Is the blockchain being extremely slow today?

I sent coins to the market wallet 8 hours ago and it's still an unconfirmed transaction....

Currently 20k unconfirmed transactions according to https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions so possibly? It's been way higher before though.

Your transaction fee is probably super low. I sent my BTC from two wallets, a tumbler, and to the market all within like 2.5 hours or so earlier today. It will either get picked up eventually within 72 hours or it will be returned to the originating wallet.

Might want to use https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ to help determine the appropriate fee next time before sending. With the right fee, you usually only have to wait about 20-30 minutes per transfer max unless things are megafucked. There's also some website or script to push/rebroadcast a transaction but I don't have a link, maybe someone else can post it.

I haven't done this in a few months. I didn't know about this fee thing. I really wanted to get an order in tonight but at this rate it doesn't look like it can happen. Does anyone know if there's a way to push it through or something?

Yeah. Sent some coins to a wallet this morning and still hasn't had a confirmation.

For future reference, how do I pay a higher fee to make it go faster? I'm using electrum.
