The miner preference says low... Which means you have paid fees that are too low. It's not that if you pay double the fees every time, you're guaranteed to have a high priority. It all depends on the size of the transaction, and in this case the size is pretty big.

Yesterday I bought paypal money in exchange with btc and the deal was smooth as usual.

I sent the bitcoins and the transaction is here > https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/2c8e29c797ec493df08b35b4012029445ea2bc420e32a685e6708f359a0ad5af/

Already 15 hours has passed and not a single confirmation has been done. Will this transaction reverse or just take more time than usual because of blockchain spams transactions?

I do not really think the fees is too low. Is it?

As you can see here there is a congestion in the network https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions maybe someone is spamming the network, which is why even the transactions with the normal fees are taking too long to confirm, but it will ultimately subside and when it does, your transaction should go through.
There is a huge amount of congestion with the transactions. I bet that it is just a bunch of people spamming it. It should be gone by tomorrow.

i don't know if this is another spam attack on the network from bigger block supporters or simply bitcoin users moving their stuff around. (somebody in another topic suggested this is salary day (end of the month) and that is the cause)
anyways we are all having the same problem, i have transaction stuck for more than 24 hours and it has enough transaction fee (it is high priority) but no confirmation.

based on the recent events, it almost seems like moving to bigger blocks is the favoured idea, but we just saw that one DDoS'er say he was being paid to attack Classic nodes, maybe Classic is retaliating by spamming the network to all hell?

At the time I wrote this thread there were 20K unconfirmed transactions and now it is over 32K!
Will my transaction go through? Huh

Be safe and use a .0005 fee until we get a blocksize increase.

I have seen some transaction using 0.001 btc fees for a 0.01 btc transfer and is still waiting for 23 hours!

Thats one more proof that we urgently need to increase the blockzise.
Block are already full and ths kind of dealys are getting to be more common. This is bad because it causes a lot of issues between buyers and sellers.
It can even mine the trust in bitcoin on businesses as shops who are already accepting bitcon.

Yes. This will have a negative impact on the trust system.

There has been, what seems to be a spam attack or unannounced stress test on the blockchain and as a result, the blocks have been filled with some tx's with virtually no fee's. This has caused problems for other people, who has paid normal fees.

You are just one of the unlucky people, who made a transaction during that traffic jam. This is just one more reason why the developers should act on this type of rubbish. 

What should I do now? Wait further?
Can it be rebroadcasted?

Why would you think blocks are filled with low tx transaction ? Isn't that causing a loss to the miners .

Its happening with most of users since yesterday, their transaction with normal default fees taking more time or they are still unconfirmed,total number of unconfirmed transaction keeps increasing.

Only solution seems increasing bitcoin block size,so transaction of normal users can confirmed, right now it seems like bitcoin is network of richs who pay more fees.
