It might have a low transaction fee so the transaction stuck.

Yeah, I sent very little there, wanted to see if the exchange was reliable since I do not know. I already contacted them, they only answered me, that the limit was 0.001.
Which exchange is that and is it stated in their TOS that there is a minimum deposit? Can you contact their support and ask them if you can send the remaining balance to respect the minimum 0.001 BTC limit?

@OP,
Even if your wallet (any) doesn't suggest you a proper fee to get your transaction confirmed in next block or 2, please refer to a comment I made in another thread that I'm quoting here:

https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h

Visit this site.
Scroll down to the chart that says "Mempool Size in MB"
Hover over it and you'll see something like this:

If you want your transaction confirmed in next block, I believe you'll need to pay between the fee range where block sizes are less than 1 MB'ish. Credits to DarkStar_ and TheQuin for making me understand more about this.

Hope this helps you next time you do any transaction.

I did not observe the minimum limit of the wallet I would receive. Can you return to my wallet? I see the transaction on Blockchain.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. Your transaction already has 623 confirmations, so there is nothing you can do. What limit are you referring to? Contact the support of the service you sent your coins to.

Thank you!

Can someone help me, I sent a certain amount of Bitcoin, but did not reach the destination. I did not observe the minimum limit of the wallet I would receive. Can you return to my wallet? I see the transaction on Blockchain.

Crazy.... I didn't know all this

.looks like I am screwed
You are not screwed. All that was needed was a bit of patience for the mempool to clear and for the fees to drop to your 1-2 Sat/Byte.
And that is exactly what happened and according to block explorers both of your transactions now have around 70 confirmations.  Wink

uhmm noted...but it has 3.3 star rating in app store.

Electrum Mobile is not as intuitive as other mobile wallets and the desktop version. Check out Samourai Wallet. It has many advanced features which might be useful for you in the future. You can also import the seed from Samourai into Electrum on your desktop. Note that Samourai will force you to use a passphrase which acts as a 13th word of your recovery seed. Don't lose it.

Fees are dynamic. They are constantly changing - thus, wallets will suggest different fees every time. His transactions above are an example of that, their fees are not the same.

I am aware of that. I am surprised that his wallet didn't suggest overpaying a little for these transactions; I am quite sure that other wallets would do so. Anyway, changing wallet to Electrum will prevent such a thing from happening in the future since it has RBF enabled by default now.

Are you sure that their transaction fee is the same as the fee of already confirmed transactions? That's not possible. Your wallet might have suggested you a wrong fee for these two transactions. Next time, set the transaction fee manually (you can use the website I linked earlier) and consider upgrading to a wallet which gives you more control, for example, Electrum.
- Make a transaction when mempool is at 2 sat/byte -> wallet suggests 2 sat/byte fee.
- Come back hours later when the mempool is at 20 sat/byte and make a second transaction -> wallet suggests 20 sat/byte fee.

Did you send those transactions or are you the receiver? If you sent them then your wallet might allow you to increase the transaction fee using RBF. Some wallets don't support it, so you might not able to do it.
I doubt his wallet "Edge" supports this.

unfortunately I am the sender and my wallet does not support multiple fee adding...but I have transactions after that which r confirmed... All transactions done from same wallet...don't know how can previous transactions be unconfirmed when recent transactions are confirmed
First of all, there is a chance people will come here saying they accelerated your tx to grab your reward. Dot believe in them. No one can accelerate a transaction unless you know someone from a big mining pool.

Transactions are treated individually unless you are spending an input originated from a previous transaction (spending a coin you received in a previous transaction). If you sent these coins to website/exchange/anything which you do not control, then there is nothing you can do other than wait.

any way to boost them ?

Some wallets don't support it, so you might not able to do it. If you are the receiver and want to spend the coins then as long as you see them in your wallet, you should be able to spend them with a higher fee then the recommended one so that all transactions get confirmed faster thanks to CPFP.

Both transactions seem to be sent with a 2 sat/byte transaction fee; that's too litle. The current recomennded fee is 39 sat/byte so you will have to wait quite a long time.
