Oh now I get it. Thanks for your help

I got curious about something... is there a fixed price list or something to know how much fee is needed for x kbytes ?

The fee is not fixed. It varies depending on the number of unconfirmed transactions. I use this site: http://www.cointape.com/ to estimate fees. It does satoshis per byte. You just figure out the size of the transaction and then calculate the fee based on that.

Problem: The previous transaction isn't confirmed and has multiple unconfirmed transaction as parents.

Sorry I'm new to this so, what do you mean?

Bitcoin spends outputs from other transactions. A transaction can only become confirmed if all of the transactions that it spends outputs from are also confirmed. If those previous transactions are not confirmed, then the transaction will not confirm.

The source of the problem is https://blockchain.info/tx/a80d093e497b854a94e176c339d1b8bf3996f213f9f921cb91aaa7f6597da893. This transaction was holding up the chain as it was unconfirmed. It had a relatively low fee and a large size. Fees are based on transaction size (as in the size in bytes of the transaction).

Since that transaction has now been confirmed, all later transactions (including yours) are also now confirmed.

I bought BTC from foxbit.com and them sent it to my wallet. Which was empty. And from what I read it doesn't take that long.

It means the parent sender for those coins isn't confirmed yet... but i see it's confirmed now

Did you paid a fee? In wallet settings..

It was sent to my wallet from foxbit.com. The site puts a 0.0001 Fee as you can see on blockchain.

It's marked as high priority, has an Ok fee, so any ideas on what could be wrong?
