See we told you that all will go fine and you get your coins !
Glad you got it after a few hours and yeb if you want to get your transaction faster solved you have to put more on the fees.
Just for information the most exchanges or platforms use an standart fee thats a bit higher so the transactions get faster done .
Topic: I think I've made a terrible mistake!! :( (Read 310 times)
mersal, ...yes, I've learned from my mistake...I will pay the higher fee next time but it's all confirmed and sorted now 
looks like I've got one confirmation now.
Learn more about the transaction fee,if you did used less fee from the recommended fee then you may have to wait for few hours for the transaction to enter into a block,for faster transaction use priority fee structure on blockchain wallet.

If you were running your own wallet such as Electrum, you would be able to use a feature called "Replace by fee" to bump the fee up. However, this is not possible with blockchain.com (as far as I am aware).
I presume I can't pay more now to speed it up? 
I have been watching the stats on https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,8h and it definitely looks like those over are paying more keep getting confirmed before me - doesn't look like I'll ever get to the front of the queue
You absolutely will. Miners obviously pick the transactions with the highest fee first to maximize their own profits. You have paid 2.5 sats/byte. When you made the transaction, peak fees were 20 sats/byte. Now, a few hours later, they are 10 sats/byte. The mempool usually empties over the next few hours, around about midnight UTC. Just be patient. Go do something else for 3 or 4 hours to take your mind off it.

are you sure it's safe to share my transaction ID? (if I can find it!).
I think it's safe because there is no ways for other people to hack your bitcoin unless you don't share your private key
My fee is 0.00002532 BTC so obviously not enough for a fast confirmation. It was what Blockchain put as the fee and I accepted it. They also offered a higher one - a priority one and I chose that for my 2nd transfer.
Thats nearly the same i has got last week for my transaction and i can say dont worry it will come true !
Just wait and it will happen at some stage , i was looking the first 2 hours also if i have got that and after that i dont looked around every minute and 4 - 5 hours or maybe 6 it was confirmed .

From a security perspective - yes, it's perfectly safe. There is nothing someone can do just by seeing your TXID and addresses. This information is publicly available for every transaction ever made.
From a privacy perspective - maybe not. If you are concerned about people linking wallet addresses or bitcoin amounts to your forum identity/username/activities, then don't share.
Open your blockchain.com wallet, click on "Bitcoin" from the sidebar on the left, then click on "Sent" from the menu at the top, and you will see your sent transactions. From there you should be able to find your transaction ID - it's a 64 character long string of numbers and letters from 0-9 and a-f.
If you don't want to share it, then search for it yourself on https://blockchair.com/ and check the amounts and addresses are correct. If you click on the "Click to see more" option on the right hand side of that page, you'll see a field that is called "Fee per kVB". The fee required at the moment for a fast confirmation is 0.00020000 BTC or higher. Anything lower than that and you will just have to be patient. The lower you are, the more patient you will need to be.

Why don't you share the unconfirmed transaction ID here first so we can take a look at it.
The mempool is currently pretty backed up, as you can see from this site: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,8h. You currently need fees of around 20 sats/byte to be within 1 MB from the tip and be confirmed in the next block. If you have selected a low fee of a few sats/byte, then it will like be several hours or more before the mempool empties enough to confirm your transaction.
If you have made the transaction and can see it on a block explorer, then contacting blockchain.com will be futile. There is nothing else they can do.
Free transaction accelerators are usually a waste of time. Just be patient. Provided you can see your transaction "unconfirmed" on a block explorer, and the addresses are correct, then your coins are quite safe.

is there any security risk in entering my transaction ID on that site?
I've just gone to the Blockchain support page & it says 'Blockchain has no control over if or when a transaction confirms. This is handled entirely by the bitcoin network of miners of which we are not a part of', so doesn't look like contacting them will help.
i think you can try the transaction accelerator https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
you can use the transaction accelerator above if you got lucky enough you will include in a few next blocks that mined from viabtc pool

Yes, I'd be very wary about giving anybody my details. Do you think I need to do anything or just wait? Original transaction now has 12 confirmations but follow up one still has none.

This is when you need to take a step back, relax, and avoid rushing to find the wrong support. I believe you wallet is on Blockchain.com. If so, they have a support page (https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us) and a request formulary (https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/requests/new). The have social channels as can be seen at the foot of their site, but no Telegram channel. The best is probably to go through the above, and avoid the possibility of being lured into false conversations by impersonators on social media channels.
<...>
It probably won't hurt to query them now through their formulary, since they may take time getting back to you.
the transaction importing my coins to my blockchain wallet now has 11 confirmations but my 2nd transaction transferring them out still has none. What is telegram.....how/where can I contact them? Do you mean on here or on the Blockchain site? Thanks.
