I have the same problem with one transaction.20 hours and still 0 confirmations.
This really stops bitcoin gorwth and mass adoption.What is the btc price is $3000?
We will have to wait for more than a week for a transaction to be confirmed.

With the price up and trading going up, fees are skyrocketing. Transactions a few days ago took hours which was too long. My now it's been 24 hours and still 0 confirmations. Besides the major annoyance and risk this causes, is there any way to fix BTC? I don't see it surviving unreliability.

Thats how it works. If you want faster confirmation on your transaction, just put a higher fees. The higher, the faster the transaction to be confirmed. Or use this https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
Dont know if its effective because i haven't tried this before. Let me know if its effective. Guess we dont have much choice. We need to higher our fees to make faster. Hope they fix this.

If the price of btc is 3k id be happy to pay 3x in tx fees. Now $ 3-5, because i Would be sooo much richer that i really dont care.

Fees wont change until the market lets miners know they are unhappy. Currently the market is telling miners they love what they are doing.

we should think about changing something real simple.
the tx priority formulae to actually solve things like bloat/respend spam. where by the more bloated (tx bytes) and the more frequent (tx age) a spend is made. the more it costs.

imagine that we decided its acceptable that people should have a way to get priority if they have a lean tx and signal that they only want to spend funds once a day. where if they want to spend more often costs rise, if they want bloated tx, costs rise.. which then allows those that just pay their rent once a month or buys groceries every couple days to be ok using onchain bitcoin.. and where the costs of trying to spam the network (every block) becomes expensive where by they would be better off using LN. (for things like faucet raiding every 5-10 minutes)

so lets think about a priority fee thats not about rich vs poor but about respend spam and bloat.

lets imagine we actually use the tx age combined with CLTV to signal the network that a user is willing to add some maturity time if their tx age is under a day, to signal they want it confirmed but allowing themselves to be locked out of spending for an average of 24 hours.

and where the bloat of the tx vs the blocksize has some impact too... rather than the old formulae which was more about the value of the tx

here is one example


as you can see its not about tx value. its about bloat and age.
this way
those not wanting to spend more than once a day and dont bloat the blocks get preferential treatment onchain.
if you are willing to wait a day but your taking up 1% of the blockspace. you pay more
if you want to be a spammer spending every block. you pay the price
and if you want to be a total ass-hat and be both bloated and respending often you pay the ultimate price

yes its not perfect. but atleast lets think about using CODE to choose whats acceptable. rather than playing bankers economic value games of rich guys always win, or the bankers ecomonic games of 'just pay more.. that way we are no longer pushing the third world countries out of using bitcoins mainnet.
