Oh yeah, it worked, I tried to pick some random transaction that is still unconfirmed with high fee (satoshi/bytes) and I tried to accelerate it there in viaBTC bitcoin transaction accelerator and it works.
I think it's really on my end, most of my transactions before are very low transaction fees.
You see the thing was just that the fee was insufficient to meet the ViaBTC criteria, and because of that many simply say that the whole thing doesn't work. There has been a discussion on this
topic recently, so it's not bad to read what's written there, at least some things are clear as far as fees are concerned.
What can sometimes be misleading is that the transaction is confirmed on a regular basis, and the transaction accelerator did not play any role - so it is advisable to check the block in which the transaction was confirmed, and there you can see which mining pool found that particular block. The easiest way to do this is to visit ->
https://www.blockchain.com/explorer and check latest mined blocks.
ViaBTC accelerator (and even the paid version) is not a magic tool that will literally speed up the transaction, but it all depends on how lucky they are to find the next block. Take for example that ViaBTC found the
Block 639565 - Timestamp 2020-07-17 02:18, and their next block was
Block 639601 - Timestamp 2020-07-17 09:14, almost 7 hours after last one.
