Wow, 10 days is a bit too far. Transactions are normally refunded back to your original wallet within 3 days. It does not make sense that the transaction has been unconfirmed for 10 days. As from me, sorry, I am not a miner.

My advice would be to check your address. Your money should be returned.

"If you have sent a transaction

without (or with an exceptionally small) transaction fee
expect it to be ignored for an unknown amount of time until a miner decides to process it and solves the block; this could be several days to several weeks, possibly never. Your wallet and any Bitcoin node will show it as unconfirmed, your transaction is stuck in limbo.

Block sizes are limited, which means that only a limited number of transactions can be processed in a certain timeframe. In the beginning of bitcoin, there was lots of free space in each block because there were not many transactions. However, now that Bitcoin is quite popular there are more transactions than can be processed into the current block. This is why transaction fees have increased, and as long as someone is still willing to pay more they will keep increasing.

What can I do to speed-up the transaction’s confirmation?

Nothing. The next best thing is to cancel and resend the transaction.

Make a note of the individual bitcoin address(es) that the unconfirmed transaction was sent from.
Run Bitcoin Core with the -zapwallettxes option (or wait a few days until your wallet stops broadcasting the transaction and it falls out of the global transaction mempool)
Send all your bitcoins from the addresses recorded in step 1 to a new address with the recommended or higher than recommended fee.
Make original transaction again using the recommended fee.
What to watch out for

Sites that claim to "speed up your unconfirmed bitcoin transaction". From personal experience, these sites are either scams or just don't work.
DOUBLE PAYMENTS. If the addresses used in the original transaction have sufficient bitcoin in them to cover the transaction, it can always be completed at a later date. To avoid this, follow step 3 to empty the associated addresses and do not reuse them.
What is the recommended fee?

Transaction fees vary by the size of your transaction, and not all transactions are the same size. The fee for same sized transactions also depends on how busy the bitcoin network is at the moment. An estimate (at the time of original post) was between 11-20 satoshi/byte (0.00011-0.00020BTC/kB) but now can be much higher. Personally, I use the 3rd fastest setting on Bitcoin Core which dynamically updates the rate based on network congestion."

give me your cryptos
10 days... jeez.

Usually, transactions are dropped from the network and refunded back to your wallet within 72 hours. I'm not sure how it has been kept there for 10 days. Are you sure the transaction still even exists?

It would be great if you could list the transaction id (A long string of random characters) so we can see it. It is totally safe.

And because you mentioned that you would like to pay for it, then I think you should also try this one https://pushtx.btc.com/#/ their fees are vary based on each transaction.

this one works very well. I have tried it many times so im recommending it also as it works for me. You can try it yourself if you want to. Just follow the given instruction and youre good.

I was told yesterday that https://pushtx.btc.com/#/ only accepts AliPay lately, so it's harder to use.
And it's expensive...
Yes, I was gonna use it if they accept bitcoin but, It's pretty ironic that their service is bitcoin related although they don't even accept it as a payment .
If OP is willing to pay, Why don't you try your luck and contact one of the miners here?

There's nothing that can go wrong with posting your transaction code in to one of these...  Is there?

Thanks for the suggestions by the way.

It's only the transaction ID, it's number... It's safe, really.
The only problem is that ViaBTC is crowded, I just tried minutes ago to accelerate a transaction and it was not accepted.
