The transaction have been mined by ViaBTC.

You should never use low fee if you don't want to wait a long time for confirmation, but if this happens again you can always use https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to make ViaBTC mine the tx in their next block. Just don't rely on ViaBTC or any specific pools too much because you'll still need to wait few hours for them to mine a block sometimes.

Worse it can happen , it will be stuck 72 hours and it will confirm or get back to your wallet after roughly 5-7 days when using electrum wallet.

Since this is a problem of fees , you have to do this.

Go to 1. Tools 2. Preferences 3. Dynamic fees (make sure the tick box is checked) 4. When sending a transaction move the slider all the way to the right and this problem won't happen ever again.

However this way you will pay higher fees than recommended but for me it's worthwhile doing so.

Thank you very much!

I'm using the Electrum Wallet and i really don't know what to do...
Either the transaction will go through, or it will eventually return to your wallet. I don't know what the "time-out" on Electrum is. You could also attempt 'Child-pays-for-parent'. Read more about it here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-complete-idiots-guide-to-child-pays-for-parent-1118563

The included fee is very low. You've included just ~20 satoshis/byte while the current recommended fee is 120 satoshis/byte[1]. If you're using a web wallet, then you can contact their support team. If you are using a local/desktop wallet, then there are things that you can do depending on which wallet you're using. Therefore, what wallet are you using?

What wallet are you using? You should be able to send again with higher fee now.

Or if you want to rebroadcast it to the network, just copy this and submit it to https://blockchain.info/pushtx .

Hey,
i made a transaction two days ago and got no confirmations because of low fee. today blockchain.info says "Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: Transaction was previously accepted but has been pruned from our database.".

is there a way to get my bitcoins back?

transaction id: 0c9475f5f459fc87631557323d36f52369b056250aa8047f7df87d624459427b
