I'd recommend enabling Dynamic fees in Electrum under Preferences. This is much better at estimating fees and you can better control how quickly the transaction will occur using a slider.

I'd recommend running both of your txids through Via's Accelerator at https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ which should help speed up the confirmation time if Via mines a block.

Dynamic fees was already enabled ?

Okay thanks, what is via accelerator ?

Where did you have the fee slider set to then? If you want a fast confirmation, you should try moving the slider more to the right. All the way to the right will be within 1-2 blocks usually but is also the most expensive fee rate.

Via Accelerator is a feature which allows Via ( a mining pool ) to include your transaction in the next block that it mines. This is useful for help speeding up the confirmation of transactions that had lower fees in them.

What are the txids of your transactions?

You probably have a low fee, but your second transaction, because they spent from an unconfirmed transaction, cannot be confirmed until the first one does.

Hi so I know there's already plenty of these posts but just want a little insight Astro I should do or if I should simply wait it out. I a relatively new to BTC although have made around 20 total transactions using my electrum wallet

So earlier after purchasing some BTC I send them to my electrum.
Next before that transaction has full confirmations I send them to a wallet I have on another website.
This transaction has now been 'unconfirmed' for over 6 hours.

What can I do ?
