The blockchain is particularly slow today. I sent bitcoin today and paid around $4 as the transaction fee, which normally means that the transaction is confirmed within half an hour. Today the confirmation took more than 2 hours. So I would suggest patience, and eventually your transaction will be confirmed.

like i said in the post right above yours: a $4 fee might be perfectly fine for one transaction, grossly overpaying for a second transaction and not nearly high enough for a thirth transaction... Even if you are sending the same value of BTC, the necessary fee might be completely different.
$4 says nothing... You need to tell us:
1) how many inputs your transaction had
2) how many outputs your transaction had
3) if you were using a segwit wallet

FIAT numbers are not to the point.

Well sir I checked that you are having 3USD fees, so it should get confirmed pretty soon. Last week I had a 0.3 USD fee transaction waiting for about 5 days, but eventually it got confirmed. But it was 10x smaller fee. So if you are not in a great hurry with your transaction, you can wait and it will get confirmed. There are webpages detailing the number of transactions with a given fee or above that are still waiting for confirmation, so you can use those webpages to estimate remaining wait time.

Or use the webservices like confirmTX but there has been recently doubts on whether the page owners are honest, you can find the thread on it and make your own mind

Hope this helps you!

I have said this so many times before, but i'll say it again: the fee necessary for a reasonably fast confirmation has NOTHING to do with the value of the outputs of the transaction, not the value in BTC, nor the value in FIAT.

There are 3 things influencing the fee:

the AMOUNT op inputs (NOT their value)
the AMOUNT of outputs (NOT their value)
wether or not the sender is using a segwit wallet or not

In the OP's case, he used a fee of 55 sat/byte, while https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ teaches us that at the time of writing, you'd need a 200 sat/byte fee for a 95% chance of getting in the next 3 blocks.
The good thing is that his fee is over 10 sat/byte, and his transaction size is under 400 bytes, so most free transaction accelerator services should allow him to accellerate his tx for free.

If you have being following up what is happening in the community you will know that transaction is very slow. So just exercise patience. you do not need to panic.

Unfortunately bitcoin network is very congested right now, there are 140000+ unconfirmed transactions at the moment, it is a very bad moment to post your transactions, but you actually have it posted so not much to do now. You must just patiently wait the congestion through, it will be over in a few days, it always is.

The marginal note is that when a 0.0002 BTC fee does not guarantee you fast confirmation, it really shows that the bitcoin network is *very* inefficient.

Edit: it is 170.000+ unconfirmed transactions at present. WOW! And the number is growing ...

Try https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ or http://confirmtx.com/ or https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/freep-bitcoin-transaction-accelerator-for-unconfirmed-txs-2204426

blockchains is pretty overloaded at the moment so do not expect conf. any soon (but you might be lucky)
