You can get a good estimate from this source regarding the fees that you can use:

At the moment the fees are quite high - 19 Sat/Byte. If you are in a hurry, add a few more Sat's to your transaction.

The reason is most likely because you use a sub-standard fees when the mempool is full, or in other words, your transaction has relatively low fees compared to other transaction at the moment, and miners decided to mine other tx because they can get more rewards. If you want to get fast confirmation, next time try to use higher fee (look at mempool stats, or use Electrum to find ideal tx for the moment you do your transaction) than the rest of the transaction.

So, in short = if you can pay higher, your transaction will get faster confirmation (not faster than 10 minutes though).

It just got confirmed.

Always check for mempool spikes before creating a thread about an unconfirmed tx: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,24h

Hello

Can anyone tell me why my BTC transaction is not getting confirmed. It has been more than 2 hrs. I am waiting and waiting since then. Not even a single confirmation. Is there any issue in bitcoin netowork ? Is there anyone who is also having a similar issue. Or I am facing this issue only. What could be the reason, can anyone tell me.
