confirmed now. Good for you OP. 
Which wallet you used? if blockchain.info than always use the recommended fee or don't change the fee they suggest to save your bitcoin if you want to get your transaction confirmed within 10 or 20 minutes. As i can see you atleast have fees, this may get confirmed after few more hours or days.
You're using a very low fee of 0.000045BTC for 225KB transaction. Of course it'll take long. There's no way to guarantee how long it'll take to confirm, but my guess it will take 12-30 hours. Seeing that another transaction with less fee got confirmed in 37 hours.
If you had used a bit bigger fee it probably would have sent long ago.
Your fee was lower than recommended.
0.000045 BTC as fee but I'm not sure is this per KB or just for entire TX.
It may be a long wait. But don't worry it will be processed at some point
I was waiting for TX to go through ~19hours... with appropriate fee of course, that was one year ago during stress test.
Are you in possesion of the private key of the address that sent the funds? I'd tell you to wait a little more as blockchain.info displays the transactions as high priority now, but if it doesn't confirm you might need to take more drastic measures because the fee is low.
Some people will tell you that you have not paid enough fees. But if everybody pays very high fee, there will still be congestion.
OP is asking a question, politicizing the issue here isn't helpful.

I don't think you've got any options to be honest with you. Your just going to have to wait this one out until it finally gets picked up. I had one a few weeks ago that took about 12 hours or something stupid before it got a confirmation. Just sit tight.
