Why the fuck won't my transaction confirm...?

I sent 2 different bitcoin transactions from electrum to different people and they aren't confirming. It's been 5 hours now and one of my orders is going to expire if it doesn't go through. The fuck is going on??

Using an old version of electrum? If so, /r/Bitcoin/comments/59e9hs/psa_old_versions_of_electrum_default_btc_xfer/ might help for future transactions by setting a more appropriate tx fee.

Fight for reasonable on-chain scaling solutions. Right now the leading contender is Bitcoin Unlimited. More info at /r/btc
