Hi OP, Sometimes  https://etherscan.io/gastracker is more accurate than https://ethgasstation.info
before sending a transaction check the current gas safelow everytime it might change any moment it depends on Eth Network.

It is confirmed already.It has to be on your account
Next time do not try to save on gwei.It is still much cheaper than btc fee and you will have your coin much faster on your account

I think your transaction has been successful and it's no more than 4 hours, .. why do you make the statement more than 6 hours? sometimes you have to add transaction costs .. so that delivery can be quick to be confirmed to be successful .. be patient before you throw a statement that is not true .. lock this thread!

With your transaction, everything is fine now. Today the ether network did not work, so the transactions did not pass. Its OK now. So this is a temporary inconvenience. And before sending it is always necessary to check the situation on the gas station: https://ethgasstation.info/

https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-base/gas/what-is-gas-ethereum.html   -  instructionn what is gwei, how to set it correctly and how transfers on etherum platworm works
https://www.ethgasstation.info/index.php - gwei calculator

Most ofeten 5-10 gwei is enought to transfer tokens imediatly. Today 40 was needed (which can be up to 1,5$). I think that it was caused because it is first day of month and lots of ico distributed their tokens and overload miners. Alwais check and set gwei correct.  If you dont need to transfer tokens in specyfic time its better to awoid sending them when network is overload.
Few days ago i send my tokens for 1 gwei in 5 min (0,02$)- network was that free.

That transaction is already confirmed mate.

But with whatever I am seeing there I have complete idea why it was pending for longer than usual.

The transaction had the Gwei paid at 23 but the recommended is 41 Gwei fees.

According to the calculation of gas station your transaction was supposed to get confirmed within 2 hours and with the scanner it can be seen that its confirmed with 1 hour 50 min ago. So everything is right.

If you want faster time then increase your Gwei that is Tx fess.

While this has been already confirmed, and I must admit I'm not too familiar with the tx prices for ETH off the top of my head. I did find this site which could be a pretty good resource for you

https://ethgasstation.info/

It shows that the average tx for eth is .39 cents -- while you paid approximately 20 cents or so. Well below the average acceptable price. I would check this before going ahead with another transaction so you don't end up in this situation again. Goodluck!
