I though the rule was minimum 0.0001 BTC for 1000 bytes transaction is good fee. i paid 0.0002 BTC for 600 bytes tx.Still took 9 hours to get confirmed.it's kinda wierd.

That's no longer the standard fee. There's much more transactions made per day now and blocks are getting full. So to get your transaction included in a block you'll need to bump up the priority by increasing the fee.

What if everyone starts paying high and equal fee then what will happen?

That's why we need a good scaling solution :/ I think the Lightning network could solve this perfectly but it's going to take a while before it's implemented, so for now just pay the proper fee Cheesy

That won't happen. But I believe the ones that are received first will be included in the block first. It would vary from miner to miner, depending on what internal rule they adopt (eg. not confirming transactions from and to X address).

In reality, everyone is probably going to pay different fees.

Currently 60 Satoshi per byte should do well. See e.g. -> https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

as you can see it's priority is midium and it's been 9 hours already but still it doesn't got even 1 confirm.
Please can any one estimate when or if it will get confirm?

I estimate that it got confirmed 2 minutes ago. Tongue

Yeah it was just confirmed, but 30 satoshi / byte is currently not a "reasonable fee" if you want a fast confirmation.

Edit:
As said below, your fee is low. Go to this site to see the recommended fee.
