Thanks for the help!

Thats a big one. 19281 with 200,000 satoshi fee which is with ~10 satoshi per byte still at the low end of the TX currently waiting for a confirmation.

I will keep rebroadcasting it though, let me know if you want me to stop (e.g. because its confirmed or because the sender wants to attempt a double spend).

I actually did not send the transaction , its beening sent to me. Is it an easy thing to do to increase the fee of an existing unconfirmed Transaction ?

In this case there is not much you can do besides withholding your part (if its a trade) until its confirmed. I think it would be best to talk to the sender and discuss which way you want to go.

#1 keep reminding the network about the current TX and hope that it will get picked up eventually. I and others can help with that if you post the TX ID

#2 Hope that the network forgets about the current TX so the sender can recreate the TX with a higher fee.

there's two ways. one makes it return to the sender's wallet and the other will need the sender to double spend it. basically it's up to the sender. you can only wait.

Lol wouldn't it be hilarious if someone tried trolling you by sending you a payment with very low fee?

You can try sending me some coins with a low fee if you want.

Is there any way to tell if the transaction has propagated the network correctly. I'm not an advanced user so no idea if rebroadcasting would help.

It may help speed it up a little but not sure if you could change it's fee since you included only 0.002BTC and for fast confirmations you should have chose something around 60 per byte or rather 0.01156860BTC instead. Are you using blockchain.info wallet?

The transaction is listed as medium priority? Should I be worried with the large pool of unconfirmed transactions ?

Nothing to be worried about, it'll soon be confirmed. ~~You sent with a decent amount of fees, so it seems.~~

My bad... The transaction is pretty big, but still, it should get confirmed over time.

Most likely answers you get are: 1) fee to low, 2) its it a spam transaction, 3) your tx depends on confirming previous unconfirmed transactions \s

still better than guessing wildly without even knowing what the problem there is. I doubt you even clicked the link.

I havent clicked the link, my answer is sarcastic, thus "\s" there. And anyway, what other likely explanation you you can have?

So you think the mem pool has to clear before this goes through ?

no. you just need a little luck (or a miner.). that tx have 0.002 fee (around 10 sat per byte. a bit low but not too low.) so I doubt you'll have to wait for too long. and the priority will increase as the inputs get more confirmation.

thank you for the replies.

not looking good. that tx have a huge size (19KB!!)
you'll probably not get your btc anytime soon. if it takes too long, you can choose make the mempool drop the tx so that it'll return to your wallet. but that also takes time.

edit:

if it makes you feel better. two weeks ago someone sent a 8kb tx with .0001 fee and it got confirmed in about a day (thread). iirc the mempool was slightly flooded too back then but not as bad as now.
